How to Get More Internal Storage on Android

-- Friday, June 13, 2014
You will find a frustrating thing that the longer you use your time, the less internal storage space you have. You might get mad at the slow speed while using your Android. Why is it getting slower? The reason is, when we play with our Android phone like Samsung Galaxy S7/S8/Note 8, we will install some apps, some movies, and generate other Android data. And thus the internal storage of our Samsung Galaxy is less and less and finally it will get slower and slower when you operating your Android handset. Let’s see how to get more internal storage of your Android.

Method 1: Migrate Data to PC to Save Space on Device

Another useful way to clear cache to get more internal space is to uninstall the data that you seldom use. It can not only save your Android internal space but also save battery power of Android phone.

Method 4: Move Apps to SD Card

Insert an external SD card into the phone, and transfer the Android apps that are movable to the SD card. If you haven’t root your Android yet, you can root your Android first and get the file manager app on your Samsung Galaxy to move the pre-install app to the SD card or delete them if you don’t like. Or you can directly download and install Apps in SD card.
