Why can't I add a sub-folder to a pop-up?

We feel like introducing nested pop-ups is counter-intuitive and doesn't align with our principle of simplicity and ease of use. For one, when navigating through two or more pop-ups to access an app, it's already questionable whether opening the app using the search or some other means might be faster and easier. Nested pop-ups would introduce a lot of design questions as well as consistency issues. For example, it might be confusing when a user can swipe right to expand a pop-up or clear notification.

How to rename a pop-up folder?

Long-press on the folder and tap on its name in the sheet that slides up.
