How do I create a folder using Android 5.0.1?

[AC Question]

My Samsung Galaxy S4 Active just updated to Android 5.0.1 and some of my widgets are gone, and I can't figure out how to create folders.

Welcome to Android Central! Are you trying to create a folder on the homescreen or in the App Drawer? If you're trying to create a folder on the homescreen, long-press any app shortcut icon, then drag it to the New Folder area at the top of the screen. Name the folder, and it will appear. Now you can move any other shortcut into that folder.

You can create a folder by long tapping the home screen or pressing the menu button on your phone if you have one.

I have a new device Samsung S6 with Lollipop 5.1.1. However I haven't been able to setup folders in my home screen. Please help.

for 5.1 on the homescreen if i drag one icon over another it creates a folder containing them.

My icons snap to grid. The Icon I move just switches places. Can not drop on top. The Icon just moves out of the way.
