how to "Folderize" Messages and Voicemail apps?

[smontanaro]

Normally I drag an app onto another app to create a folder containing the two apps. Why doesn't thus work for the voicemail and messages apps? Thx...

Just tried it and works for me just fine.

Add the app shortcut not the widget.

I eventually got it to work by creating a folder containing the Messages app and another app. I was then able to drag the Voicemail app into the folder and delete the third "crutch" app. It was Voicemail that was the culprit apparently. (BTW, why do I even need that app on Sprint? I never used to. Can't I continue to use the "1" shortcut?)

One comment said to use the shortcut, not the app. As far as I can tell from the feedback I get when installing apps, all the icons shown on the home screens are shortcuts. I'm not sure how I would tell the difference.

Thanks for the responses. I have a skosh more space on my main home screen now.
