Welcome to Android Central! If you set an SD card as default storage, then files that an app downloads should go to the SD card. But if you're installing an app (and the SD card is formatted as Portable Storage rather than Internal Storage), the app still has to download and install to Internal Storage first before any part of it can be moved to the SD card. The Move to SD feature (which might not be available on your phone) only moves a portion of the app, not the whole thing.

The Move to SD feature (which might not be available on your phone) only moves a portion of the app, not the whole thing.

Portions - in separate pieces.

And might be turned off on those apps that the developer knows won't run from the SD card.
