Introduction
Moving apps to an SD card can be a useful way to free up storage space on your LG Stylo 2 Plus. By transferring apps to the SD card, you can optimize the internal storage of your device and ensure that you have enough space for other important files and applications. In this article, we will guide you through the process of moving apps to an SD card on your LG Stylo 2 Plus.
Step 1: Check SD Card Compatibility
Before you begin moving apps to an SD card, it is essential to ensure that your SD card is compatible with your LG Stylo 2 Plus. The device supports microSD cards up to a certain capacity, typically 32GB or 64GB. Check the specifications of your device or consult the user manual to determine the maximum supported capacity.
Step 2: Insert the SD Card
To move apps to an SD card, you need to have an SD card inserted into your LG Stylo 2 Plus. Locate the SD card slot on your device, usually located on the side or back panel. Use a SIM card ejector tool or a small pin to open the SD card tray. Insert the SD card into the tray and gently push it back into the device until it clicks into place.
Step 3: Format the SD Card
Before you can start moving apps to the SD card, you need to format it as internal storage. This process will erase all data on the SD card, so make sure to back up any important files before proceeding. To format the SD card, follow these steps:
1. Go to the “Settings” menu on your LG Stylo 2 Plus.
2. Scroll down and tap on “Storage & USB.”
3. Select the SD card option.
4. Tap on the three-dot menu icon in the top-right corner.
5. Choose “Settings” from the dropdown menu.
6. Tap on “Format as internal.”
7. Read the warning message and tap on “Format.”
Wait for the formatting process to complete. Once finished, your SD card will be ready to use as internal storage.
Step 4: Move Apps to the SD Card
Now that your SD card is formatted as internal storage, you can start moving apps to it. Follow these steps:
1. Go to the “Settings” menu on your LG Stylo 2 Plus.
2. Scroll down and tap on “Apps.”
3. Select the app you want to move to the SD card.
4. Tap on the “Storage” option.
5. If the app is movable, you will see an option to “Change” the storage location.
6. Tap on “Change” and select the SD card.
7. Confirm the move by tapping on “Move” or “Move to SD card.”
The app will now be moved to the SD card, freeing up space on your device’s internal storage. Repeat these steps for other apps you want to move.
Step 5: Manage Apps on the SD Card
Once you have moved apps to the SD card, you can manage them by following these steps:
1. Go to the “Settings” menu on your LG Stylo 2 Plus.
2. Scroll down and tap on “Apps.”
3. Select the “SD Card” option.
4. You will see a list of apps that are currently stored on the SD card.
5. Tap on an app to view its details or uninstall it if needed.
You can also move apps back to the internal storage if desired. Simply follow the same steps outlined in Step 4, but select “Internal storage” instead of the SD card.
Conclusion
Moving apps to an SD card on your LG Stylo 2 Plus can help optimize storage space and ensure smooth device performance. By following the steps outlined in this article, you can easily transfer apps to the SD card and manage them according to your preferences.
