My device does not have the "Move" button for moving apps!

If you are using an Android 6 (or greater) device, please visit How to format the SD card as the internal storage? If you cannot find the Move button from your device, or AppMgr shows an "emulated" message for your device. It means that your device removes the function of moving apps to SD from the Android system so the moving apps function cannot be supported. Please read FAQ 9 from http://android.a0soft.com/?url=App2SD.htm for details. This is configured by the manufacturer. Nothing developers can do about this.

How to format the SD card as the internal storage?

As you may know that, Android 6 introduces a new moving "apps to SD" feature (adoptable storage, refer to #4 below) and abandon the original solution of moving apps to portable external storage. If you are using an Android 6 or greater device, you have to format the SD card as internal storage for moving apps. It's required by Android. You can do that by following the instructions below: How to turn external SD card into internal storage on Marshmallow? 1. Go to the device "Settings" > select "Storage". 2. Select your SD Card > tap the three-dot menu on top-right corner > and select "Settings" (or "Storage settings") from there. 3. Select Format as internal (not Format or Format as portable storage ) > and then "Erase & Format" on the next screen. 4. Your SD Card will now be formatted as internal storage. 5. Reboot phone. This is very important; otherwise, you may end up frustrated with issues...
