Can't transfer app to sd card

I am just after receiving my new Sony Xperia Xa2 Ultra and I don't know how to transfer apps to my sd card. It is saying I can only transfer Music, Photos and Videos?

@Michael25the XA2 Ultra doesn't support moving apps to SD card, most likely for performance reasons.

Any newer phone that runs Android 5.0 or higher does not allow to transfer apps to your SD card it's just a feature that Google eliminated years ago.

Hi everyone,

In regards to your questions about why this is no longer available, please have a look at the text below.

Google stopped providing the possibility to move apps to an SD card to secure the security and the privacy in Android 6. This feature was removed from Android, but we continued to support it further for some time. However, we decided not to keep our solution to move apps to an SD card for users security and privacy.

I hope that answers your questions!
