In this tutorial, I will be demonstrating how you can force apps to be moved from your phone storage to your SD card on android phones even when they do not initially provide you the option to change storage. Obviously, this strategy is mostly for freeing up storage space on your phone by moving some apps from the phone storage to the SD card or vice versa.

This could also help with problems like a phone being unusually slow or freezing from time to time or crashing apps. These procedures are equally applicable even if you’re not getting any storage space warnings yet.

Please note that this process is in a way forcing the android system to allow an operation it would normally not allow. So is advisable to use it sparingly. As a general rule, is always advisable to back up your files and data before performing such operations.

i already do this but i can't see the "change" when i open my app's storage 😔

[Timmerdetimmerdetim]

This worked for me for a number of apps with minor storage space.
Got my app storage down from 6, 7 to 6, 4 gb. Not much but well worth the effort, thanks!

[KMalak]

This process didn't work for me on any apps on my phone. However, I thank you for the information. I will keep this in mind for future use.

[ayobamianna]

What do you do when the option to turn on force allow apps on external isn't granted?

[neikoboi]

On Point! Thanks! Worked exactly as you demonstrated. I was so frustrated that the newer phones didn't give me the option to move apps that were eating up my internal storage.

As an ex IT Trainer of many years albeit never mobile phones, it makes a nice change on here to find a YouTuber who knows their stuff and explains instructions very well but was hoping that you would show the form, location, folder structure, hidden or not of 'what' is actually being moved and is it totally moved (which I doubt). I will be honest and have in the past done as you instructed but my lack of Android OS can never make head or tail of what I have moved. Is it to do with the make of phone, which I suspect is the case.

My first time watching one of your videos. I subscribed and can only say after many years of watching other tutorial videos on different subjects you explain things in such detail that even an amateur tech wannabe like myself can easily follow. Please keep posting. 👍

[bobgemmel]

Thank you!! I was getting sick of running out of internal storage space and not being able to move apps over to a 60 gig SD card. Came across your video and it works!

[VulpineCortex]

Really useful since even as a long time & tech savvy user I was unaware you could force this behavior. (also forgetting about the existence of dev options didn't help either)

[Closemusic]

When I tapped build number seven times it said "no need, you're already a developer." But when I tried to turn on the option to let apps move, it didn't let me??

[ajolly]

I cannot thank you enough for your videos. Your knowledge has saved me money and SANITY! Never stop! The act of watching your videos, taking notes & then applying has blessed me beyond measure. THANK YOU!!!

[Remainders]

I have been looking for this FOR SO LONG
THANK YOU

[zelectrode]

I did everything perfectly, but for some reason, the option to move the app from internal storage to external storage doesn't appear

[SPrime]

When I try to move any app that is not the default app on my Galaxy Tab A7 Lite it keeps saying not enough storage even though I have enough, I just bought a 128 GB micro SD card yesterday and it says the same with any other SD card

[Rayyvyn]

It worked for a cpl apps, but a bunch of apps just have NOTHING under storage, no choice options at all for storage..not even one of those frustrating unchooseable greyed out boxes. Can anything be done about those?

Also, i'd deleted the data on some bloatware apps where the most I could do, even after rooting, was disable, not delete them, to free up some space, but it only works temporarily, in a few hours the data is back. Can anything be done to stop it doing that?

[DavidGS]

How about simply have Google Play Store allow us to only search for apps that go on SD card or give us an external list of such apps.

[marac]

I have a Samsung A52s. Android 14, OneUI 6.1. This works perfectly. Thank you boss! You just got a new subscriber. Keep it up. Greetings from Croatia!

[lohikarhu]

many thanks...i have many apps that are useful, and almost indenspible in certain situations, so having the option of keeping them in hand, but out of the way, is *great!*

[mariametko]

This didn't work on my Revvl 6 pro android. And none of tge other measures did either.

In my app that moves to sd card on my old phone tells me that this revvl pro is a problem google made on it. Google never replied when I sent an email.

Do you know how I can get around it to move my game apos to sd card ?

[HiNickCares]

Thanks, this is the first video that has actually helped me.
