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.

Apparently it isn't possible on Nougat.

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.

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

Hello. I had a Note 4 (with Android 5.1.1) and my SD card worked well. In my S7, this card is read-only, which is quite annoying for Titanium Backup. I tested with 2 others cards, formatted by the S7 in exFat, and the issue is still there. Am i the only one ? Is there any software solution like SD Fix for Android 4 ?
Thanks.

From my understanding, The app being used should be updated by the developer to be able to use the android feature to ask for permission to access SD card for editing, deleting. Incase the app has not been uodated by the developer it will fail to access the sd card for writing. Once a new app is installed and run, it shall ask for permission to access, which should be granted. Atleast this is what has happened with me, but the apps which are not updated since few months back are not able to access the sd card.

I have nethunter room(Kali Linux for Android) installed in my Android 6.0
My internal storage is 4.7 GB. I have a SD card of 16 GB.
My problem is 4.7 GB is too low I cant install more packages.
Kali nethunter system is located in /data/local/nhsystem.
I am looking for a way to move nhsystem in my external SD card directly or by formatting it as internal storage (and of course use it).
Another thing I have noticed that my internal storage is also located somewhere inside nhsystem if I directly delete nhsystem with root browser, my internal storage is gone.
Request help for moving Kali Nethunter system (nhsystem) to SD card
Hi bro
I've got the same problem with my samsung glalxy a3 (2017) SM-a320fl. I search on the Net for fix this problem but i nothing found.
The problem is the way to change the links about the app, i think. The apk must be installed on SD card (2° partition, ext2/3/4) immediatly, and then move the data, i believe. Finally must move the remaining files, of course.
I still have to find a solution. ((
I kindly wanted to ask you if you were able to solve this problem, because I have not succeeded so far.
You did?
Thanks.

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.
