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.
