Using an SD card on the moto z3 play
Whether its images, music or videos we know that the most important stuff on people's phones is stored in the user memory.
The moto z3 play allows you to expand your memory by using a micro SD card. Your phone supports a microSD card up to 2 TB (when available).
A Class 2, 4, or 6 card is sufficient.
The 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.
To insert a memory card:
- Insert the tool into the hole in the tray and gently push to pop it out.
- Insert or remove the cards as needed.
- Push the tray back into the phone.
You can move media from internal phone storage to your SD card, easily remove the card to transfer content to other devices, view the storage space available, and erase all content to start fresh.
