Hi Cyberatf,


Thank you for using the Apple Support Communities! I understand you are connecting an SD card to your iPhone 8 via an Apple-branded Lightning to SD Card reader, but you're running into an issue. I'd like to help.


When connecting an SD card to your iPhone via an SD card reader, you would use the Files app to review the content, as discussed here: Connect external devices or servers with Files on iPhone - Apple Support. Are these the steps you are following? If so, see if you can find resolution by following the suggested troubleshooting found within: Import photos using Apple camera adapters - Apple Support.



Best regards.
