You can do it using ANDROID DEBUGGING BRIDGE app .. you need to execute adb commamd

adb shell pm list packages -3 -i package:" Package " installer=com.android.vending

after this the app will get installed with App and Data in SD memory

present package name for whatsapp is com.whatsapp

refer to adb command to find package names

You can use Adb command to do that

no need to root

reference is adb shell pm command

prior to that run commamd

adb shell pm set-install-location 2 ( 2 means SD location adb meaning STORE APP INTO EXTERNAL MEMORY , to revert it back remove the 2 and execute the command )

this above command will force android to install apps into SD card

To trasnfer already installed apps to SD card you need to read more about adb shell pm command

You Cannot Move Whatsapp Into Internal Storage But You Can Shift All The Data To External Storage.
Go To Settings>Device Care>Storage>Storage Booster>Move Content To SD Card And Select Whatsapp.

yes it can be . android DEBUGGING BRIDGE command allows to move apps from phone memory to SD whether the app is non movable

command is

adb shell pm list packages -3 -i package:"package name " installer=com.android.vending

for whatsapp package name is com.whatsapp

adb shell pm set-install-location 0 means default as app manifest defined

adb shell pm set-install-location 1 means internal memory

adb shell pm set-install-location 2 means external storage

But You Have To Run An ADB Command ,Which Requires Time And For What Just That You Can Clear 60 MB From Your Phone.

Also A Normal Person Will Not Run An ADB Command, When 90% Can Be Achieved With Simple Change In Settings.

there are other apps available which do automate this in phone

and running adb is as simple as installing app from store. what you said will not move anything from phone memory to SD as Manifest of whatsapp never work such way , it will first detect the system global environment and if the install path remains as 0 than data and app will be there in phone storage
