Is there ANY **bleep** APP that currently works when natively moved over to the SD card??
Sd card support and apps working after being moved to the SD card worked fine until this beta.

It seems like nothing works or works acceptably after being moved.

Some of us still utilize a SD card samsung...
What good is being able to transfer things to the sd card to save space and ram etc....IF IT ISNT WORKING OR FUNCTIONING!?

I didn't even know that was a thing anymore. I use my SD card for photos which is the majority of space taken for me. do apps really take that much?

it depends some apps may take more than others usually games are one of the larger ones that take up a lot of space when you move apps to the SD card it doesn't move the actual app to the SD card it moves the apps data and other files to the SD card. phones just like a computer seeing that they are essentially a computer work like this - the more things you have on your phone taking up space the slower the operating system performs so you want to try to keep as much of your original hard drive space available as possible the more you fill up your internal space the slower your phone is going to react as it also depends on that space to properly utilize the RAM and ROM and everything else whatever doesn't need to be kept on my phone I will always transfer to an SD card just like a Windows computer for example the more things you have in your taskbar at the bottom this lower your computer will perform

I thought moving apps to the SD card was removed as a native function in Android after Marshmallow or Nougat. Looking at the apps in settings there is no button for moving apps to the SD card. Apps that are sideloaded and manually installed on an SD card don't work either as far as I know because Oreo, Pie and Android 10 aren't designed to run apps from external memory.

Samsung does have a lot of features buried in the OS. How were you moving apps to the SD card?

looks like it's there still but not for all apps. I don't run many games so my local storage has plenty of space.

I store my pics on my sd card. a few apps still ask if you want to move them to the SD card. When I factory reset my S10 plus, I took a very long screenshot of my browser bookmarks just in case. I did the reset and my gallery is still acting up.

to be quite honest I'm actually not sure but as a safety measure I always have moved apps back before any kind of a delete or a factory reset just to be on the safe side because you never know
