Hello porterjer,
Thanks for reaching out on the Apple Support Communities. From your message it sounds like quick actions menus are appearing when you go to launch an app from the Home screen of your iPhone. This article provides a screenshot of a quick action menu, and provides additional information: Perform quick actions on iPhone.
If this is correct, begin by checking the 3D or Haptic Touch sensitivity on your iPhone: Change 3D or Haptic Touch sensitivity on your iPhone.
If there is no change in the performance, try restarting your iPhone with these steps: Restart your iPhone. This step can often resolve unexpected behaviors.
All the best.
