Types of storage

Starting from Android 6.0, there have been some changes on how and where
downloaded apps and their data can be stored.

This is the internal storage which contains the Android system, preinstalled apps,
email, text messages, and cached data from the apps. You can also install apps that
you've downloaded and capture photos, videos, and screenshots to this storage.
