Installing apps in th SD card

If I don't find a way for installing my apps in SD card. I'll have to throw this phone to the garbage bin ;( I've tried on the settings option under space and there is no possibility to install the card as a default setting place. Does anyone have please an idea how to solve this? Thanks a lot

Hi @CarlosBo,


Welcome to the community.


The ability to move data to the SD card is something that is added by the developer of the application, so not all apps can be moved.


To move an app to the SD card:

(Lollipop 5.x.x) Go to Settings > Apps > Tap on the app you wish to move > Move to SD

(Marshmallow 6.x.x) Go to Settings > Apps > Tap on the app you wish to move > Storage > Change > SD Card.

@Dragon1

you can move some apps to the SD card but you can not install apps on the SD card.

Only that moving app to SD card doesn't exactly work.

Small applications - OK.

Skype - 97 MB - no way.

I have 1GB free RAM, 1.5 RB free internal memory, and when I try to move 97MB Skype onto SD card, after some time I get a message that there is Not enough storage space.

On a SD card with 130 MB used of 28.90 GB.

Usability +50 on a device with so much RAM available. If I knew that, I'd buy other waterproof smartphone, also from a company whose name starts with S.
