Dangus Khan Estimable. May 1, 2 0 4, 0. Hi, I recently bought a Galaxy ON5 and it's internal storage, which all my apps seem to be downloading to, only has about 8. I was wondering if there is a way to set apps to download onto my SD card instead? I've looked up some tutorials but they all seem to be for different Samsung devices than mine. I found a similar question for my same phone model asked but it went unsolved.
I have the same issue as in it only gives me the option to format my SD card as portable storage and not internal. Anyone know what I should do? Saga Lout Olde English Moderator.
