Apps to SD Storage Failure

[Mirjamb]

I have a experia xa2. I want my app storage on sd card. BUT THE BUTTON ISN'T THERE TO MOVE THE APPS TO SD.

is it possible to place apps on extern storage or not?

@Mirjamb

Not all apps can be moved to the SD card.

its a problem with the app, the app its not designet to be installed, moved to the SD or its blocket... not a problem of the phone or SD card

Hi I have this problem too. in my old mobile I moved the same app to the same SD without problem. So it's not   a problem of the app.

that could be because ur old phone have another version of android, not android oreo, could be that... but after all why u want to transfer apps  to the SD? the apps on SD make the app more slow and could get more buggy and the XA2 have lot of free memory for apps

I have the same problem, hope they can fix it soon.

the same app I replaced to SD on my old phone (samsung s3 neo). It seems to be a problem of adroid Oreo.

I hav not so much apps, but the memory of my phone is already at 20 gb full. So I want to to place them on the SD card.

I have this problem on my brand new XA2. I am using the same SD Card I used on my XA1 that had Oreo as well.  I went into developer settings and chose the setting to force allow external storage; didn't help. Formatted SD card again; didn't help. Anyone have a fix for this so far? I am going to have to do a factory reset, apparently.  (And yes I know some apps cannot be moved to external storage; these are apps that were moved to SD card on the XA1).

i too am getting this,had a moto g4 and apps that could be moved to sd can be, the sony xa2 has no such feature on any apps maybe its a oreo thing, but a bad move
