Apps · App updates after a move

Should I move apps that update very often, like web browsers?

Short answer: Usually not. Browsers and chat apps update constantly and work most reliably on your built-in drive. Move large apps you update and use less often.

Usually not. Apps that update very often — browsers and chat apps especially — are happier on your built-in drive: updates are most reliable there, and they don't depend on the drive being connected. They're also apps you open constantly.

Save relocation for large apps you update and open infrequently, such as creative suites, games or specialist tools. See which apps to move.
