BEWARE you cannot move any APPs over to the external SD card,  I have a 64GB internal which is large. If you get a smaller internal and download may APPs you coud be out of gas with nowhere to go. Samsung claims it is a copyright problem. However how come all of a sudden its a problem when previous models you could do that function. Possible it will be resolved and new firmware will change it ,In the meantime Samsung is using deceptive advertising stating you can use the external SD card

It's not just your Tab A7, in the one of the last few updates for my Note9 all of the apps were moved back to internal storage and the option to move them is no longer is available.

this is kinda dumb, there's no reason why they should prevent you from using that SD CARD SLOT to put your apps on,... should be up to the cosumer... my niece got this for christmas, it's a decent tablet, but what puts me off is not allowed you to use your SD card properly... theres no reason why samsung should stop this!

Samsung, need update so we can move apps to sd card on galaxy tab A7. My internal is full. Don't make me sorry I bought a Samsung Tablet. Its a nice tablet except for this. I have a whole lifetime of buying electronics, you might miss me.

After making the change, I do not see the ability to move applications to the SD Card. Brand new A7 machine.

None of them will let me move them. I read that android disabled that in their OS.

I have the same Device and am wondering about this too. Bit of sceptical Thinking here, but maybe there is a way to trick your tablet into thinking that SD is the Main one? This may be a thing a youtuber covered.
