The introduction of the App Library in iOS 14 made Home Screen folders a moot point for many iPhone users. Still, some continue to use folders to organize app icons on the Home Screen, even in a post-App Library world.
Recognizing that this niche still exists, iOS developer Sirius24 released a new jailbreak tweak dubbed FolderPlus to provide users with a substantial amount of folder-centric customization that simply can’t be achieved on stock handsets.
As you’ll see in some of the screenshot examples above, FolderPlus makes a lot of different things possible, including borders, colors, gradients, icon styles, layouts, sizes, and more.
Once installed, users will find a new preference pane in the Settings app where they can get their hands dirty with different personalization options pertaining to their Home Screen folders:
Options here include:
- Enabling or disabling FolderPlus on demand
- Enabling custom folder colors:
- Choosing a custom folder color

As you might have noticed, FolderPlus doesn’t leave any stones unturned with regard to providing the ultimate folder customization experience. The tweak is both comprehensive and powerful, putting users directly behind the wheel so they can drive their cosmetics in any direction they’d like.
