The Coding Massacre has discovered a trick to force the iOS 5 Newsstand into a folder. The only reason to do this is to tuck Newsstand away and hide it -- users who have performed this trick discovered that opening Newsstand when its in a folder crashes Springboard, the main home screen on the iPhone.
"Simply follow these steps:
- Take two apps and go to create a folder
- The second the apps are in the folder and it’s doing the folder creation animation, drag Newsstand into the folder
- As long as you’re quick enough Newsstand will go into the folder!"

If you wish to use Newsstand at some point, simply remove it from the folder and place it back on the main level.

ReplyDeleteI didn't know that. Sorry to hear this. I haven't installed yet iOS 5 on my devices. I updated yesterday my iPad and it automatically updated to 4.3.5. I will try this on my iPhone and see if I will do it. Hope to hear better news. Regards
