Galaxy SIt's possible that the screen flickering / blinking / UI glitch may be related to Samsung Messages, although it seems that it's more common on the S21 series.
To see if it is indeed the cause on your device, try a couple of things.
First go to Settings >Apps search for Samsung Messages & click on it, scroll down to "Allow to Appear on Top" and Toggle it OFF.
The second thing to try, is to download Google Messages (if you're not already using it, if you are disregard the next step).
After downloading Google Messages from the Play Store, make it your Default Messaging app. If Samsung Messages is causing the UI Glitch, by setting Google Messages as the default messaging app, the blinking / flickering UI glitch should stop, as Samsung Messages is no longer trying to pop-up with a notification.
Let me know if this works for you.
As for Maps & YouTube, I don't have any issues on my S20 Ultra which is running the same update as you.
I always Boot into Recovery after any Security Patch Update & Wipe Cache. It shouldn't be necessary, but I've never had any problems with this approach.

Galaxy SAs an aside I have always used the default Samsung messages so I am concerned about transferring to a different messaging platform because I'm worried about history and functionality changes. But that will be my next step according to your steps above if this first step doesn't work
Thanks again

Galaxy SI wouldn't be concerned about using Google Messages instead of Samsung Messages (I believe that Samsung is migrating to Google Messages themselves anyway), but I can switch the Default Messaging app on my S20 Ultra & I don't lose any of my texts or functions, no matter how often I switch between the two.
Regardless of which Messaging app you use, it is always a good idea to backup your messages to Smart Switch, Google Cloud or One Drive (as Samsung Cloud will be deprecated shortly).
Hope this helps 🙂

Galaxy SSounds like using my suggestion, of selecting Google Messages as the default Messaging app is a "solution" lol 😂

Galaxy SI've been using Google Messages all along & never had any issues with screen flickering on my S20 Ultra.
Hopefully it'll be the solution for you 🤞
