iPad Air’s touchscreen stopped working properly the 26.2.1 update

Ever since I got the 26.2.1 update, my iPad Air has been very unresponsive. Tapping and typing work normally, but I can’t scroll or swipe unless I use my Apple Pencil. This has been very inconvenient and frustrating since I do take notes and draw on my iPad. Is this a software issue or something I should get checked at an apple centre?
