Why Don't The Apps On My Galaxy S7 Stay On SD Card?

Why do apps that have been moved to the SD card constantly move back to the phone storage?

It seems that after every app update the apps migrate back.  I have to constantly move the apps back to the SD card to preserve my storage capacity since nearly 16GB of the 32 GB are already utilized from the get-go.

How do I get apps to remain on the SD Card?

LIOROM99, thanks for reaching out to us and I know how important it is to save applications to your SD card to save space on your device. When an application is updated, it installs a new version of the application to the internal storage. Applications are installed to internal storage by default and this is completely normal when you update an application on the Android operating system.
