Hint: Most Android devices don’t make the directory of your SD card very clear. That means that “Moving” the app to your SD card won’t really work, and you’ll need to look in the apps individually to set the locations where they store files. Just about all apps that create media files – such as your phone’s built-in camera app, podcast apps and voice recorders – will feature internal options to change the location where you want to save your podcasts, photos, recordings, whatever. If the number here is significantly smaller than the app’s size in the app list, then you know that your phone hasn’t moved all the data from your app, and you’ll need to find alternative solutions. ![]() Once the app’s “moved,” go to the App info screen again, and under “Storage” you’ll be able to see how much of its total size it’s keeping in the External storage. Still, with that in mind, to move an app from internal to external storage, go to “Settings -> Apps,” tap the app you want to move, then “Storage”, tap “Change” and then select your SD card. ![]() ![]() So even if your podcast app is on your SD card, saving you 50MB or whatever, all those hundreds of MB of podcasts are still clogging up your device. For smaller apps this should do the trick, but remember that larger apps like games or apps that store additional files like podcasts or recordings will automatically store those files in your internal storage. Naturally, the first thing you’ll want to try is the simplest option, which is to use Android’s built-in feature to move apps over from your internal storage to your SD card. ![]() Here we’ll show you how to take more control over where you store the files for your various apps.
