Annoying feature in iOS 16.

Ever since IOS 16 came out, everything has been working fine for my iPhone 13 Pro. Except 1 thing, the Lock Screen, or when it’s unlocked.

When your at the Lock Screen, your widgets, flashlight button, and camera button show, basically it still works the same. However, it’s NOT the same when your in the app, your widgets, flashlight and camera button disappears, and you can’t slide to the to slide to reveal other larger widgets, however if you tap on it, all of that reappears, however you still can’t slide to the other side to see widgets, however in horizontal mode, it’s 100% worse then in vertically, because you literally can’t see widgets, at all, your background is greyed out for no reason at all, the only thing that shows is the “now playing and the notifications. Basically making swiping down pointless, since I can’t check my airpods battery, nor Apple Watch, which is a huge bummer, because before iOS 16, this is the main way to check it whether I need to put my Apple Watch to charge or AirPods. It would really be great if they reverted this change, and sliding to the side just to check some information was really useful.
