Is this in relation to iOS 6 or iOS 7?

As mentioned a number of times, in iOS 7 you can move the Newsstand as you can any other Apple stock app--put in a folder if you want to.

In iOS 6, putting in the folder wasn't officially supported, but there were glitches that allowed you to do it (with some side-effects occasionally if you actually used the Newsstand afterwards), and some other hacks or actual jailbreak tweaks that would do it. None of that really applies to iOS 7.

In neither of the versions can you actually delete it as it's a stock app.

That's really all there's to it.

iOS 5 I believe, it's also available in iOS 6.

Thanks anyway.

Yeah, because there was a bug which allowed for it to be put into a folder and trying to open it while it was in a folder would cause a respring.

In iOS 7, Newsstand is no longer a "folder-style" icon, which opens on the home screen, and IS INTENDED by Apple to be moved into a folder if you want to.

Not sure why this was made into such a huge deal. If you want to move Newsstand into a folder, you can, but it cannot be deleted from the phone just like all of the other built-in apps.
