Up until the latest build of iOS 14, users could swipe right on their lock screen notifications to open the associated app. This allowed users to jump straight into the app, with a single clean swipe to the right. iOS 15 changes this behavior, opening the widgets screen instead.
Apple hasn't made it clear whether this "Swipe right to open widgets" thing is intentional or just a bug. If we hear anything concrete, we'll be sure to add it to our article here.
