It is asking me to keep or delete and it's talking about long press on widgets. 
I need to make a choice before it lets me out. I'm not sure what I'm keeping or 
deleting, the option to long press?

You are likely in the Today view, or the app library.
Reboot, and see if you can come back to the home screen.
Also try telling Siri, "go to the home screen."

Updating did not cause this.
I've updated several devices with no issues at all.

I just updated my mini IPad to 15.2 and no longer have access to my home 
screen. All I can get is  widgets with a keep or delete option and the weather. 
How can I get my home screen back and will this happen on my older SE phone

test all devices, configurations, applications, and use cases. Accordingly, to 
help us ensure that the information on this page is as complete and accurate as

Turn it off completely and back on again after 30 seconds or so, usually that 
fixes any strange after-update issues.

  Apple Releases iOS 15.2 and iPadOS 15.2; Bringing Apple Music Voice Plan, App 
Privacy Report, New Safety Features, and Bug Fixes
  Submitted by AppleVis on Monday, December 13, 2021.



  Apple has today released iOS 15.2 and iPadOS 15.2 to the public.

  Our experience is that the following accessibility bugs have been resolved or 
significantly addressed in iOS 15.2 and iPadOS 15.2:

a.. “Hey Siri” appears to now work as expected when your device is locked.
b.. if you have Safari configured so that its address bar is at the top of 
the screen, you can once again use a Bluetooth keyboard or braille display's 
keyboard to enter text in to the address bar.
c.. When using the emoji search facility to find and insert an emoji in to 
a text field, when you double-tap on the desired emoji VoiceOver once again 
announces the bane of the emoji that's been inserted rather than announcing the 
last character that you typed.
d.. When using drag and drop to rearrange the position of a shortcut in the 
Shortcuts app, VoiceOver once again provides meaningful feedback whilst 
dragging regarding where the shortcut will be placed when dropped.
e.. On the Power Off / Medical ID / Emergency Call screen, VoiceOver no 
longer finds and speaks erroneous UI elements if invoked when you have an open 
app in the foreground.
f.. When using the Mantis braille display and changing the rotor setting 
with up and left or up and right arrow, speech will no longer unmute itself if 
muted.
  At the time of writing we are unaware of any new bugs or regressions for 
blind and low vision users in these releases.

  As we always stress, we can make no claims on the completeness or accuracy of 
our testing. We are only a small team, and it is simply impossible for us to 
test all devices, configurations, applications, and use cases. Accordingly, to 
help us ensure that the information on this page is as complete and accurate as 
possible, please let us know in the comments of any additional fixes; 
enhancements; or regressions that you find in your own use of iOS 15.2 and 
iPadOS 15.2.
