20+ year android user here but my new S25 has got me confused... maybe I'm getting old

here are a few of my questions, hopefully someone can help

1. When I drag down to open the notification page on my s23 it would show the wifi/bluetooth/airplane mode etc.. on the top and then it would show my notifications below it, now on my S25 I have to make sure I place my finger at the left or center of the screen to see the notification (no more wifi/bluetooth etc..) and if I drag it down on the right it shows the wifi/bluetooth/airplane mode but no notifications! I really like having both and not having to worry about where to place my finger, is there a way to change it?

2. I listen to podcasts a lot on youtube when I drive so I would have google maps on the main screen and youtube on the picture in picture, if I wanted to swap the two screen I would tap on the PIP screen and then press the arrow that shows the two arrows pointing that are diagonal and it would flip the big screen to the small and small to the big, now when I press that arrow it just maximizes the PIP screen but closes the bigger screen

3. When I click on a instagram link that a friend sent it used to open the IG app and I could see the post but now it opens the browser and it asks me if I want to open it in the IG app, when I click yes it just keeps looping and never loads the page. see attached video here

 
Hi
For the notifications panel to default back the way it was in Android 14 , pull your notification panel down and follow my screenshot then when done choosing it back out and hit done.
