How to move Android Apps to SD Card

Every time when you install an Android application, it is automatically saved in internal storage of your device. Usually internal storage is smaller but most of the apps are running from here. The storage will be filled with a few apps and then will give ‘Low disk’ warning message.

If you want to install a new app then you need to uninstall another installed application. Furthermore your phone also needs certain space to run apps. Moving the installed applications to an external storage is the best solution to keep the space in the internal storage.  Some applications can be moved to SD card (external storage) but some are not. They must be always run from the internal storage which is mounted and cannot be removed from the device.

Moving an application to SD card is quite simple and easy but you may not aware of it. This tutorial will help you how to do it.

First, tap ‘Settings’ button on your phone or any Android device. Then go to ‘Application > Manage Applications’. It will show what the applications are installed and how much of memory is available in your device.

Tap an application which you want to move to SD card then tap ‘Move to SD Card’. If the ‘Move to SD card’ button is inactive, you are not able to move it into SD card. It means it should be run from the internal storage. If you find ‘Move to phone’ button instead of ‘Move to SD card’, it means the app has been already installed into SD card.
