Format SD card
You'll need to choose one of two formats for your SD card:
•
Use as portable storage if you want to move the card to other devices to access your media.
•
Use as internal storage if you need more device storage to install large apps and games and plan to use
the card only in your phone.
Portable storage Internal storage
Store media (photos, videos, music) yes yes
Store apps no yes
Content encrypted no yes
Read card in other devices yes no
To format the inserted card:
1. Go to Settings > Storage.
2. Touch the SD card's name.
3.
Touch > Storage settings.
4. Touch Format as internal or Format as portable.
If you don't see Format as internal, then your phone only supports SD cards formatted as portable
storage.
If you formatted as portable storage, be sure to update settings in media apps (like camera, music, and
podcast apps), so they use the card to store content you create or download.
