Move apps to a memory card
Expand your phone’s memory with a memory card.
The quality of your memory card may affect the performance of your phone greatly. To get
the best out of your phone, use a fast 4–128GB card by a well-known manufacturer. For more
info on memory cards, check the frequently asked questions.
The memory card is sold separately. To install apps on a memory card, it should be formatted
as internal.
Tap Settings > Apps, tap the app name and Storage > Move to SD card.
You can later move the apps back to your phone from the memory card.
The type of the memory card may affect how long it takes to move large files to the card.
Disable an app
You can disable installed apps that you no longer want to use.
Tap Settings > Apps, tap the app name and Disable. You may not be able to disable all apps.
If an installed app depends on a removed app, the installed app may stop working. For details,
see the user documentation of the installed app.
