I've read a few threads about 3rd party apps unable to write to sd cards. Is this present on the S III?

I've been trying a couple of 3rd party camera apps. All state they need to save to the SD card but none of them do. When I take a picture the apps just hang.
Do I have to do something special to let apps write to the SD card.
(I can create/copy files to the SD card using the files app)

Some apps seem to install to internal memory by default, and some to sd card if one is present.
Even more annoyingly however, many of the apps that default to SD card if you move them to internal memory MOVE BACK TO THE SD CARD when you update them.
Is there any way to prevent apps from automatically installing to the SD card? Or at the very least, installing to SD card is fine... but to prevent them from moving BACK to the sd card when you update them?
I've seen this question in 3 different topics on XDA and none of them is answered. My question is similar to this; Apps are installed on internal memory but app data is on external. As a result i have a completely empty internal memory and a full sd card. Tried possible suggestions on other sites but didn't work. Why can't we choose where to install the app data? How to move the app data back, since app2sd wouldn't work on this situation.
FYI, buy a bigger memory card is NOT a solution, it's a workaround for the actual problem..

Looks like your problem can be solved with "link2sd" which gives a permanent option on where to install apps. Search it in Google Play.
In my case (i have three different memory blocks) you have to do a repartition and a custom rom but i don't want to go there so i just mapped the drives with editing vold.fstab and bought a bigger memory card
I Just received my 32g class 10 sd card and want to get direction before I use it from the members here because I have seen several variations on how to use these cards.
What should I do with it? In the past I just placed it in the phone and copied my music, pictures and documents to the phone via the USB .
On the forum I have heard people formatting the card differently or partitioning the card so they can install apps etc.
What is the best strategy?
You don't need special formatting to transparently move apps or their data to the external card.
All you need is root and the 'Directory Mount' APK.
Hi,
My phone has been unable to detect the SD card on most apps,
The only apps unaffected are the file browser, galary, camera and a few other stock apps, otherwise every other app is unable to use the SD card. This all started when I used link2sd. Any thoughts
I have Realme 3, i want to move my apps to sd card but there is no option of moving apps in app management. Kindly guide me how to move apps to sd card?
I have tried many apps for moving the app and also saw options in settings but could'nt found anything.
