Retrieve old lock screen notifications I pressed the home button on my iPhone 6.  I noticed that there was a notification on the lock screen - something about iCloud.  Before I could read more than a few words, Touch ID helpfully kicked in and unlocked the phone, taking me to my home screen.

I wanted to finish reading it, so I pulled down the notification center from the top and didn't see the message on Today or Notifications.  Is there any way to get such notifications back, or should I develop muscle memory of clicking the home button and quickly removing my thumb from the button to avoid losing these forever?

edit: This no longer appears to be a problem in iOS 10.  woot
Apple messed up, in my opinion, by taking away the "missed" tab on the notification pull down in iOS 8.   

The only thing I've found that helps is to navigate to settings > notifications and set "sort by time".   After that you can pull down the notification center, and the notifications will still be grouped by app, but at least they are sorted so the most recent group is on top, then you can scroll down reading the top notifications out of each group until you get "caught up"

Personally I used that "missed" tab more than almost another screen on the phone, I can't believe they eliminated it.
