SD card readers problems

I used to use an SD Apple Card reader on both an iPad and also various iPhones. I just plugged in the sd loaded reader and the iPad/iPhone would automatically give me a couple of easy options. I haven’t managed Tod this for a while even with my new iPhone 12 and iPad Pro. Ive tried a couple of ideas on choline’s but no luck. I’ve also tried on another new iPad Pro. Still no joy. I think it all changed when around iOS14 . I’m completely up to date now with iOS 15:02:01 . Still no joy.

it’s very frustrating as I now have to put the sd card into a full on computer to make it work. It was one of the reasons I kept with iPads as it was so simple for uploading and editing.

does any one have any ideas?

With introduction of iPadOS the import photos prompt doesn’t now occur. Instead, you should be able to simply import using the native Files App.
