How to set SD card as default storage for Play Store?

Tips before you follow the steps below: It is important to note that not all apps can be moved to the SD card. Some apps, such as system apps and apps that require access to certain features of the phone, must be stored on the phone’s internal storage. Additionally, moving apps to the SD card can sometimes cause performance issues. In generally, most of the modern smartphones won’t cause issue while setting external storage as default storage for Play Store.

There are two ways to make the SD card the default storage for the Play Store:

1. Format the SD card as internal storage. This will erase all data on the SD card, so be sure to back it up first. To do this, follow these steps:
   1. Open the Settings app.
   2. Tap Storage.
   3. Tap the SD card.
   4. Tap the three dots in the top right corner.
   5. Tap Storage settings.
   6. Tap Format as internal.
   7. Tap FORMAT SD CARD.
   8. Tap Move content.
   9. Tap Done.

Once the SD card has been formatted as internal storage, the Play Store will automatically install new apps to the SD card.

2. Move individual apps to the SD card. This option is only available for apps that are designed to be moved to the SD card. To move an app to the SD card, follow these steps:
   1. Open the Settings app.
   2. Tap Apps.
   3. Tap the app you want to move.
   4. Tap Storage.
   5. Tap Move to SD card.

If the app is not designed to be moved to the SD card, you will not see the “Move to SD card” option.

Additional information:

• If you want to change the default storage for an individual app, you can do so by going to the App Info screen for that app. Tap on Storage and then select the desired storage location.
• You can also use the Files app to move apps and other files to your SD card. Open the Files app and then navigate to the location of the file or app that you want to move. Tap on the three dots in the top right corner of the screen and then select Move to SD card.
