Updated my A7 Lite today with Android 12 and the apps on my SD card are no longer accessible. The update to Android 12 has basically killed the 'Move to SD' functionality which Android 11 had. If an app is moved to SD to fails with 'Not Enough Storage' error even though there's 10s of Gb free on the SD card. I've tried everything; formatting/mounting & unmounting card and even a factory reset assuming the SD card was the issue but it isn't. I copied back my music & ebook library to the SD card using my PC and they can be accessed / played / read without issue which further shows the SD card isn't the problem.
Solved! Go to Solution.

Agreed, losing the ability to use external storage for apps will severely cripple lower spec devices with card slots.
Thanks for the update - I will raise an error report too.
Do let us know if they fix it!

Exactly the same issue. Everthing great until Android 12 update then no facility to save apps to SD card.
Come on guys, sort this ***** out will ya!

Other devices seem to get around this by allowing SDcard to be used as internal storage rather than move apps to SDcard, however this does not seem possible either on samsung as the format as internal storage has been removed

Same problem here, also opened a ticket in Samsung Members so now we must wait.

I have submitted a report but it seems that a robot replies telling me happily that you can move apps (though not all apps) to the sd card when it is very clear that you cannot move any apps with android 12. Is there any point in continuing to talk to a robot ...? The definition of insanity is repeatedly doing the same thing and expecting a different answer ........

When first purchased apps could be moved, after the update, that was denied.
