"Data on SD card" for apps are remaining in internal storage yet....

Funyapu — Thu, 14 Jan 2016 14:05:45 GMT

On detail setting on an application "Settings > applications > individual apps",

I've found that even the application have data in external SD card.

But used memory in SD is less than it in "Settings > Storage".

Is there any settings I should have done to move my data to SD?

I just noticed that after DL 20GB kindle books....

Specs:

- Android 5.0.2

- 32GB internal memory

- 62GB external SD card formatted w/ FAT. Mounted successfully.

Hi and welcome to the community!

When you move an app to the external SD card, Android will only move the APK-file (the file that is downloaded when you download the app from Google Play). If you then download data in the app (for example books), it's up to the app itself where it stores this data. Some apps have a setting for where to store data so i recommend that you check the app you use for books if you can change where it stores them.
