drop down black section of screen with white arrow - what is this?

hello - i've just got the iphone 7 and this is a feature that i'm not sure how i'm making it happen or what it's meant to do? i can't find anything in the manual that explains it and i don't know how to describe it in a way that brings any decent search results.


would really appreciate anyone explaining what this is, what it does and how i do it! apologies in advance for dimness of my question.

That is called reachability where you can tap the icons at the top with one hand. See this help article about it. Scroll to the bottom where it says “reach the top”. https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT208204. That explains how to do it. Just swipe up on the arrow to return to the normal screen.
