How To Transfer Apps From Samsung To Sd Card

I received a message today from a user who wants to transfer or move his apps, games, and music to his Memory card on an Android device. In the article, I will answer that question and talk about the different ways in which you can move apps to SD card.

Should I move my apps to my MicroSD Card?

While moving large apps to an SD card is reasonable so that you can use the storage on your internal memory for other smaller apps, it is not suitable to move widgets or other core apps to an SD card.

Android developers encourage the app developers to make their apps movable to the SD card if the app is larger than 10 MB. However, since Android provides an open platform to the developers, there is a chance that larger apps may be created in a way that they cannot be moved. It completely depends on the developer and the manner in which the app has been built.

Some of the reasons for developers to not make their apps movable to the SD card is security. They find it easier to keep their apps secure when it is installed on the internal storage of the phone especially when we are talking about paid apps. It is difficult to make these apps secure when they are located on external storage like the SD card which can be easily removed and used on a different device.

Let us find out the ways in which you can move apps to the SD card.

Solution 2: Moving the apps and files to your phone

Your device will allow you to move some of the large apps to the SD card, provided the app developer has built the app with this provision.

  • Head into the Settings menu of your device
  • Scroll down and look for Application Manager. Tap on it.
  • Now tap on the three dots on the top right to open a drop-down menu.
  • Tap on sort by size.
  • Now tap on every app and scroll to look for the button which says Move To SD Card.
  • If this button is greyed out then you are out of luck and the app cannot be moved, but if it is highlighted then you can move the app to your SD card.

Check the apps that you would like to move to the SD card and make space on your device's internal storage.

These are all the ways on how to move apps to MicroSD on an Android device. While the apps may help you tweak your device settings so that you can move apps to the SD card, there is a chance that some of the apps may not work properly if they are moved. It is advised to keep your core apps on the internal storage so that their working is not interrupted. The preferable method to move apps is by using your device to check if the developer allows the app to be moved or not.

However, if you find that you are running out of storage too quickly, then you can use the third-party apps to help you move larger apps to the SD card, but if they do not work then uninstall the app and reinstall it to the device's internal storage once again so that you can enjoy uninterrupted services on that app.
