RELATED: How to Install and Move Android Apps to the SD Card
First, pop open the SD card slot on the side of the tablet and slide in the microSD card. You’ll see a notification about “Unsupported Storage” or “Storage Device.” Tap it.
The next screen asks “How will you use this SD card?” To move apps to the SD card, we’ll need to select “Use as Internal Storage.
Next, a pop-up will inform you that the SD card will be formatted for internal use and all existing content will be erased. To use the microSD card in another device later on, it will need to be reformatted. Tap “Format Storage Device” to continue.
After the formatting process is complete, tap “Move Content.”
Tap “Done” when the process is complete.
You don’t have to manually move apps to the SD card. The Fire Tablet will automatically install apps to the SD card if more storage space is needed. You can see which apps are on the SD card by going to Settings > Storage > Storage Device and selecting “Apps.”
If you’d like to move an app off the SD card, you can select the app from the “Apps Storage” screen shown above, tap “Change,” and select “Internal Storage.”
Now when you go to the “Storage” settings, you’ll see those apps can be moved back to the SD card.
