micro sd card

How do I get apps to use the SD card?

Amazon music reports no available space, Netflix doesn't give you the option, can't point the camera to use it.

Was easy to do on previous device on Android 7.

Thanks

Got the phone to use the SD Card - other applications not using it.

Is this a 'feature' of Oreo ?

@paul_donny regarding camera - open camera, tap cogwheel icon > More > Data storage > SD card.

when it comes to third party apps, it depends on the app whether it supports storing data on the SD card or not.

Thanks, camera doing as intended.

As for other Apps, for example , Amazon Music, it recognises that the SD card is installed, but shows it as 0.0GB free, and therefore says destination full when trying to write to it. Netflix does not recognise SD card, although on other devices on Nougat it all shows correctly.

Even the 'move to SD' functionality seems to have been removed in 8.0

Looks to be an App problem - Amazon Video can see SD card capacity, Amazon Music/Netflix cannot

@paul_donny in that case, you might want to contact the app developer and let them know about the issue
