▷ How to move applications and data to the sd card on the huawei y6 2018

Despite being one of the best-selling Huawei phones during the past year, the Huawei Y6 2018 has an important deficiency: storage space. The base model of the device has only 16 GB, of which slightly more than 10 are free for the user. The best way to expand your storage is to opt for an SD memory card. Yesterday we showed you a series of tricks to improve the performance of a slow Huawei Y6 2018 with lag. Weeks ago we showed you several interesting tricks of the Huawei Y6. Today we will teach you how to pass and move applications and data to SD on the Huawei Y6 2018.

The steps described below are compatible with both the Huawei Y6 2017 and the 2018 model and soon the 2019 model.

How to move applications to the SD card on the Huawei Y6 2018

Moving applications to the SD on a Huawei Y6 2018 is currently not possible. EMUI got rid of this option as of the eighth version of the system (EMUI 8).

Nor can we transfer applications to the SD using third-party applications such as App 2 SD, Link2SD or AppMgr. The only way to transfer applications to the memory card is to root the Huawei Y6, a process that we at Tuexperto.com do not recommend unless we have the appropriate knowledge.

What we can do in the Huawei Y6 is to transfer all the data to the SD memory and configure the applications so that they save all their content on the SD card, as we will explain below.

How to move data to SD on Huawei Y6

Moving files from internal memory to SD is a task that can be carried out from the Files application installed by default on the mobile.

Once we are inside the question application, we will go to the Local tab and click on the internal memory section. Then, we will see a list with all the folders of the internal storage of the Huawei Y6 2018.

To transfer a folder to the SD card, as simple as pressing and holding the folder in question and clicking Move in the options bar that will appear at the bottom of the application. Of course, we must bear in mind that the system's own folders, such as Android, HuaweiSystem or Huawei, cannot be moved to the SD.

Some of the applications that we recommend moving from Tuexperto.com are the following:

• DCIM (folder where all camera photos are saved)
• Pictures (folder where all system screenshots are saved)
• WhatsApp (folder where all WhatsApp files such as images, videos, audios…)
• Telegram (folder where all Telegram files are stored)
• Downloads (folder where all the files downloaded from Google Chrome and other browsers are saved)
• Music (folder where all downloaded music is saved)
• Themes (folder where all downloaded and installed themes are saved)
• Movies (folder where all downloaded movies are saved)

When we have selected the folder or folders in question, transferring the files to the SD card is as simple as navigating again to the Local tab and selecting SD Card.

Finally we will give Move and automatically all the files next to the original folder will be moved to the memory card.

How to save photos to SD and other files on Huawei Y6 2018

The problem with moving the data to the SD card on the Huawei Y6 is that, as you may have imagined, the applications will save their data back to the internal memory of the phone. The solution in this case will depend on the type of application that we have installed on the mobile, but in general, we will be able to change the saving path from the application's own settings.

In applications such as Spotify or Netflix, we can choose where to save the songs and movies in the settings of the application in question. As simple as changing the path to the SD card and saving the settings.

In the event that the card is not recognized as a storage space, then we will have to format it from the mobile itself as it does not have a format compatible with Android.
