Can you save more than 3 apps to SD Card with V10?

I am looking into upgrading and am considering the V10. I currently have a G3 from LG but have found an annoying quirk recently. It only lets me save 3 apps to the SD card before giving me the "not enough storage space" warning. When SD has 30gb left and internal storage has about 15gb left. I've researched and other people have had the same issue so it has to do with LG. So I'd like to make sure this issue is not still present with the V10. Because while 64gb internal storage space is a lot, as internal storage grows so will app sizes as well because app designers will be able to do more. So that 64gb will not hold as much as it once did. I'd like to know that I can use the SD card to transfer apps to if and when that time comes.

Thank You!

If the app has it built in to allow being moved to the SD card then yes you will be able to.

Not necessarily. I have many apps that say that they can be switched to the SD card but when I try I get the ever annoying "not enough storage space." Even though I do have storage pace. I've only been able to transfer 3 apps. I know I'm not the only one with the issue. I currently have about 15 apps that can be transferred to the SD card and I've only been able to transfer 3. So I need to know if the issue is still present in the V10. Because there have been other people who've had the same issue on multiple LG devices.

A little more research and I found the issue. I can only format my card as "portable storage" not "Internal Storage". Internal storage would allow you to install apps on the SD card. The G3 only has the option for formatting as "portable storage." It has to do with my carrier modifying Marshmallow not to allow the use of adaptive storage.

So this issue is not on all phones and has to do with the carrier.
