Many people search for a way to move WhatsApp to the SD card. The short answer: Android does not allow the WhatsApp app itself to be moved – but the photos, videos and documents it saves usually take far more space than the app, and those can go to the card.

1. See what WhatsApp stores

In WhatsApp: Settings → Storage and data → Manage storage. You see the biggest chats and forwarded files. Delete what you do not need here first.

2. Move WhatsApp media to the SD card

  1. Open APPtoSD and choose Move files.
  2. Select WhatsApp images and videos (folder Android/media/com.whatsapp/WhatsApp/Media).
  3. Move them to the SD card.

The photos stay visible in your gallery. Inside the WhatsApp chat they will no longer open, because WhatsApp only looks in its own folder.

3. Stop saving everything

WhatsApp → Settings → Chats → turn off Media visibility, and in Storage and data set Media auto-download to "No media" on mobile data.

Back up first: turn on WhatsApp chat backup to Google Drive before moving or deleting media.
