Hello, I would like to transfer my applications to my SD card to free the internal memory.

How to do ? It was possible on my Z3 compact...

Hi @Foudupad76;

I am afraid moving apps to SD card is not allowed in XZ2 Compact like in other Xperia devices with Android Oreo.

Can we suggest it to Sony, or is it a final decision?

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!
