Referring to above unfinished EE thread,
Q1:
will anything break if I move Whatsapp photos/images from Phone to microSD & if needed,
later move the photos/images back to the phone?
Q2:
Would like to clarify what Tim Green mentioned below: I could not locate it.
"Just because it doesn't cache the email, it still save info about the mailbox that will be needed for connectivity.
The move process may be a bit different depending on the android device but you can do it like this for the most part:
1.Navigate to settings on your phone
2.Tap Apps.
3.Select an app you want to move to the microSD card.
4.Tap Storage.
5.Tap Change if it's there. If you don't see the Change option, the app cannot be moved.
6.Tap Move. "

> I have not seen often (it's mostly something from the 8GB era).
So you reckon the 32GB phone won't get filled up? I previously had 16GB Android phone & it fills up &
had to delete photos/videos from whatsapp (after moving away what's captured in Camera) & had to
deinstalled rarely used apps.
A colleague somehow managed to get a 512GB Galaxy Note 10 that was offerred as 'trial' but this is no
more in distribution: I reckon he will never need to "housekeep" but the fact that phone makers are
coming out with bigger storages mean there's likelihood of storage running out
