Is it possible to make it so when I take pictures in the iNat app they save to the SD card in my phone instead of the internal storage? I have barely any internal storage space on my phone, so it fills up after a few observations. However, with the default camera app (and other apps) I can choose i…

No I don’t. How would I install the app on the SD card?
