Notch and older iphone apps

I just upgraded to an iPhone 11 and noticed that a lot of older apps and games do not work correctly anymore due to the notch, where the notch (and the rounded corners of the screen) hide buttons etc.

Is there a way to run these apps in a way so they do work on my new phone, or is this not possible and are these apps effectively lost forever?

How do you move iPhone apps when using iOS 12.3? The latest "upgrade" seems to have taken the ease of moving apps on your iPhone and made it more difficult. I am using an iPhone 8 Plus and pressing down on an app no longer puts all the app icons in motions and allows you to easily move apps forward, backward, up, or down. Does anyone have a solution to this new problem?

Why don't apps fill the screen on my ipad mini 6? Most of the apps I've downloaded from the App store onto my ipad mini 6 don't fill the screen - they use about half of the screen size. I may as well be using a phone! Is this yet another Apple design fault or is there a solution? Thanks.

Why can' I download Apps on my new iohine 12 mini? The button on the side of the screen does not appear large enough to click on it. I can't download any new Apps on my Iphone 12 mini because the sliding button on the side of the screen is too narrow to click on. How do I fix this?
