I can't seem to find it again, but I saw a video where a user with a Galaxy phone on UI 8 had app folders inside of app folders. The video wasn't on this subject but noticed the app folders inside of app folders. They had a productivity apps folder and then inside that they had Office, Google, and a third folder for a different set of document/sheets apps.

I've been trying to do this myself and I can't find out how to do it nor have I had any luck. Is there a trick to this I'm just not getting?

Nested folders isn't a native feature of One UI Home. They may have been using a third party app similar to this to achieve nested folders.

Maybe? But the previews don't look like what I recall seeing. I wish I could find that video so I could re watch it and screen grab.

If you were using YouTube, you should be able to locate recently watched videos by going to Library > History.

There are a number of third party folder widget apps. It could be any of them. Here's another option.

This doesn't offer nested folders, but you can do app groups within a large folder.

Yes. I've been going through my watch history. It's either gone or I wasn't logged in.
