Weverse Storage Full?
How to Move Videos to SD Card

"I was about to download the new Jimin Live, and my phone just... stopped. 'Storage Full.' I had to delete my entire camera roll just to watch one video."

If you are an active Weverse user in 2026, you know this pain all too well. Between Weverse Lives, Media posts, and the dreaded Weverse Albums (which auto-download high-res photos), your phone storage can fill up faster than you can say "Bangtan."

One Reddit user put it perfectly: "Weverse literally eats my memory with VODs. I had to delete three other apps just to update it." Another complained: "Support blamed my phone for having too low storage, even when I had 30 free GB. The app just keeps growing."

Sound familiar? You are not alone. This guide will show you exactly how to reclaim your phone storage, move existing Weverse videos to an SD card, and—most importantly—how to download future content directly to external storage so you never face this problem again.

Why Does Weverse Use So Much Storage?

Before we fix the problem, let's understand why it happens. The Weverse app stores several types of data on your phone:

• Video Cache: Every video you watch is temporarily cached. Watch 10 Lives? That's 10GB+ of hidden cache files.
• Weverse Albums: If you've bought digital albums, they download high-res photos locally. Some albums are 2-3GB each.
• Downloaded VODs: Official "Download for Offline" feature saves videos at max quality—often 800MB-1.2GB per hour of content.
• App Data: The app itself, plus updates, can weigh 500MB or more.

The worst part? Weverse doesn't let you choose where to save files. Everything goes to your internal storage by default. Even if you have a 256GB SD card sitting empty, the app ignores it completely.

Solution 1: Clear the Weverse Cache (Quick Fix)

This is the fastest way to free up space without losing any actual content. The cache is just temporary data from recently watched videos. Here's how to clear it:

This method can free up 2-10GB instantly, depending on how much you've been watching. But the cache will rebuild over time as you use the app. For a permanent solution, keep reading.

Solution 2: Move Existing Videos to SD Card

If you have videos stuck on your internal storage, you can manually move them to an SD card. This frees up space while keeping your content accessible.

Once moved, your videos will still be playable using any video player app. I recommend VLC Media Player since it handles all codecs perfectly.

Solution 3: Download Directly to SD Card (The Pro Method)

This is the ultimate fix. Instead of downloading to internal storage and moving later, why not download directly to your SD card from the start?

The official Weverse app doesn't support this. But there's a workaround: use WeverseSaver in your mobile browser.

Step 1: Set Chrome to Download to SD Card

1. Open Chrome on your Android phone.
2. Tap the three dots (⋮) in the top right corner.
3. Go to Settings → Downloads.
4. Tap Download location.
5. Select your SD Card from the list.
6. If prompted, grant Chrome permission to access your SD card.

Step 2: Download Using WeverseSaver

1. Open the Weverse App and find the Live or Media post you want to save.
2. Tap the Share button → Copy Link.
3. Open Chrome and go to weversesaver.com.
4. Paste the link and tap Download.
5. Choose your quality (1080p recommended) and tap the download button.
6. The video will be saved directly to your SD card!

That's it. No more "Storage Full" pop-ups. No more deleting apps. Your SD card can hold hundreds of hours of Lives while your phone stays light and fast.

What About iPhone Users?

Here's the bad news: iPhones don't have SD card slots. Apple removed that option years ago.

But you still have options:

• iCloud Storage: Upload your downloaded videos to iCloud Drive to free up local space.
• Google Photos: Install Google Photos and back up your videos there (free storage up to a limit).
• External SSD: If you have a USB-C iPhone (15 or later), you can connect an external SSD and move files using the Files app.
• Transfer to PC/Mac: Periodically transfer your downloaded videos to your computer for long-term archival.

The key is to not rely on your iPhone alone for archiving. Use WeverseSaver to download the files, then immediately back them up to the cloud or an external drive.

The Bigger Picture: Build Your Archive

At the end of the day, the "Storage Full" problem is a symptom of something bigger: we care about this content. We want to keep these Lives forever. We want to rewatch that birthday message from our bias in 10 years.

The solution isn't just about moving files around. It's about building a proper archiving system:

• Download with intention: Use WeverseSaver to grab the content you truly want to keep.
• Organize your files: Create folders by artist and date (e.g., "BTS/2026-01-JK-Live.mp4").
• Use external storage: SD cards for mobile, external hard drives for PC.
• Back up to the cloud: Google Drive, iCloud, or a NAS if you're serious about preservation.

The Weverse app won't store your memories forever. Servers get wiped. Licensing expires. But your personal archive? That's yours to keep.
