Continuing to keep pressed, drag the application onto the icon of another app that you intend to include in the same folder, then release the grip and the folder will be immediately created.
If you want, you can assign it a name at will by filling in the appropriate field at the top of the screen displayed. You can also change the colour folder icon (transparent coloring is set by default).

Subsequently, regardless of the system adopted for the selection, after pressing the button with i three dots vertically located at the top of the screen, select the item Move from the menu that opens and, through the new screen displayed, reach the position relative to the folder and tap on the item Done.
