need to free up phone storage space, you can also move certain apps to
the storage card, if the apps support this feature.

do a factory reset, your phone loses the apps. You'll need to
reinstall them.
§When you remove the storage card and insert it in another phone,
the apps on the storage card won't be installed automatically to
the other phone. You'll need to reinstall them.
