Question: does the UMI iron automatically move application data to the SD card when main phone memory fills up? If so, is there any control over how this happens? I can only see how to write camera photos to the SD card but does not seem to work with other apps eveven if I set the SD card to be the default write disk in settings under storage. If not - can I use an app like folder mount for this? Also - any way to install apps so that they run from the SD card ? I am moving from an iPhone with 64 gb. Trying to figure out how to manage with 16 gb of internal memory plus SD cards. It seems like there are limits on what you can do with the SD card.

I think the internal 11-12GB is enough for all applications and such.
And I use the SD card for music, podcast, videos, etc. So for contents only.
I think this split work well.

Yes, you can use folder mount to move folders with big size content to the SD card, but not whole system folders. For example, you can't move the Android\obb folder but only the folders inside one by one.

Not so much for games. Also the podcast app inam using - fmplayer - won't let me download to the SD card for some reason.

That was just an example. You can move any folder that is not a system folder. The related app won't know about the storage change, since folder mount creates symlinks virtually keeping the original folder paths.
