If your smartphone or tablet is running out of storage, a MicroSD card can provide an easy solution. By moving files, photos, videos, and some apps to an external MicroSD card, you can free up internal storage, improve performance, and create more space for new content.

Below, we’ll show you how to move apps to a MicroSD card on a Samsung device, along with important tips to optimize your storage.

How to move apps to an SD card on a Samsung device

Follow these steps to transfer apps from your phone’s internal storage to a MicroSD card:

1. Open settings: tap the Settings app.
2. Access applications: scroll down and tap Applications.
3. Choose an app: select the app you want to move.
4. Tap storage: in the app settings, tap Storage.
5. Change storage location: tap Change.

This will free up internal storage by relocating app data to the MicroSD card.

What to do if you can’t move apps to an SD card

If your device doesn’t support moving apps to an SD card, or the app you want to move isn’t eligible, here are other ways to free up space:

• Clear app cache: go to Settings > Applications > [Select the App] > Storage > Clear Cache to free up temporary files.
• Delete unnecessary files: remove files, apps, or media you no longer need. You can also upload photos and videos to cloud services like Google Photos or Dropbox.
• Use storage optimization apps: apps like Google Files or Samsung Smart Manager can identify large files and unused apps, helping you clear space efficiently.

By using a MicroSD card and other optimization methods, you can easily manage your storage and keep your device running smoothly.
