Hello I have problem of storage I want to know how I install my app in external storage I searched everywhere in my phone but I can't get the option realted to it.please help me fast.....
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.
