  The same problem for me too, very low experiencing on Nokia 5 because of very low storage space, even i have merged my 8GB SD Card but still i have low storage space, i think this is Android 8.1 issue because the software takes more than 7.6 GB space before i was running in Android 7.1.2 there was much free space.

  When you mount your sd card at first time. It asked for do u want it to use as internal storage or external storage. If you pick for "internal  use"  ur application also installed on sd card, but if u pick external u can use it for only photos, music etc.. 
  
  If you want to format it as internal storage go storage setting, tap sd card then tap 3 dots @ right corner then storage setting and tap "format as internal" after that u will see that your storage capacity extended but all data on sd card will be lost! after formatting.
  
  BUT I DON'T recommend to format it as internal coz sd card are slower then phone's disk, so you will lose performance, but its up to you.

  You'll need a good quality microSD card in this regard.
  
  

  • At first format the SD card as internal storage.
  • Then you can get the option to move some apps to external storage. The change option will be available at app info>storage.

  You can move only some of your apps to external storage, because most of the apps won't have this option. For example, In my case, I can move Microsoft Power Point to external storage, but there is no option to move Microsoft Word to external storage.
