This is what the lock screen shows when pressing the power button from an off screen when the "slide" option of lock screen is activated.

Obviously, it bypasses the "What's Next" widget in the lock screen. My question is, is this normal or by design? I was hoping it would be like it would show the lock screen first and then swipe somewhere to enter pattern/pin/password to unlock. But here, it just goes straight to the unlocking already. I wanna be able to see the "What's Next" widget in the lock screen first while still having the protection of a pattern/pin/password. :(
