where has search function gone in iOS?

I am getting a greyed out screen when I drag down from middle to search my device. What’s happened to the search function?

Hi JoeGadget,


Thank you for participating in the Apple Support Communities. We understand the search function is not working when dragging from the middle of your screen, and we'd like to assist. Do you have the latest version of iOS, 14.4.1?


Update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch


Have you restarted your iPhone since this issue began? This can refresh iOS.


Restart your iPhone


We look forward to your response.


Take care.
