Annoyance - moving apps to SD card

[kpreachers]

On my S5, I could just go into Applications, swipe over once to see what apps where able to go onto SD cards and then check the ones I want to move and then move them. With the S7 Edge, I have to go into Storage, Used Space, and then have to go through every single app to see what can be moved and then move it. This takes so long.

Any other ideas for doing this more efficiently?

I'm not sure. I would like to know too. I thought I moved my apps to the SD card but it looks like they are still taking up all my internal memory. I'm trying to install FF 9 but I don't have any room. Can I install directly to the SD card?

Nope. You dont have to wait for it to finish before moving on to the next app if that helps

Nope. You have to install to the phone and then move to the SD card. It doesn't completely move everything over though.

In your case, I would look into getting the adoptable storage option.

Here's how to configure adoptable storage on your S7 / S7 Edge - Android - MoDaCo

That wasn't the issue. I know I don't have to wait. It is that I can't see on one screen what can move to SD card and what can't. I have to click on every app to see where it is located and if it can be moved. This was so much easier before when they were all on one screen

Can someone please share the steps for moving apps and any data saved on the device storage to the sd card so it doesn't disrupt functionality? When I went into my files and moved my music, my music and play lists were no longer accessible in Google Play music app
