Hide iOS5 Newsstand Icon on the iPhone

Hide iOS5 Newsstand Icon on the iPhone

Many people, myself included, were annoyed that you aren't able to put the new Newsstand Icon in a folder. Well a quick little hack I found today lets you do just that! Turns out you can trick iOS5 by creating a folder with other icons and then quickly drag it into that folder.

This doesn't require you to jail break, but it does take a quick finger! Watch this video to see how to do it:

Note

This should only be done if you are no using newsstand. Trying to launch newsstand from within a folder crashes springboard!

Cool eh? Follow me on Twitter for more like this :)
