Why can't i transfer my apps from phone to SD card ?

[colt55]

I tried moving downloaded apps from phone to SD card after realizing it consumes more space, but it never worked. Phone memory is almost full and if i tried changing the download files to save in SD card i end up getting error downloading files so i have to keep downloading on phone memory which works fine - Lumia 535 user

Is this happening with every app, or some select apps? Remember apps like whatsapp cant be downloaded on external memory.

What trouble are you facing while trying to move the apps to sdcard? is there an error number generated when you try to transfer the apps? Also tell us which os build you are in, are you an insider?

Have you tried soft reset? reformatting the sdcard and then trying?
