iOS 26.2.1 Update to Scrolling

I have an iPad (A16) that was recently updated to iOS 26.2.1. Prior to this update I was able to scroll up & down by touching anywhere on the screen wether I was on the web or any application. Now on the web or other applications I have to go to a sometimes visible sidebar in order to scroll up & down. This change/update is not an update. It is a backdate & not user friendly. Please fix it.
