Moving What's app to SD Card

Issue:


      All media can be saved directly onto that memory card, except for anything coming off whatsapp. I send and receive a lot of media from whatsapp, and every time someone sends me something, it automatically saves on the internal memory. Now with the amount I have used whatsapp in the past, the 16gb internal memory will not last.

                                                 

Solution 1:

                There are very few techniques to move apps like What's App to External SD Card. Rooting the phone  is one of them but is was not safe for our personal data. Any one can easily hack our phone and get our secure data like mobile banking passwords... etc

Solution 2:

                There was a simple solution which can move most of the default application to external SD card.
Step1: (Software Download)
                To  make SD card as your default storage android SDK tool kit is needed. Full SDK tool kit is of around 1 GB size. For your convinence i have given you separate link which contains adb tool that required to do the below operations. ( size is 1.69Mb)

Download the software from the below link

https://www.dropbox.com/s/ahjxontkqwxsiuh/android_x86_64_20140702_platform-tools.zip?dl=0

Download the adb drivers for your device

By default adb drivers will be auto installed, if not download drivers for your model

                                   

Try the below links

Step2 : (Extracting)


                Extract the zip file. Create folder c:/androidsdk and save it in the created directory

Step3:

                enable USB debugging mode

                                                  

Select MTP mode when usb connected

                                                  

Step 4:


        Open Command prompt

                                  

>adb devices                      ---------to get list of devices       
>adb shell pm get-install-location
By default the location will be    0[auto]
>adb shell pm set-install-location 2          ----------- to set location to externel sd card

   Note:  Most of the default apps can be moved to SD Card, Only apps that are inbuilt with OS cannot be moved. Remaining all apps will be auto installed to SD card by default
