I have OnePlus 5T 8GB RAM + 128GB internal storage. 100GB free space is available on phone. I rooted the device.

Now, I am facing a problem regarding installing apps from Google Play Store. When I try to install any random app, it's showing

App Requires External Storage

[app name] can't be downloaded. Insert an SD card or USB storage with sufficient storage, and try again.

And also no apps are using Internal Storage for storing the data like Camera, WhatsApp, etc. I am even not able to download and see the WhatsApp images or any document shared and not able to download anything from Chrome too.

How to solve this issue?

  • The support link is dead and additionally it contains the term android-one. Are you sure you only rooted the device and not installed a different customROM on it? If you are running a customROM then I would assume that this is just a bug of the ROM especially as it happens on "any random app".

  • The wording "External Storage" in context of android apps actually means Internal Storage /storage/emulated/0 maybe the symlink /sdcard is missing. at least it's a bit strange you tagged question Magisk but in comments it's about SuperSU
