How to make your folders round (Without Jailbreak)

Round Folders iOS

Every version of a system brings its respective bugs, sometimes these bugs are annoying and cause bugs that worsen the user experience, others are curious and allow the user do things you wouldn't normally be able to do, this time I come to tell you about the second situation.

The well-known YouTube Vdebarraquito (who found how to access personal information through Siri) has found a peculiar way to exploit a bug present in iOS 9.3 and 9.3.1 that allows the user modify the appearance of folders so that these are round and not square, all without any danger, do you want to know how?

The method seems simple and at the same time complex, and is that it is based on a failure when processing a low resolution wallpaper, in doing so, the result is quite unexpected since we not only get the round folders, but the wallpaper acquires a look worthy of a high resolution background, which gives our device a very nice look, in addition to that distinctive touch.

To perform this trick, simply follow the steps that you will see in the following video:

Download the images through this link.

As you can see, the process is very simple, and the only drawback is that you will have to change wallpaper, although it is not much inconvenient either, since on the web we have three pages with single-color or multi-color backgrounds, for all tastes.

To download the images we just have to hold down on them until we see the option to save them on our reel, and once there we must set them as wallpaper (without perspective) on our home screen.

It should be noted that the folders located in the first line of icons on each page of the springboard (desktop) will not be affected, that is, the first application icons of each page will continue to maintain their appearance of square folders, the rest of the folders will become round, although only in their thumbnail, since once we click on them they will open normally.

This bug is not dangerous, nor is it lost by restarting the system or anything like that, the only requirement is to keep the wallpaper downloaded from that website, and if we want to reverse the process, we will only have to change the wallpaper to a normal one.

If some of you want to check if this bug is present in versions prior to 9.3 or in the new ones 9.3.2 betas, You are free to do so and by the way, leave us your experience in the comments 😀

    It is completely impossible to see the video on iPhone, or MacBook ...
    Why don't you put a normal embed on YouTube?

      I don't know how you do it but I get a video perfectly on YouTube.
      Every time he asks me if I want to open this video in YouTube app.
      Do some research on your iPhone and you will see that it works.
      And if you can't find it, give it a few taps in the lower right corner of the video 😉
