Folder in Folder on iOS 5

NOTE: This is a trick and does not actually allow you to have folders in folders.


Newsstand can be considered a folder, so using this trick, you can put newsstand in a folder

In order to create the look of folder in folders, you will have to go through a very simple process.

1. Make sure you have an iDevice running iOS 5.0 or higher (not tried on iOS 4 devices or lower)
2. Have a folder that you would like to put inside another folder
3. Have two other apps and create a folder with them
4. As soon as you let go of the two apps to make the folder, quickly hold down on the folder that you want to place inside the newly created folder
5. It might take a few tries
6. Now press home

VERY IMPORTANT: If you now try to click on the folder inside a folder your device will reboot, to remove the folder from the folder simply treat it like an app and remove it from the folder and you will be good to go.
