It appears that I cannot move the Newsstand app into a folder, which is inconvenient for me because I will rarely use it. Is there something that I am missing, or does it really have to be on its own outside of a folder?
iPhone 4, iOS 4.3.3
Same problem here. I won't use it so would prefer to delete it (like iBooks) but can't even move it into another folder with the other bloat-ware installed
Apparently Newsstand is classed as a Folder and as such cannot be moved into other folders. It apparently can be used to group all apps that are designed to work with Newsstands.
Basically it would appear that Apple are forcing this annoying waste of space on us in an effort to persuade people to take out lots of subscriptions.
I posted the exact same problem. https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3376022?answerId=16338444022#16338444022
Perhaps if Apple hears from enough folks that don't want this app forced on them using Apple Feedback, http://www.apple.com/feedback, they will listen and we could have a patch in the next software release?
Agreed!
I still want the ability to "hide" the Apple Apps that I don't use/need.
I hate that you can't move the newsstand app. It's bad enough Apple won't let us choose if we want the app, so at least let us put it in a folder called LAME.... 🙂
I created a folder "nobody needs this" on my last page, and put all default apps that I don't need into it. Since that can't be done with newsstand, it is sitting right next to that folder 😉
There is a way:
Be very quick about it!
Seriously? This sounds like one of those "How to keep an idiot busy for hours" jokes.
I figured it was worth a try, but that actually works (after a few tries). The icon doesn't appear in the folder preview, but it's there when I open the folder. More of a quirky workaround than anything else, but it gets the job done.
100% confirmed, just try it, thank me later =)
Yes, you can put it in a folder that way, but if you subsequently try to lay nah newsstand, it will reboot my phone everything time. Fail....
Awesome, I didn't think this worked but in all honesty it does. Just have to try it a few times.
OMG... it totally works. It's just a little tricky. Thanks!
Yeah, it is annoying. I've since moved the newsstand folder to the last page of apps which is too bad for the NYTimes app as it used to be in a News folder on the first page of iPhone apps. Given I rarely go to the last page of apps it looks like I'll be reading it less.
Can Newsstand be moved into a folder?
