Running out of room on your phone or tablet? If you have a microSD card in your device, it lets you expand memory space and exchange pictures, music, or data with microSD compatible devices. It's a must for that catalog of pictures or songs you've accumulated over the years. Note: Available screens and settings may vary by wireless service provider and software version. Samsung Android phones do not support the Adoptable storage feature.
Unless you are a tech wizard, you probably aren't aware that microSD cards come in multiple classes. Other than storage capacity, there are different factors that separate them. Some also come with extra features that give them distinct classifications.
While you can use any class of microSD cards in your phone or tablet, the microSDXC card is recommended for high-resolution video recording, due to its large storage capacity and high-speed read and write capability. For less demanding use, such as still photography, regular microSD or microSDHC cards will be sufficient.
Note: Not all phone or tablet models support microSD cards. On these models, there will only be a slot for the SIM card. MicroSD cards give you tons of space on your phone or tablet, but they are really tiny. Just be careful not to drop or lose the microSD card.
If you have trouble getting the SIM and SD card tray out or it becomes damaged, service may be necessary.
Just insert your microSD card and you can begin transferring your files. You can also use the options in Device care to help clear space.
Note: You can only move or copy files this way in the My Files app. You cannot move or copy files to other apps, such as Gallery.
Before you relocate an app to a new storage location, make sure you have a microSD card inserted. Otherwise, your apps will have nowhere to go. Note: Many apps are not eligible to be moved to the microSD card. If you do not see the Change option available, you can't change the app's storage location. For example, preloaded apps cannot be moved.
Important: If your phone or tablet is factory reset when the microSD card encrypted, it will no longer be able to read the microSD card. Decrypt the SD card before resetting or using it with another device. If you use removable storage on your phone or tablet, you can protect your files by encrypting the SD card. Encryption converts data from a readable form to an encoded version that can only be read on the device that was used to encrypt it. Even though it sounds high-tech, it’s easy to encrypt files stored on your memory card on a Galaxy device.
Need to remove the microSD card from your phone or tablet so you can upgrade? No worries, we'll walk you through it. Remember, you must unmount the microSD card before removing it.
If you have trouble getting the SIM and SD card tray out or it becomes damaged, service may be necessary.
