How to Get Folders Like an iPhone on an Android

Make Your Android Folders Look Like iPhone's Folders

1. Open the Android Market on your phone and search for 'iPhone Style Folders.'

4. Tap your 'Home' button, and then tap 'Menu,' 'Add,' and 'Widget.'

5. Tap 'iPhone Style Folder.' The folder will appear on your home screen.

7. Tap 'Set Folder.' A box appears, letting you change the folder's name. Tap 'Apply' when you are finished.
