About media cards
Depending on your BlackBerry smartphone model, you can insert a microSD media card into your smartphone to
take videos and increase the storage space that's available on your smartphone for storing media files such as
songs, ring tones, videos, or pictures. For more information about inserting a media card into your smartphone, see
the printed documentation that came with your smartphone.
Supported media cards
Your BlackBerry smartphone supports media card sizes up to 32 GB. Only microSD media cards are supported.
Turn on or turn off media card support
When you turn off media card support, your BlackBerry smartphone can't access the files that are on your media
card. This might be useful if you want to make sure that your files are saved to your smartphone's built-in media
storage rather than your media card.
1. On the home screen or in a folder, click the Options icon.
2. Click Device > Storage.
3. Select or clear the Media Card Support checkbox.
4.
Press the key > Save.
