Completely agree. I just installed the update on my tablet - very annoying.

100% agree with this.

I understand why we have swipe: because in the new UI design with the notification lists you need a way to ensure the notification list is out of the way before you display e.g. the PIN pad.

However, for users like me who a) do not even want the notifications in a list in the first place and b) just find swipe to be an irritating extra step, we can come up with a better solution.

For example, create a new notifications option to show notifications "At top of screen" (as they were before and where I would prefer them), and then so long as this option, or no notifications, was the notification option, and a security option (e.g. PIN) is set, then show an extra option to turn off swipe.

Please, UI people, stop adding additional steps to a workflow we execute dozens of times daily.

Yes, agreed. A step has been added which is utterly pointless if you have notifications turned off. I used to like my phone, now I have to work twice as hard to use it

I agree! Create a new notifications option to show notifications "At top of screen" (as they were before).

I want to quickly be able to see if I have a new notification, but I don't want all the details to be there for everyone else to see.

If I wanted everyone to see my notifications, I would have bought an iPhone.

Also, allow us to set if we want the ability to quick launch the phone or camera from the launch screen (I don't).  I am very use to quickly swiping my phone to unlock it.  However, with the change in lollipop, I end up in the phone or camera where I don't want to be.
