I was just checking my storage and found out that my Whats apps videos are going on Internal Storage instead of the SD card, How do I make my whats apps videos go to the SD card? I tried taking pictures and videos on the phone and those went to the SD card but the ones from whats apps goes to internal storage.


When I look in my Storage this is how it shows: Does this mean that my Whats apps are going to the internal storage? I am not sure.

if you enable developer options you can allow apps to use external storage. only change that and then exit out. then when you go to the apps you'll find a place under storage to change it. might need a reboot after setting it in dev options, not sure.

That only allows you to move apps to the SD card regardless of whether the app supports it or not.

I don't think this is possible. every now and again I go through and transfer the videos to SD card manually. WhatsApp and Snapchat are the 2 big culprits for me
