Okay so I used to be able to rest my finger on my home button to show me my notification previews without my phone opening but now it’s not working. Instead it just opens, I’m only resting my finger not pressing the home button. How do I fix it? Or what caused it?

iPhone 8, iOS 13

Notification Icon When the red notification icon is lit, I used to be able to swipe down and see the notifications. Now it doesn’t work when I swipe down. How do I fix that?

Pull down notification center not working. My pull down lock screen/notification center is not working. I've tried to restart my phone (multiple times) and swipe on just the left side. It does not work. This is incredibly infuriating, as this is a brand new phone. My only way to view notifications is by locking my phone and viewing them from the locked screen.

Notifications I can no longer swipe down on the notification dot to see them, although I can tap on activity/heart/battery icons. Side buttons work, too. Thoughts?
