Samsung Galaxy s7: Move apps to SD card

How you move apps to the SD card on the Samsung Galaxy s7 depends on which apps you want to move. You can easily change the storage space for self-downloaded apps via the settings. For already integrated, pre-installed apps, you will need a little trick.

How to move apps from your Samsung Galaxy s7 to the SD card

Apps such as WhatsApp or even games and other apps from the Google Play Store can be moved from your Samsung Galaxy s7 to the SD card without much effort.

1. Go to the settings and navigate via "Advanced Settings" to "Storage".
2. In the internal storage you will find the item "Apps".
3. Click on it, find the app you want to move and tap on "Change".
4. Select the SD card to move the app there.

Move non-modifiable apps to the SD card?

Some apps that are already pre-installed in the system cannot be moved in this way. If the internal storage on your Galaxy s7 is full anyway, you can make use of the "Adoptable Storage" function. This basically turns your SD card into an internal storage, so you usually have more storage space available.However, this process is a bit laborious, since you first have to enable developer mode on your s7, turn on USB debugging and install the Android Debug Bridge. After that, use the command line to be able to use the SD card as Adoptable Storage.
