How do I swipe notifications in lock screen?

I understood one of the new features for iOS 5 was that I could swipe notifications on the lock screen to go directly to the application. I cannot get this to work on neither my iPhone 3GS nor my iPad. Is this only supported on iPhone 4S?

iPhone 3GS, iOS 5

I completely understand your question and grappled with the same issue all night and morning until I accidentally figured it out...


To activate an app by swiping a notification from the lock screen, grab the icon of the notification and swipe it to the right. For example, for a calendar notification, grab the little calendar as if it were going to be dragged form the left to the right of the screen.


Hope this helps!
