Help LG Stylo 2 Boost - App to SD?

[Frankie Baby]

I have a LG Stylo 2 (LS775) Boost running Android 6.0.1 and when I go to an apps settings I don't see any way to move it to my SD card. There's nothing there that says "move to sd" or anything.
Any ideas?
See attached.

Apparently android 6 removed that option. Which really sucks. So I kinda glad I haven't had to do the update yet

In Settings -> Storage, do you have the option to change your SD Card to Adoptable storage? That will allow you to format the SD Card so your phone sees it as internal memory.

I too have the above stated predicament of not being able to install or transfer already installed apps to the external SD storage card (64GB) in my new LG Stlyo 2 (Virgin Mobile) running Marshmallow 6.0.1.
There is no facility that I can find anywhere for it.
When I look in Settings\Storage & USB, it shows a line for 'Internal storage' and another under 'Portable storage' for the 'SD card' with an 'Eject' icon listed to the right.
If I select the 'Internal storage' line it takes me to summary's of what resides there including a selection 'Apps'. If this is selected it shows me what apps are installed, and when they are selected none show any facility for moving.
If I select the 'SD card' line it takes me to the folders that reside on the SD card. There is no 'Adoptable storage' anywhere that I can find. Is this a hidden feature? Is it really NOT POSSIBLE to transfer or install apps to the SD Card?
Is there any 'Play-store' app that can do this? I have already tried App-Manager ApptoSD and it does not list any moveable apps..
Does anyone know of an elegant, easy way of doing this?

I have used an app called 'Activity Launcher' once in the past to disable the KnockON feature of the phone. It was done following explicit instructions on how use the app to launch a hidden Android feature not readily available in the normal 'Settings' group to accomplished this. Does anyone know if it is possible to use this to achieve the 'Adoptable storage' feature??

Any help will be appreciated, thanks.

LG removed Adoptable Storage..but not completely.

You should be able to enable it through ADB. I did it for the Metro LG G Stylo and also for an LG G3.

No root required. Knowledge of ADB and the ADB/Flashboot program required.

adb shell
sm set-force-adoptable true
sm partition disk:179,64 private (or mixed 50 instead of private for 1/2 & 1/2)
sm set-force-adoptable false
sm list-volumes all

Just make sure to let the phone format the sdcard first before running the commands or it will do so & restart your phone.
Also if you go up under storage and see a "greyed out" usb card listing, just click on it and it will give you the option to "forget" it.
When you go back up under storage after these commands, especially if you do 50/50 or another percentage, that will show you it worked. If you do the entire card it will still show your internal as 16gb, and the size of your ext_sdcard, but when you click the 3 dot menu, the drop down will give an option to format as portable storage again if it worked.
You will not be able to move the pre-installed apps to sd card but this will give you room for alot more than what you had!
I'm stuck right now, caught the update.zip, downloaded it and its a full kdz for my BOOST Stylo 2 with 6.0.1, and I got a script for Terminal that will replace Kingroot's temp root with SuperSU but until I get LGUP recognizing my phone so I can flash in case of a problem, not taking a step further.
