New Galaxy A7 Tab Lite does not allow apps to be moved to SD card, even when permissions are allowed. Latest Android 12 dated 07/2022 installed. Found a few other recent posts online stating their A7 doesn't provide the "change" tab since 12 update. Bummer! Installed and then formatted Sandisk Extreme 32GB SD card.
This was the most useful video i have seen for moving things to a micro sd card thank you :)
Confirmed works on Android 13.
Make sure you enable developer options and allow writing to external.
"Change" button appears in storage info app and allows transfer with no issues.
Internal Storage isn't reflective of change but I was able to confirm by plugging A7 Lite to a external source aka PC, Laptop to check internal space
In the past, I was able to move certain apps to the SD card; HOWEVER, when the app was UPDATED from the Play Store, it would move it right back to the Internal Storage. This means if you have say 20-30 app updates (which happens all the time), you'll have to constantly be moving them from Internal to External storage every time updates are made. My question is, if you move an app to the microSD card, DOES IT STAY THERE even after an update is made? Can you please verify and let me know? Thanks - and good video.
Thanks I've been trying to figure this out for awhile!
Excellent, thank you. Us old duffers need this kind of guidance. Top form... 👍

I can move apps alright, well, those that can be moved, but I'm searching for info if there's any possibility of making an SD card a default place for downloads? Don't want to be moving apps all the time. I want them to go straight to SD like they can on my phone.
Don't know why, but on my tablet, in apps, it moves the application and says that it's in external storage, but when I look in the storage nothing have move from internal to external... Doesn't seem to work. I have the latest august 2023 update!
I try to move my games to the sd card but it won't work. like i have the change button, that said that is install on the sd card and if i remove the sd card the app won't work even but i don't see the space use in the sd card instead of the internal storage like my sd card is still at 200mb and my internal at 26gb use even if ive install 5 games in it. i don't understand 🤔
I have same problem
Samsung Galaxy Tab A7 Lite may do not support adaptable storage just move?
Just off of a chat with either a Samsung rep or a bot. I cannot tell. Here is the transcript.

Let me check the details.

Unfortunately, we don't have option to move the apps to SD card memory after the Android 9 version update.

That seems fairly backwards as far as an "update" is concerned. Is there any plan to restore this ability in any new updates?

I would file complaints with Samsung. I would guess this is a ploy to sell machines with more memory from the factory. Strictly a guess.
Would be interesting to see if the functionality exists on non stock ROMs. I guess the fact this previously worked proves that spotting storage among internal and SD storage is technically feasible (with the obvious limitation that you can't upgrade to a higher capacity SD or use the card for something else)
Daniel, seems like the only way to move the location to SD Card is by checking the apps first whether possible or not. With the older Android version, there is an option to make the SD Card as the default storage. Looks like this option is not available anymore in Android 12. Am I right?

Ur sadly correct. Literally can’t put my apps on my tab A8 with 32 gigabytes to my 256 gigabytes sd card. Such bs.
It is easier to upgrade the tablet by buying a new one , or switch to Apple IPad which seems to be easier . The latest update doesn't provide an option now.
But what if it doesn't have change mine only has
App
Data
Cache
Total
Can you please tell me what I should do
It’s not a thing anymore with android 12 😢
I am not able to move the data to sd card. The tab doesnt shows the option. What do i do
Bro I follow ur video
I move app to the SD CARD but app not opening
I just rest my Galaxy Tab A7 lite 8" tablet to factory. I am trying to have apps from th start use the SD card. I follow your process for my comixology app for example and I choose SD card and it says to wait while it transfers over then it comes back and tells me there is not enough storage???? The SD card is brand new and I just factory rest the tablet? Any guidance would be appreciated.
Same happening to me with two separate sd cards
I try and move the apps over to my sd card but is says insufficient space on sd card but it's completely empty. I know I can move it over as I have done it on my phone. Can you help please buddy 🙏
I have the exact same problem, still can't find an answer
@Darren Weeks it's annoying isn't it 😒
Same, did you find out.? How?
@Jomar Getopino seems like since the latest update its been removed 🙄
I have the same problem
I can't move any apps onto my SD card and streaming on Crunchyroll is stuttery. Please help... 🥺
Move to SD card won't work yet on 12 update. stay on 11 until it is fixed. I was able to go back to 11. Google using Odin on Samsung tablets.
Do you need to be rooted to go back to 11?
@@ruudygh I didn't need to.
Kindle?
WORKS PERFECTLY THANK YOUU
mine doesnt work i moved call of duty on "external" and when i go to my storage it still says "0" on sd card and "99" on internal
i keep moving it and nothing happens
even my other apps
Same, put Raid to SD card. It says it has moved, but not actually on the SD. If I remove the SD the game won't start, but 99% of game still using internal storage.
@@lynnfuentas9236 yep same exact problem
If an app is 2GB DATA, that WONT be moved... only say 175MB of the app will... this is clickbait
Doesn’t work for apps! Anyone know if it will be fixed in android update? If Samsung is going to be like iPads and iPhones now, then I may as well go back to apple!
Hi can i know, what about spotify or netflix? U can move to sd card?
Hey! On my tablet, I can't move either Netflix or Spotify onto SD storage. So the answer seems to be 'no'.
Cod mobile wont mobe even when i have 256gb storage
This DOESN'T WORK ON ANY OF MY APPS!
Yeah it's not all of them. Definitely a minority of the apps on my device.
@@DanielSRosehill Some apps transferred? Really?
Yup. But relatively few. My guess would be that the only apps you can shift to the SD are those that don't interact in any way with the main system storage (because it's on a separate volume). I can't remember which I got over but .. most of them I couldn't.
@@DanielSRosehill I'm very surprised. I tried all apps that don't interface with the main system. Not a one would transfer. BTW, do you know if the 64GB version has a xim card, as the 32GB does. If so where can I buy it. I'm an Australian in Vn. Not so much choice here.
