2. Then drag the pressed app to a second app and release it again to create a new folder and place both apps in it.
3. If you would like to give the newly created folder a name, please tap it and select "Untitled Folder" to enter a new name.
4. To add more apps to the folder, simply drag them from the home screen or app tray onto the folder.
