Do you know You can create a folder on your ipad? 70% of Ipad users are not aware that Apple’s
iPad
and iPhone 5 that runs on iOS 4.0 or its latest version 6.1 allows you
to create virtual containers for similar applications. With these
containers, you can easily store, organize or categorize each app that
you have downloaded and installed on this device. Many users of this
tablet have waited for this functionality for a very long time. Thanks
to firmware update, they can now add virtual containers. Each container
can hold up to 4400 apps. As mentioned earlier, these containers let you
organize easily this device. This is in contrary to the earlier version
of iOS that left you having apps displayed only on the main menu
screen.
Here are the steps in creating virtual containers on Apple’s tablet:
- Enter into the move state.
You can do this by placing your finger on the icon of a certain app.
Hold the icon down until all icons start to jiggle. You will also notice
that some icons display a black circle that has an X mark right in the
middle.
You need to be in this state so you can move icons to different
places. As long as your finger is on the screen, holding the icon down,
it will move with your finger.
- Drop the icon on top of another icon.
By dropping an icon on top of another icon, the said app is
highlighted and you will notice a dark square. This simply signifies
that you can add a virtual container when you lift your finger. You can
place other icons in the created virtual container by dragging and
dropping them to the said container.
This device will automatically name the container based on the type
of application the icons represent. For instance, if you drag Game 1 and
drop it on top of Game 2, the device will automatically create a
virtual container named “Game.”
- Rename the container if you wish.
If you want to rename Game into Play, you just need to tap the title
area of the container. Then type in a new name, say, Play, using the
on-screen keyboard. As mentioned earlier, this device automatically
assigns a smart name for the created virtual container according to the
functionality of the two icons you have combined.
- Press the Home button.
Once you are done creating virtual containers, you may press the Home button of your device to exit.
After you are done creating containers, you can tap the container’s
icon so you can access the apps you have placed in there. To exit from
the container, you just need to press the Home button.
You will notice that you find it difficult to move an app from one
screen or page to the next in order to add a virtual container. The
reason for this is that the device lets you organize icons on one
screen. To have it in an easier manner, you just need to drag and drop
the icon from its current screen to the screen where you want to create a
virtual container. Once you have placed all icons you want to organize
on one page, you can now pick them up to create a new virtual container
for these icons.
These virtual containers are useful in saving all your apps that you
rarely use. In this way, the number of icons displayed on the screen
pages is significantly reduced. This is especially true if you have more
than 50 apps on your device.
If you wish to remove the virtual container, you just have to tap it.
Then, hold down an app that is in that container until all icons start
to jiggle. When the icons within that container wobble, drag each icon
found in that container to the Home screen.
