Does ne1 know how to move apps to and from sd card? The phone I'm using is a Huawei mate 9 running Android Nougat 7.0.
There are several apps in playstore like 'file to sd' or simular.
They seems capable of doing the job but personally I think that it is unnecessary because of de decent amount of memory available on the mate 9.

From Settings go to "Memory & Storage" , change the Default location to SD Card !
I have changed the default location to SD Card. Even then my mate 9 is installing apps in internal storage.
More over its not giving an option to move the apps to SD card on internal storage.
Sd card apps mate 9
No way possible to put apps on sd card on Huawei mate 9 I did look everywhere and finally went to the source called Huawei and they said no, due to privacy reasons, but there is a setting option on the settings on the mate 9 in developer setting to do so I tried that and nope still didn't work, kinda crazy Huawei doesn't allow this but other androids do factory unlocked... if you find a root let's us know..
Why ? Mate 9 has large internal memory and no need to transfer to SD card.
Why move them? Because it helps keep internal storage free for large video files, more pics, etc... If your bootloader is unlocked and you are rooted, you can run Titanium Backup from the play store and it has a batch function to move apps and data to the SD card. I have the Honor 5x which only has 16gb of internal storage. This is how I move all my apps to the SD card. If your BL is not unlocked and you are not rooted, have a poke around the play store, there are plenty of apps to move stuff

I love my new Moto G LTE but ....
I cannot move apps to the SD card, the option is "greyed out" for apps i am sure they are movable (on other Moto G LTE's)
It is possible to write and read from the SD card (with e.g. ES File Explorer) but when i try to move apps marked as "movable" the option is not possible.
It wasn't working on the original 4.4.3 and now on the original 4.4.4 also not, my device is not (yet) rooted.
Another new formatted SD card gives the same problem, what can i do?
Nobody??
Did you format cards on a Pc as Fat32 and then again on the phone itself?

Yes, I formatted the SD cards (three different types now) twice. It is verry strange the cards can be written by an app like ES File Explorer but the standard Android option "Move to SD" is greyed out!
What can be the reason?
Hey all,
Does the Z3 support installing every app fully to the SD card? I ask because 16gb seems a bit limiting if you can't fully use the SD card.
I just came here to ask the same question. In Kitkat 4.4.4 (and maybe other versions?) the 'Move to SD' is disabled/not there and it is up to the phone manufacturer to enable/add it. There is no option in settings on the Z3 to move app data to your SD card. It is very easy to enable apps to be able to use the SD card, either manually or using an app such as SDFix (but you will need to be rooted).
Here are some questions I would like answered if anyone knows:
There are folders on the SD card for most apps in /Android/data/ for example, 'com.microsoft.skydrive'. That same folder is also in the same place (/Android/data/) on the phones memory and contains data for the app. Can that just be moved with a file explorer to the SD card? If so are there any other steps to take?
Is there an app to automate moving data or a way to add the button in settings, apps?
Cheers
Wait till 5 ! It's was disabled is kk
You can use FolderMount to transfer game data to external storage (sdcard)
I use it and it is really essential to me
installed 4 big games
Is this still possible? If so, how do I do this? Preferably solutions without routing but any solution is welcome
For context I'm running Android Nougat (7.0) and this issue is regarding my Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge. As you're probably aware, the S6 doesn't have an SD card slot so I have to attach an adapter to use an SD card. This means that setting the SD card as internal storage would be a problem since I can't keep the adapter attached all the time, and if I unplug it part of my phones functionality would be affected, since it'll be formatted so my phone always expects it to be present (unless I'm mistaken). This also means that the solution of splitting the SD card into part portable and part internal wouldn't work either.
If you're wondering why I need an SD card its because I've run out of room for apps, I currently have no photos or music that isn't in the cloud so cleaning my phone out to make room isn't much of an option either.
If you need anything clarifying, just ask.
Moving apps to external SD Card
Google took a step backwards with this in the new update. Here's how you move apps from internal storage to your micro sd card:
1. Go to settings/applications/app manager and select an app you wish to move.
2. Select "Storage." Notice that the current storage location is provided. If the app is able to be moved to your micro sd card, there will be a "Change" option. If the app cannot be moved, thus field will not appear.
3. Change the location from Internal to SD Card.
4. Tap on "Move."
I have no idea why Google made this change, because it added more steps to this process than necessary, not to mention that it's a little harder to find on your own.

Thanks!!! Sorry just to confirm I don't have to have my SD card formatted as internal storage to do this right?

No, he described the normal "move to SD card" method, not the adoptable storage method, I think?

But on my phone, Android 7.0, there is not "Change" or "Move to SD Card" option for any installed apps.

I doubted it would have it, nougat should have the adoptable storage option, not the "move to SD" option. That doesn't do you any good.
I'm not sure that you can even do what you're trying to do without leaving the sd inserted.

As far as I know, in newer android versions you can only move apps to adoptable storage.
What you want might be possible with root and a dedicated App2SD app. Without root this is not possible.

If you do what was suggested above, you won't be able to remove the sd card because the device won't function properly with it removed. You'll get an endless chain of FC's(app has stopped working) that will make your device uncontrollable because it keeps popping up with FC notifications. You won't be able to navigate the device because the notifications will continously pop up one after the other.

While this is true, I think it should work for apps that don't start automatically. As long as the particular app isn't used it won't bother, I guess.

Yes, depending on the app. Then again, Google play services update checks for the installed apps might get a little screwy when the card is removed. Only one way to find out, try and hope it works.

I was wondering if anyone has been able to mount their SD card as internal (adoptable) storage on 7.0 (Nougat) and moved WhatsApp so the media folder is on the SD card?
I want to do this cause the S7 only has 32 GB of internal storage and I get so many pictures/videos in WhatsApp that every day I have to delete media off the internal storage.
I tried that developer mode option to allow all apps to move to SD and that let me move the WhatsApp app to SD but it kept the media folder on the internal storage.

Found a solution myself
Another alternative to consider is an Xposed module called XInternalSD. Provided your S7 has root access and you've flashed the latest unofficial Xposed Framework compatible with Nougat, you'll be able to install apps like WhatsApp onto your SD card with ease, as well as store the .obb files of games. However, at the present time having Xposed Framework installed means that your phone will not pass Google SafetyNet, thus you'll lose access to Android Pay and the ability to download certain apps from the Play Store e.g. Super Mario Run & Fire Emblem Heroes. Magisk is currently unable to hide the presence of Xposed.

Maybe because your phone doesn't have a sd card u need a sd card for the phone
Not all phones have a sd card
If you're phone doesn't support for a sd card than it's just not possible

Well most apps really can't be moved to external SD-card. Only a few can.
BTW:
The mentioned Link2SD app - as it name implies - simply creates in Android OS's file tree links ( read: shortcut in Windows OS terminology ) to apps / their data what are located on external SD-card. This only will work if the external SD-card has two partitions (at least): one partition works as a regular external storage on SD-card, for pictures, music, etc.pp, the second partition ( must be ext4 formatted ) would work as the "extended real memory" or, the virtual memory, where "externally installed apps" are housed.
Since Android 6 this technique is part of Android OS: it's called Adoptable Storage.
