Can't swipe to open apps or messages, ios 15

I can no longer swipe to open up app notifications or to open up messages. Is this suppose to be happening with iOS 15? Does anyone else have this issue? I try to swipe and it either won't let me, or it swipes to my search screen.

I’ve found that turning Face ID off allows me to swipe right again. I discovered this after I reset my phone and I had to set up Face ID again. I contacted Apple Support via Twitter about this, and they told me that is expected behavior of iOS 15 with a link to leave feedback. So I guess this is a thing now ?
