IOS notifications and locksreen

[fleeper]

For those using ios 5, when you get a notification and it pops up on the lockscreen, are you able to swipe on the notification and go to that particular app (mail or messaging)?

When I get a notification in ios 5 on the LS, I have swiped, tapped, and slapped the screen to no avail.

I'm sure that you need to press and hold the icon then swipe.

Are you using IOS 5?

No sorry. I just re-read your post "For those using ios 5.."

If you check out this video @ .40sec, he demonstrates this feature and has a little difficulty in getting it work. If this is not your issue then please disregard this and hopefully someone else can chime in.

I have seen the video. i just wanted to know if others using IOS 5 are actually able to do this using the beta. If so, then I have an issue; if not, then it is the software and not my phone.

Works on mine. Takes a second try sometimes, but I'm sure it'll be perfect in the final release. Awesome feature.

LOL! I just got a visual of someone slapping their iphone screen around while whispering "whats wrong with you, stop embarassing me in front of people"

Anyway this feature should work seamlessly, have you tried rebooting your phone? If so then restore and install ios 5 again.

It worked when I had iOS 5 but it wasn't as easy to unlock as the Slide to Unlock at the bottom of the screen. Hope Apple fixes that
