How-To: Create and use app folders on Apple TV with tvOS 9.2 [Video]


The ability to create folders on the Home screen Apple TV is one of the biggest new features to appear in the last TVOS 9.2 update. In previous versions of TV applications can not be organized into folders, which made for an uncomfortable experience for those with a lot of applications.

If you are a user of iOS, then using folders on the Apple TV will largely be a family experience. In this post, we'll show you how to create folders, move applications in and out of folders, rename folders, and more.

How to create a new folder on tvOS 9.2

There are basically two ways to create folders on the Apple TV TVOS running 9.2 or higher. The first form is similar to the method that users of iPhone and iPad used to create folders, although there are some differences.

Step 1: Select an application icon you want to move to a folder.

Step 2: Hold the touch pad remote Siri until the edit mode is activated. You'll notice the application icon start to wiggle.

Step 3: Use the touch pad remote Siri to move the application icon on top of another application icon. You have to select an application you want to occupy the same folder.

Step 4: Once created the folder is named automatically based on the content dela folder. You can rename the folder out of the editing mode (by pressing the touch pad) and slide to the folder name using the keyboard. Siri Dictation can be used for folder names as well.

Step 5: After editing the folder name, press the Menu button or slide down on the remote control Siri to return to the folder view.

To move more than one application in a folder, simply repeat steps 2 and 3, but instead of moving an application icon on top of another application icon, move an application icon at the top of a folder .
