Here's How You Can Create Nested Folders in iOS 7.1 [Video]

Posted March 21, 2014 at 7:13pm by
Here's a quick trick shared by Videosdebarraquito that lets you create nested folders in iOS 7.1.

Drag one app onto other app and, as soon as the animation for creating a folder starts, tap and drag any folder you want into the new opened folder. If you're quick enough, the chosen folder will go into the new folder!


Take a look at a demo video below!

Why need to do so. It is more to confuse yourself when using or finding an app!

For one thing it's to save space more, and organizing in the same colors makes it easier to find.

Could you then take the one app that's next to the folder and put it into the folder that's inside the folder? And then keep redoing it so that all your apps are in one folder that's in like 10 folders?

Cool hack, yet I constantly work to defeat the tyranny of hierarchical directories using search strings. Still, I get that it can be useful for organizing. Just that it's so much faster to get to an app using a shortcut in Launch Center or by using Spotlight. Know what I mean?

Cool trick! This worked perfectly on my iPad 3, but I can't seem to get it to work on my iPod touch 5th Gen. Both are running 7.1.
