Mobile phone users with Android operating system often get message which states – “Not enough storage space available”. This is a very common problem and is typically displayed when anyone is downloading any app or image/video etc. This is absolutely frustrating when due to lack of storage space you are not able to enjoy the interesting stuff.
So here are the tips to improve the storage capacity of Android:
Although most of the mobile phones have an external microSD card reader, the problem lies in the internal capacity of the terminal itself and the applications installed in it.
And in this post we will talk about how to move applications from internal memory to an external memory to increase the capacity of the phone and other ways to free up the memory, in order to be able to install more applications or simply have more space for those that are already installed.
Mobile applications for increasing Android device capacity:
As mentioned above, some phones have a limited internal capacity and there are certain applications that cannot be moved to an external card and therefore occupy a large amount of size in the internal memory.
App2SD
The first application we will talk about is App2SD. This application will allow applications to be moved to external memory, even if some of the data may still be stored in internal memory. Although some applications such as Whatsapp, Gmail or Youtube, for example, may not allow you to move them to the external storage card and we have to take the below steps to get this done.
Link2SD or App2SDGui
There are many advantages of being a root user in Android. Well, when it comes to moving applications from internal to external memory, this is one of those advantages. As root user you can move any application to the external memory, both the application itself and its data.
Examples of applications that can perform such tasks are Link2SD or App2SDGui. You can also uninstall a pre-installed application on your mobile phone that you don’t want to use and that takes part of your phone’s internal memory.
SD Maid and Clean Master – Erasing Cached Content
Another way to increase our mobile phone capacity is to erase cached content and all the “garbage” that accumulates on our handset. To get rid of it all, there are some applications like SD Maid and Clean Master.
By using the above mentioned apps you can increase the storage capacity of our Android phone and say goodbye to the hateful “Not enough storage space available” message that may appear when installing or updating an application.
