iphone 14 pro max - Cannot exit out of apps randomly

4 or 5 times now I've been in an app and when I swipe up to exit the app, I can't leave the app. The only work around seems to be to hit the power button to put the phone to sleep, hit the button again, faceid back in to the phone and then I swipe up/exit the app. Needless to say it's annoying.

I've only been on my iPhone 14 Pro Max for just under two weeks but this has happened like ever other day. It occurred with 16.0.2 and is still occurring with 16.0.3. Can confirm that a restart does nothing to fix the problem as I restarted the phone today due to a different issue and minutes later this issue occurred again. Can confirm its happened with Apple Maps, Apple Mail and Messages apps. Trying to recall if its occurred with any third party apps but unsure. I also have turned off the always on display as I don't like how it appears to drain the battery without me feeling its providing me a big enough benefit.
