How to move applications to the SD card from the internal memory of the mobile

Applications take up more and more space, so it is quite easy for our Android phone to run out of internal memory to the minimum that we neglect ourselves. We explain how you can move the applications to the microSD memory card in a very simple way, to eliminate the problems of lack of space in the internal memory.

Storage has always been one of the main headaches for Android smartphone users. This is especially common in the case of low-end terminals, and also in some mid-range ones, which have a fairly limited amount of internal memory.

How to move apps to microSD natively on Android

The first versions of the Android operating system were very limited when it came to installing and moving applications to the microSD memory card. Fortunately, Google put the batteries in for a long time, and since Android 6.0, also known as Marshmallow, it is very easy to move applications from the internal memory of the phone, to the microSD memory card.

The first step we need to do to start moving the applications from the smartphone memory to the microSD card is to access the Android settings menu .

Once inside the operating system configuration menu, we need to enter the " Applications " section . There you will find a list with all the applications that you have installed on your terminal.

Choose the application you want to move, then tap on " Change " in the "Storage" section and select " SD Card ." The system will ask you to confirm the operation, and after a few seconds all the data of the application in question will have been moved to the memory card.

Of course you can move the application back to the internal memory of your mobile phone, for this you just have to follow the same steps that we have described in the previous point, although in reverse.

It is necessary to clarify that not all applications can be moved to the microSD memory card, nor do all Android smartphone models allow this option. Some manufacturers of Android devices are responsible for layering this option in their custom ROMs.
