Why Did My App Move Back to Phone Storage After an Update?

Updated 1 min read 21 views

When an app updates, Android sometimes installs the new version on the phone storage again. Your SD card space is then wasted and the phone fills up.

Let APPtoSD keep watch

Turn on the notice "Tell me about new apps that can be moved to the SD card and apps an update put back on the phone". At most once a day you get, for example:

  • "An update put 2 apps back on the phone"
  • "3 new apps can be moved to the SD card"

Move them again

  1. Tap the notification. APPtoSD opens the list.
  2. Tap an app. In App info, tap Storage, then Change, and choose the SD card.
  3. Repeat for the other apps.

No Change button? The developer may not allow moving the app, or your phone needs an SD card formatted as internal storage. See Portable or Internal Storage? and Developer Options for "Force allow apps on external".
