Question Whatsapp reply from home screen without unlocking

[Macdtek]

Hi there, haven't posted for a while as was up untill recently rocking a Redmi note 10 pro in bronze, that was before the toilet ate it. Anyhow now have a goggle pixel 7pro and its a bloomin fantastic phone with so many great bits and bobs. One thing those I haven't been able to sort out or find an answer from the web is,

When the phone is locked and the screen is blank, and a WhatsApp message lands I'm unable to reply to it with out unlocking the phone first. I'm sure on my old redmi I could reply to whatsapp from this screen without the unlock first.

Am I imagining this on my old redmi or is this a security feature of the pixel?

Thanks in advance

Mustang is correct. I had to unlock my old Redmi Note 10 Pro prior to answering WhatsApp messages, or anything else for that matter.
