Apps on SD-Card moved back to device storage after being updated? On my Samsung Galaxy S5 (running Lollipop 5.0), I noticed the following behavior:


I moved some apps to my external SD-Card storage.
Every time, Google Play Store tells me to update one of these apps, they're getting moved back to the device's storage - and I have to push them back again to the SD-Card.


Did anyone encounter the same issue (or is this maybe just my phone)? This behavior does not show up on my old Galaxy (Android 4.1.2 - apps keep their place there, even after being updated).

Since I think, that it's very annoying to check whether apps should be moved to the SD-Card again, can somebody please tell me, how to stop this behavior or automate app2sd for specific apps?

Edit: I did not root my phone
The problem is you don't have you SD card selected as the default installation location. Which makes the app install back onto the internal storage.

To fix this got to Settings &gt; Storage &gt; Preferred install location then select SD card. After you update it will install app on the SD card by default.
