How To Put Newsstand In A Folder

FYI, if you use this trick make sure you don't try to open the newsstand folder from within the parent folder. It will crash your iPhone.*




* Yes, I was curious to see what would happen.

Thanks, I forgot to add that :rolleyes:
 
its on the right side.. but not sure if everyone sees it, so this thread will definitely get more people to do it. it works great!
 
So why not just get a few magazines and use it? It is just a special folder after all. And magazines are one of the great uses for the iPad. Just sayin.....

I did it! And best yet, you can't even see it in there when the folder is closed! I hope Apple doesn't "fix" this.

I think you just answered your own question ("for your iPad"). Why would I want to use this crap on my iPhone?

Oh now I see it, I never really pay attention to that side :p
 
I've also found out that I can still access my NYTimes app (which had the unfortunate fate of being forced into Newsstand) by searching for it. However searching for Newsstand doesn't return any results. Out of sight, out of mind.
 
As stated before by others, i tried folder with a folder, etc

MacRumors have been a portal to some great information in the past.
But this is the absolute best thing I have ever found on here.

I will probably use Newsstand on my iPad in a few weeks when enough apps have been updated to support it, but creating folders within folders within folders is the most fun I have had in a long time with the Home Screen ^^:D
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
For the record though, I created a folder within a folder within a folder and tried to open it, made it crash and the app that was at the bottom of that mess disappeared. No great loss but just a warning.
 
Were folders within folders possible in iOS 4? (I don't remember hearing about it.)

This seems like a new bug that somehow found its way into iOS 5.
 
Apparently they were, just nobody said said anything about it. Nice job apple. Makes you wonder what other secrets are still out there in the iPhone --> eastereggs right?
 
Awsome, thank you so much. I really get annoyed when Apple force you to look at apps you don't use. Next stop delete Apple apps you don't use :)
 
Folder-in-folder is not supported so please someone log a bug at https://bugreport.apple.com and I guess log a separate bug for the newsstand-in-folder crashing issue. Whoever found the bugs first.

If you do a cloud backup directly from the iOS device it saves the organization of apps, including folders. I dare someone to do a cloud backup of their iOS device with a folder in a folder and then do a cloud restore after wiping it. If anyone tries it let me know.

CodeJingle's right, downvoters. Putting your iPhone in a state that's permanently a single function call away from a crash is asking for trouble. The crash means Apple coders didn't anticipate phones getting into this state. So next time your phone does automatic housekeeping with the over the air updates how do you know it won't crash mid install?
