How to install large game files onto your phone

[Maceasar]

Hi
How do you install games that have large files onto your phone?

I get the message that I need more space and it suggests uninstalling other apps.

I know to move the app to the sd card when an app is downloaded, but not how to successfully download it.

I have Samsung Galaxy J1 phone & 8 gb sd card

Thank you

That doesn't free up any space. (It CAN cause problems.) It moves small pieces of the app to the card - and leaves pointers to thaose pieces in main storage. If the piece moved is smaller than the pointer (it happens), you've wasted space.

but not how to successfully download it.

Have enough free space in internal storage to download it to - downloads are always to internal storage.

You have a 4GB phone - you're limited to a few small apps. (This is why people replace phones every few years - not because the manufacturers want more money, but because apps keep getting too large for phones that are more than a year or two old.)
