Creating folders on your Android device can help you organize your apps and files more efficiently. Whether you want to group similar apps together or tidy up your home screen, making a folder is a simple and effective solution. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the steps to create a folder on Android.
Step 1: Unlock Your Device
First, unlock your Android device by pressing the power button or using your fingerprint or PIN.

To create a folder, you need to find the app or file that you want to add to it. This can be done by scrolling through your home screen or accessing the app drawer.

Note:
- List Item 1: It is important to note that not all Android devices have the same interface. Some devices may automatically create a folder when two apps are dragged together, while others may require manual creation.
- List Item 2: If your device does not automatically create a folder, continue to follow these steps.
Step 5: Drop and Name Your Folder
