Insert and remove SIM and SD cards
About the SD card
Your phone supports an optional microSD card up to 2 TB (when available).
A Class 2, 4, or 6 card is sufficient.
Your phone uses the card as portable storage for media files: photos, videos, and music. Because it's portable, you can easily swap the card and its content between devices. After you insert the card, be sure to update settings within media apps (like camera, music, and podcast apps), so they use the card to store content you create or download.
You can't store apps on the SD card because it is portable storage.
