iOS 10.2.1 possible bug fix

Hi all
I believe the latest update has fixed a bug that I have been encountering for a long time now: if anyone else can confirm this, that would be great. Direct touch seems to work consistently now when bringing up the keyboard on a text message notification. By this, I mean that using direct touch on the keyboard accessed by flicking up on a notification and double tapping the more item appears to work consistently, which it did not do before.
