Swiping Down in iMessage

Hello,


I am hoping someone can tell me if it’s possible to disable this setting; when I receive a message in iMessage, I attempt to swipe down to show more notifications, but I must be swiping from some other part of the top of the screen by mistake sometimes because it begins to record a voice note as a reply. This only seems to happen when the message is first opened, because I have tried to recreate this after stopping and canceling the voice note reply and I am unable to do so until a new messages comes in.


so the flow is:

  1. click on new message notification
  2. opens the message in iMessage
  3. (presumably) accidentally swiping down incorrectly
  4. voice note starts recording as a reply to the message
  5. i cancel the recording and delete it from the reply field
  6. attempt and fail to swipe down to recreate this to try and identify where I am swiping
  7. repeat when a new message notification comes in


thanks.
