my safari is weird now after update and its hard to find the search bar and safari closes often

My safari on my ipad pro is no longer working correctly after I did my updates. It shuts down often and it also has no search bar anymore. Also when you close out all of your screens 'ghost screens' or 'shadows of screens' remain for a few seconds. Is there anything I can do to fix these issues?


iPad Pro, iPadOS 15
