How do I install an android app directly to the phone storage?

Like, most people have this problem the other way around... But my SD card is full and my phone installs apps to the SD card by default. However, I still have like 3GB available in my phone's storage, how do I make the apps install directly to my phone?

    You don't. Android apps download to internal storage and install to internal store. AFTER the app is installed, SOME APPS allow you to move them to SD card - look in Settings...Apps and look at each app. If "Move to SD" is not grayed out then you can move that one.

    This is why it is important to get a phone with a decent amount of internal storage.

    Go to setting, then apps, you can move most apps between main memory and the SD card.
