Can anyone please tell me how I can download apps to my sd card instead of the phone's memory?

Ugh, I'm such a dumbass, sorry! I have 2, Samsung S10 and Nokia 2.3. Both of them won't allow me to use the sd card. Even though I changed the S10's default location to the sd card, still not working.

Use SD card as internal storage

Another option that is now baked into Android (since Android Marshmallow) is to tell Android to treat your SD card as internal storage. This is called “Adoptable Storage.”

To do this, select Storage from your settings and then choose the SD card. Now select Storage Settings and select Format as Internal. As the name suggests, this will erase all data on your card so make sure it’s backed up! In Android Pie, you’ll be given the choice to move your content – including apps and media – to your newly formatted card.
