Have you tried force restarting your phone?

Restart an unresponsive iPhone - Apple Support

If it's just a display glitch, that might fix it.

It almost looks like AssistiveTouch but it's not the right color (it's black on my iPhone using iOS 26.7.1). It could be a mouse pointer (How to use a pointer device with AssistiveTouch on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support) but I don't know many people using one on an iPhone (it's more common for iPads.)

1. Do you see the circle on all the pages of the Gome Screen or just in the App Library?
2. Can you move the circle?
3. Can you tap the circle to see what it does?

Could you post a screenshot? Beside AssistiveTouch I don't know what this could be.

6x6 ~ At the top of the circle, notice a smaller, whiter ellipse (it's not the folder panel showing thru.) ...Could that be a clue?

assistive touch?

this is the extreme example from an Apple article.

That button is completely moveable.

Hi Alancito, I see what you mean. It looks like a Liquid Glass (3D) artifact. Could it be some sort of magnifying glass (even though it's not transparent enough)?

Dunno. To be clearer, I filled in the small ellipse with red:
