Jump back to the first Home screen?

I got my first iOS device with no home button. I seem to know most of the gestures, but I don't know the shortcut for returning to the first home screen if you're on the last home screen, which is where the iPhone puts new app icons if all the other screens are filled up.


It's a lot of swiping to go back to the first screen, and you used to be able to do it by pressing the home button, which is no longer there. Long pressing the on/off button brings up Siri, and pressing on/off plus volume takes a screenshot.


How do you quickly return to the home screen?

iPhone 6 Plus, iOS 12
