iPhone 15 Dynamic Island blocking /cutting off content on Apps ?

On iPhone 15 the names and other details on Snapchat get cut off by the dynamic island, similarly many other apps are facing same issue. Also when you view a snap it moves it to the top of the screen and you have a large black bar at the bottom of the screen which is very annoying.

The Snapchat issue started after iPhone is updated to iOS 17 and it appears that everything has been shifted upwards and on the Snapchat screen you can see the time and battery indicator are overlapping on the Snapchat user screen.
