How to Create Custom Folders in the Shortcuts App

Fortunately, it's a quick and easy process that barely takes a minute. Here's what you need to do to create custom folders:

3. Select the blue folder icon in the top-right corner of your screen.
4. Enter your desired name and choose an icon for your folder. Then, tap Add.

Your new folder will appear under Folders. An example of a folder you can create can be "Shortcuts for iPhone," which includes shortcuts to improve your iPhone experience.

How to Add Shortcuts to Folders
