How To Make Nested Folders iPhone – Folder Inside A Folder

Here is a quick and easy way to put a folder inside of another folder on your iPhone using a glitch in the iPhone software. Using this method you’ll be able to make more room on your home screen!

Here’s How To Do It

First we need to turn off some of the iPhone animations (don’t worry we’ll turn them on later).

1. Go to Settings
2. Tap on General
3. Tap on Accessibility
4. Scroll Down to Reduce Motion
5. Turn Reduce Motion To On

Now go back to your home screen.

Create your two folders. Name one folder “Outer” and the other “Inner”. The Inner folder will go into the Outer folder.

Next follow these steps:

1. Put the outer folder into your dock
2. Hold down on the folder to enter “edit mode” (when all the icons vibrate)
3. Start opening and closing the outer folder by tapping on it a bunch of times, you’ll notice a bit of a delay between opening and closing
4. Just as the outer folder is closing (and before it begins to open again) hold down on the inner folder. If you timed it correctly you should now be able to place it in the outer folder!

To re-enable your iPhone’s fancy animations make sure to turn Reduce Motion off:

1. Go to Settings
2. Tap on General
3. Tap on Accessibility
4. Scroll Down to Reduce Motion
5. Turn Reduce Motion To Off

But be aware: because this takes advantage of an iPhone software flaw your folder will separate when you reboot your iPhone. To nest your folders again just repeat these steps.
