Why is my storage running out?

AC Question

I downloaded some apps. After downloading and installed, I moved the app to my SD card (32g). I keep track of the phone storage on my android. It seems to me that it does not matter if I load extra storage. My extra storage still gets depleted. Am I doing anything wrong. Thank you.

Which app did you move to the SD card?

Most of the time when you move an app to the sd card, you are only moving part of it.
You may need to adjust the app's settings to make sure it is storing its data on the SD card.
Every time you update the app software, it will automatically move back to the internal storage.

SD cards are best used for your photos, movies, and documents.
