Swipe down issue

[ksam11]

Since this morning, if I swipe down on home screen from either top or anywhere on screen for quick panel, it opens full screen instead of showing notifications.

I haven't changed any settings recently, yet this issue is bugging me since this morning.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks

Try a soft reboot by turning the phone off and on and also xhecking all your relevant settings again please @ksam11

OK try these steps. 

• Clear Cache Files from the phone's System Partition Section  > https://www.samsung.com/uk/support/mobile-devices/how-do-i-clear-the-cache-on-my-device/ You may need to insert your earphones or hook upto a powered On Laptop or use a Tv's USB Port to access the Clear Partition Section. This may help with lag or stutters as this clears the phone of old/unused or broken cache files.There is also a Repair Apps option in the Menu System too. 
• Safe Mode  > https://www.samsung.com/uk/support/mobile-devices/how-to-start-my-galaxy-device-in-safe-mode/ turns off downloaded apps and themes etc which may highlight an app or theme that's causing conflict. 
• Last resort back up and factory reset.

I really appreciate your suggestions mate! Thank you

I managed to find the issue at last. I did all of above steps but nothing worked.
As I reset all settings, I had to set up everything again. While making all the changes I came across GOOD LOCK> Quickstar>Quick setting instant access.

As soon as I turned that off, the annoying thing stopped. Not sure how it got turned on, but yeah found the solution.

Thanks a lot once again.
