(scribbled over for privacy ofc) I’ve had my iphone 12 mini since the beginning of this year, and I’ve run into this function a couple times before; if I swipe down on the very bottom of the sceen, my display just sort of slides down and I get this. I’ve never been able to put anything here or interact further than this, so I’m just curious, what is this meant for??

One handed mode? Android has a similar option.

It supposed to help you to reach the top of the screen with your thumb when you have small hands and hold the iPhone with one hand. Apple implemented this when they started to sell the MAX version of the iPhones. Having a big screen, people started to complain because they can't reach the top of the screens holding the iPhone with one hand.
