Steps to Download BlackBerry Apps to a Memory Card
One of the most used functions on Blackberry phones are the large number of apps, or applications, that can be downloaded. However, these apps can take up a large amount of device memory in turn slowing the Blackberry down. One solution to this is to download, or archive, your apps to a micro SD memory card. There are some quick and easy steps that make this possible and can improve the phone’s functionality. So if you are a app abuser and would like to do this, follow these steps below:
NOTE: You will need App World version 1.1 or higher
- Buy a micro SD card for your device if you do not have one already. For more information on which one to get, see micro SD cards for Blackberrys.
- Update your Blackberry App World to version 1.1 or higher. Older versions will not allow you to archive or download the apps to the micro SD memory card.
- Download any app or apps that you plan on using in the Blackberry App World. If you already have your apps downloaded, proceed to step three.
- Choose “My World” from the main screen in order to view your downloaded apps.
- Scroll to the app that you would like to archive or download to the micro SD memory card. Select your menu button and choose the “Archive” option. This will begin the download and archiving process. Your app will be uninstalled from the device memory and transferred to the SD card.
- Reboot the Blackberry if requested. Some apps will require this step while others do not.
- Restore the app that you saved to your micro SD memory card. You should be able find your archived apps in the Downloads folder or on the home screen. The archived apps will have a green arrow on the icon indicating it was downloaded to the memory card. Select the app and then select “Restore” from the menu.
TIP: Store your music and pictures to a micro SD card to free up even more memory.
