This is ridiculous.
I currently have it set in notifications to ‘list’ as opposed to ‘stack’ and it’s not much of a difference.
Wish we could go back to how notifications were initially displayed.
Kinda wish I would’ve stayed on iOS15 and only upgraded to iOS 15 cause the it was needed for WatchOs9 but was not life altering.
Like seriously this is ridiculous.

I just updated to 16 and this is so stupid, as always an Apple way, change something for worse have no options to disable it, coerce people to use it, ignore anyone who doesn't like it.
You guys!!! I just installed 16.2 Beta 4 on my test device, and now the top-left swipe down action always brings up the Notification Center! No more secondary swipe up action is needed.
This is can confirm. It brings the notifications. However, if you like scroll up the high the single notification, it glitch and bring itself like up the clock numbers…
Just wanted to post my thoughts here. I just finally upgraded to iOS 16 a few days ago and I've been missing (as in not seeing) notifications all the time now. They're completely pointless on the lock screen. If I already have around 4 notifications, new ones like important texts from people, don't show up. My phone just lights up and I see old notifications. I actually have to scroll down to see why my phone lit up. How did this get past QA?
FYI I'm using list view because the other options are even worse.

It is normally fixed in iOS 16.2 coming next week.
By fixed I mean they bring back the way it was on iOS 15. So old notifications are visible without a swipe from the top left swipe down. But it will alway require an additional swipe up frop center on the Lock Screen.
From what we saw from the iOS 16.2 RC1, it is. At least for the "no need to swipe up" if Notification Center is popped from the swipe down top left corner, and not from the Lock Screen.
If you think about the presentation of Notifications (like from the bottom, even in List), it will remain iOS 16 looking, yeah.
Question for those who are on the RC: does swiping away a notification from the Lock Screen / Notification Centre always emits a subtle second vibration after 1 second?
Like: swipe to left [insta vibrates] -> vibrates again 1 second after?
It's really annoying as it vibrates more than 1 second after and seems like a bug...

I held out on iOS 16 until today and wow was that an instant mistake. I can’t believe Apple is forcing this notification system down the throats of their user base. I really can’t see the functionality to it. I guess all we can do is just hope for an improvement. What a shame.
Hmm, it is like iOS 15 now: you can see all your notifications, even the older one in the Notification Centre by default when your phone is already unlocked / on the Home Screen by swiping down from the top of the screen.
On a locked phone / on the Lock Screen however, it's always (as it was in iOS 15 too!) only the newer one, and you need to swipe up from the center of the screen if you want to reach older one from here.
Yes this on top of when you pull down to search, the text you're typing is at the bottom now while your results are at the top so your eyes are doing double time. Whoever the UI/UX person is they need to fire them. I'm getting so sick of my iPhone OS lately it just gets worse and worse. Now Siri starts rambling about how it seems i usually use messages to text (name), I'll go ahead and use that instead of just confirming I want to send a message. Homekit hasn't worked since 16, my wife can't tap to pay anymore, Siri almost never can resume playing my music if I tell it to pause and on my watch half the time it won't show the music currently playing or I believe the now playing icon used to display at the top and you could touch it to bring back up your music controls...anyways had to rant lol
I’m used to the new bottom-of-screen placement, and the last update seems to have fixed the other issues.
Now that I've installed iOS 16 on all my devices, I have two questions about the new Lock Screen widgets:
EDIT okay, I just read the thread and this isn’t for questions about Lock Screen widgets, but rather the notifications.
Fortunately, I think I’ve adapted pretty well to the new system.
