As of the latest version presented in the keynote this Monday, March 21, with tvOS 9.2, the owners of the fourth generation Apple TV now they can create app folders, just like they would on an iPhone, iPod touch, or iPad. This feature seems indispensable for those whose Home screen on the Apple TV is filled with dozens of application icons.
As in iOS, the way to organize the applications is by pressing and holding one of them so that begin to "stir" and then position said application on top of another to create a folder. The good thing about this is that tvOS provides shortcuts that significantly speed up the creation of folders and other related tasks, such as adding applications, moving them from folders ...
To create a folder of applications in tvOS, we will go to the application we want and keep the touch surface of the Apple remote pressed until the icon starts to shake. Once done, we will press it again to drag it over another application until a folder appears, the key here is to drag the application by moving your finger gently across the touch surface until putting it on top of another and create the folder by clicking again.
As with iOS, every effort is made to choose a folder name automatically based on its content and App Store categories on tvOS. In any case, there is an easier way to create folders, by pressing and holding the Play / Pause button on the remote, a menu will appear and we will select the option «New Folder» where we simply with dragging the applications even she would be enough.
On the other hand, to walk through the name of these folders, simply slide your finger to the position where the name appears, select it by pressing and proceed to rename the folder, although instead of writing we can also write use dictation function To do this, we will achieve this by keeping the Siri button on the remote pressed to start dictating.
Finally, mention another shortcut in which if we hold down the knob to shake the applications and later we press Play / Pause, the pop-up menu will appear again with the option to move the selected application to any existing folder. As you can see, there are different ways of doing the same and we will simply choose the one that is most comfortable for us.
