Moving photos from mobile phone gallery on to SD card
Hi Folks
I have an A3 Samsung Galaxy 2017 edition phone. I want to transfer some of my photos from the gallery to the SD card in order to free up space. However, Instead of moving over, the images get copied on to the card, so I'm ending up with 2 copies.
Can someone kindly let me know here I am going wrong?
Thank you

I'n not sure you're going wrong, but once you've confirmed they're on the SD card, you can delete them from the phone memory? You can have unlimited photo storage with Google photos (reduced file size but good enough for most uses). Makes sense to back everything up elsewhere - I've lost stuff with corrupted SD cards in the past1

Yes use Google photos
Also after copying them to SD card. Open Google photos and click 'free up space' . This will clear your phone memory0 -
Cut and pate not copy and paste works for me .
possible though that its an Android problem something rings a bell around Android 5 .
