iPhone Contacts app stuck on Lists

Iphone X IOS 16.1.2 - the contacts app is stuck on the LISTS function. I can add a list or edit a list, but I can't get off the LISTS screen.

I've closed the app - no luck.

I've powered off and restarted.

I saw a related topic where a solution was to hold the power down button simultaneously with the sleep/wake button and wait for the Apple logo ignoring the slide to power off. I never get the Apple logo.

Any ideas

Whew, I think some are missing the point in this discussion. I just solved this problem for someone else. Do you see the three blue little men icon on the left. Tap there and you will return to your normal contacts listing interface. When you are in the actual contacts be wary of the blue listings word in the upper left. Hitting it takes you into the original conundrum you experienced. Nit very intuitive for sure.
