[How To] Add Fancy Symbols To iOS 4 Folder Names

Folders are one of the major new features introduced in iOS 4 and they help you keep the apps organized and reduce the clutter on your iPhone's home screen. It's pretty neat how the folder is automatically assigned a name based on the iPhone apps inside it. If that isn't good enough for some of you folks, the people over at iPhone J.D have figured out a way to assign fancy symbols to a folder name using Glyphboard. Glyphboard is an iPhone web app developed by Neven Mrgan and it includes 48 fancy symbols that can be copied and pasted anywhere, including folder names.

How To Add Fancy Symbols To iOS 4 Folder Names:

• All you need to do is, point your iPhone’s Safari browser to http://mrgan.com/gb/ to launch the Glyphboard web app.

• Then tap on the + button and choose Add to Home Screen.


• Exit iPhone Safari and tap on the Glyphboard on your iPhone’s home screen.


• To select one of the 48 fancy symbols , tap and hold on a symbol to select and then tap on the Copy button.


• If you want to create a folder with multiple symbols then you can use the scratchboard at the top to copy multiple symbols.


• You can then use the symbols copied to iPhone’s clipboard to assign it to folder names by pasting it.
