Hello
I have a Medium Lifetib tablet (E10814) (MD60714) with 128 GB of internal memory. There are apps like Facebook or Messenger that are asking me for updates, but the message says that I need to delete some apps in order to perform the updates. So, I put in a larger SD card of 128 GB that I formatted to use as internal memory! However, the card is recognized by the tablet, but I still can't do the updates or add videos!
Each time I try, it tells me to format the card, which has already been done! If someone can help me, I thank you in advance.

Hello,

An external SD card only stores data for applications that were installed after its installation, which means that space needs to be freed up by uninstalling a number of applications (even if it means backing up their data when possible) and then reinstalling them on this card.

THANK YOU for your response, I will try! But for example, I uninstalled Messenger (it was asking me for updates and I couldn't do them "not enough space") I can't reinstall it because of lack of space!!

It's necessary to make more space elsewhere (videos...), other applications to uninstall..., so that there is enough to be able to reinstall and choose the SD card.

Hello,

I don't know, I can't find any information regarding the supported card size or its formatting type.

We probably come back to the same question: just like on a PC, for a copy to take place, there needs to be a temporary buffer space on the system partition which does not exist here, so we need to see if the situation changes by deleting as many applications and contents as necessary (128 GB on an Android device is very important, a bunch of applications shouldn't be enough, there are surely a lot of bulky videos).
