Apple hasn’t chosen to include a safe-eject option in iOS/iPadOS. There reasoning and design decisions for this (or any feature) are known only to Apple Engineering.


Providing your attached USB Storage device does not employ write-caching, you should be able to disconnected a USB Storage device wherever the device is not being actively written to; it follows that you should ensure that a file-write has completed prior to a device disconnect.
