How to make sd card primary storage

[Olli_]

Hi,

 

I am currently using a lg k8 as my old phone was smashed and needed a cheap phone however im struggling with the storage. The phone only comes with 8gb of internal storage and only about 2gb is left so no room at all. I have a sd card and was wondering is it possible to put everything on there or how to make it the primary storage when i download apps and stuff.

 

Thanks

Not possible, I'm afraid. You can save pictures and video and move SOME apps to the SD card assuming you have at least Android 6 or newer. The majority is stuck to your internal storage though.

Yes you can, if you have root access

Like what fatlooser123 said, with root most of the unmovable caps can be transferred to the SD card

 

Do expect some instability however.

You can also move them manually (most of files) with no root. But you can move EVERY file with root.
