Richard, this happens to me several times a day. I’ll open an app either via Siri or tapping on it and I’m put into the dynamic island. I’ve asked around a bit and nobody else seems to be able to repro this so I’m sereiously considering doing a full reset. It’s incredibly annoying. (lol)
Once I’m stuck in the dynamic island, I have to exit to the home screen and open the app again. I may call Apple accessibility but most likely wind up resetting.

I find the dynamic island to be more trouble than what it's worth. I realize there are things you can do with it but it's constantly getting in the way, stealing focus away from what you are doing. I hate it and wish there was a way of disabling it. If there is a way of getting rid of it, I'd love to know. Maybe a good tutorial on using the dynamic island from a blind user's perspective would be a great thing.
