Previous Next Sort by votes. Jamerson23 Estimable. May 5, 3 0 4, 0. A couple of months ago, I decided to get a 16gb SD card due to low internal storage. If I were to download an app, there is a "Move to SD card" button, but when I press on it, all the data is still in the internal storage, and the amount of data that's on the SD card is 0.

However, a few apps work with the card ex. Messenger works completely fine, along with a few small games. I've been trying to get a game but while I'm able to download it, I can't fit all the data from my account, and it's driving me nuts! Titillating Dignified. Aug 18, 2, 12 13, Unfortunately, this function is dependent on the Android software, and not your phone. It was removed a while ago and just never added back.

Without rooting, I think you can move apps over to an extent but the core app files remain on your internal storage. From my experience, it's required a rooted device to transfer your apps to your SD card and still have them be functional, but perhaps there are new apps that are able to do this without root access—I'm a little behind on these things. You will need to root your device first. Titillating :. Aug 30, 1 0 4, 0. I am looking at getting the same phone model because my aging LG Optimus L9 seems to be failing.

My LG used to not allow moving apps either and I had to root it. You still can't move apps but you will be able to link it to your sd. Good luck!

To do this, tap the menu button three vertical dots in the upper-right corner of the screen. Make sure the first three check boxes are all selected. So, data files for apps installed on the SD card will still be stored on the internal storage. Use the back arrows at the top of each screen in Link2SD to go back to the previous screen. You can also use the back button on your device. Any files you transferred from your PC to the SD card are on that partition.

Word is also taking up a total of MB of space on the internal storage. However, we can get beyond that limitation. We open Link2SD and scroll in the list of apps until we get to Word and tap on it. Notice the white box being called out on the image below. That indicates how much space is being used by the app on the internal storage. The orange box below that shows the amount of space the app is using on the SD card. We want to move as much as we can of that MB to the SD card as possible.

It just seems to be there as a convenience for apps that can normally be moved to the SD card, so you can use Link2SD as a general app manager. Leave the first three file types selected. Notice that To illustrate an app being installed directly to the SD card, I installed a simple Notepad app from the Play Store and it was installed on the SD card, bypassing the internal storage, as shown below. If you remove the device, any apps you moved to the SD card will not be usable without the SD card.

This may seem like a complicated process, but if you have an Android device with limited internal storage and has an SD card slot like we do, it can be a life saver. Buying a microSD card with a decent amount of storage is a lot cheaper than buying a new device. Browse All iPhone Articles Browse All Mac Articles Do I need one?
