1 of 3 Issues with Recent Update

My Minecraft app updated recently and now the game that I've enjoyed with my kids for years has become nearly unusable.

• The first issue was that the entire screen was shifted upwards, such that the health and hunger bars were completely off the screen. Nothing was resized or distorted, just moved upwards off of the screen. I'm unable to find a setting to shift the screen back downwards, so I've had to use the option to change the screen safe area, which doesn't move the screen but rather scales it downward until the health and hunger bars are visible again. That makes everything smaller and also shifts my hot bar and controls even further away from the edge, making them hard to reach and use.

 I did notice some graphics improvements. That water looks nice! ...however, these issues have killed the playability of the game for me. Please help. Thank you in advance!
