Windows Phone 8.1: Create folder on homescreen

In Windows Phone 8.1 you can create folders on the home screen. This is very simple and brings more clarity to your home screen.

Create folders on the homescreen

Creating folders works similarly to moving tiles:

1. Use your finger to tap and hold the tile that you want to move to a folder until all the tiles get smaller. You are now in the familiar editing mode.
2. Drag the tile you want to move onto another tile. Wait a moment and then let go to create a folder with these two tiles.
3. If you already have a folder, you can simply drag a tile onto the folder to add it to that folder.
4. In edit mode, tap the folder name to change it.
