A new trick was posted by a YouTube videographer that might have some of our members pretty excited. If you are one of the folks who don't really like many of Apple's preinstalled "default" apps, then you will want to check out this video (which we included in the thread below).

While many of the default apps are widely used and very useful, that doesn't mean that all of you like all of them all of the time. That makes this little trick pretty handy. Here's a breakdown of how it works:
  1. Create a new folder or open one you already created
  2. Move any apps that you want to hide into that specific folder
  3. Then, touch and hold any icon until they all begin to wiggle so that you can rearrange them
  4. After that, drag any app in the folder to the right, beyond the last tab in the folder
  5. Finally, while you are still holding the app icon, just press the home button
After these steps, the app icon will vanish, and you won't have at them again (until the next time you have to reboot your iPhone). Very handy!
 
Here's that video demoing this process:
