I have an iPad Pro 2020 and do a lot of photo imports with an SD card reader. In Photos, I always get an Import icon on the bottom of the screen when I insert the reader. Since IOS 14 was installed, I no longer get that or anything else that opens up. I did activate the sidebar, and was able to import by checking the Device selection. The Import option there did nothing. I can find nothing about this anywhere. Is this the new normal?
iPad, iOS 9
After speaking with Support, the workflow that ending up doing the trick for me was:
1) Open Files app and navigate to images on the SD (or external HD).
2) Select the images I'm looking to add to the Photos app.
3) Tap Share.
4) Tap Save (#) Images (appears beneath Copy and above Print.
5) Open Photos.
Iphone xs and ipad 2019 both on 14.1 and without any option to import (in photos/files app) from apple sd card reader 😒
Tnx, but on my ipad mini 2019 nothing happened when I inserted reader with card
Thanks for including us on this situation. It really sucks everyone has to go through this. Please keep us posted on this thread. I really need this resolved for my business to
That was very helpful. Thank you! I will just add the iPad has to be held horizontally (landscape view) for the menu to appear on the left side of the screen.
That’s ******** because mine is brand new... they are just using excuses
I just updated, and cannot import photos. I found the device sidebar, but still can’t import any photos I just took today. What am I missing?
My cards don’t have names. Put the reader in and it doesn’t recognize it.
i see the Import on the side bar but nothing happens.
Thank you saholz. I rebooted, then did your procedure. SUCCESS!
i had not done a shut down since the update. I think that may have been the issue.
Sidebar is on ipad, I'm not sure what to do on my iphone....
since updating to iPADOS14.1, I do not get an import option when i try to load photos from an SD card. What is going on?
I have found the devices to do imports but photos are not shown and import just ceased
This is getting ridiculous, problems with every update
Marbletiger, I still can’t figure it out. Do not see anything in sidebar that says devices, and no “browse” at bottom of page.
Weird mine works now
I’m having the exact same problem. I am so unhappy about this. I have done a hard shut down and restart to no avail. It just doesn’t work anymore .
Did you not do the update
Import option in Photos gone with IOS 14
