I have a 64GB SD Card formatted as internal storage. And I would like to install apps into it. How can I do this?

    IIRC this used to be a thing on older versions of Android (Ice Cream Sandwich, etc.) but they restricted it to media only in later versions for security reasons.

    Someone please correct me if I’m misremembering!

      for security reasons.

      AKA to boost sales of new devices by making old devices unusable faster by preventing the user from upgrading storage.

        Yeah in hindsight I should’ve put ‘security reasons’ in inverted commas

      it worked on Lollipop but not later versions of android like marshmallow etc. Mind you I ran marshmallow and later as a custom ROM
