I haven't installed windows phone 8.1 developer's preview yet and waiting for the official release but can anyone tell me if we're getting an app folder or not..? I downloaded a free app folder manager on windows store and it sucked cause I was limited to what apps I can put in there..

This link says we are getting an app folder if its true I would be one happy camper...

This app has already been released! I think it's simply called "Folder" try searching for that
 
If you're referring to organizing your apps into folders, it's not part of the preview and I doubt it'll be there on the official release.
 
Lol that is a different app for a totally different experience :) That one allows you to create a folder in which to place similar apps :) kind of an iphone experience

Here is a screenshot of the app folder I am using in WP 8 that allows me to put it in my start screen tiles...Is this what u are talking about..?

iOS and Android have the same app folder system. It's not a folder app at all. It's simply dragging & dropping one shortcut on top of another one.

Kay thanks for the explanation.. I wouldn't really know as I have only worked with it on my girlfriends phone (5s).. It does seem handy tho especially for grouping apps that are similar to each other.. I know there is an app in the store that gives us the ability to do this and add transparent tiles at the same time, but i haven't gotten around to testing it yet
 
The Nokia now Microsoft app of app folder is avail on 8.1 but it was announced that native folders would be introduced soon.
 
Yea "soon" :P in MS time? lol i'm hoping with cyan tho
Sorry friend, but cyan has already been delivered to many phones. Folder 📁 support may come in another update. May be with that lock screen app or in GDR1.

People need to stop taking for granted that users own a Nokia phone. If this user was a newcomer and was using an HTC or Samsung, he'd be confused. :)

LMAO thanks for that :P I automatically assume that people are using a Lumia lol, but to be honest if he was confused he could just ask us what we're talking about :)
