Move Apps to an SD Card on Android 8.0 Oreo
On Android 8.0 Oreo you move a supported app to the SD card from its Storage settings. The steps are the same as on Android 9.0; we cover each version separately for clarity.
How to move an app to the SD card
- Open Settings and go to Apps (Apps & notifications) > App info.
- Find the app you want to move and tap it.
- Tap Storage.
- If the app supports moving, a Change (or Switch) button appears. Tap it.
- Select the SD card in the window that opens.
- Tap Move in the confirmation window.
The app must support being moved to external storage. Pre-installed apps cannot be moved. Menu names can differ slightly by phone brand.
