How can you keep updated apps on SD card?

[klumzmonkey]

I constantly have to move my apps from the device to the SD card. After every update, the app is moved back to the device and I have to go in and manually put each app back onto the SD card. Is there a simpler way to accomplish this? Or get them to stay on the SD card?

Welcome to the forums. I thin because the default setting is always the internal storage, all the data gets moved back to internal. I don't think there is any way to change this.

Are you having storage issues that you need to move your apps to the SD card?

Do a search in the Galaxy s5 forum, tons of posts on this already.

In short - you can't.

You can swap internal and external storage if you root the phone. Then run External 2 Internal SD (Root) and everything installs to the card (which is mounted as internal storage). Of course, running apps from the card does shorten the life of the card (it's not designed to be used that way).
