Apple SD Card reader is not working.

Restarting doesn’t fix anything. Forcing a restart doesn’t either. And asking me to do these simple stupid steps is insulting really.

Just checked the same card reader on an iPhone XR using iOS 16.4.1 and that DOES work. So what can be up with the iPhone 11 on 16.4.1?

Although this method allows you to view your sd card, it seems to only allow you to place a copy of the photos on the iPad, it’s not a true import of photos. Which is not at all cool for photographers.

Thank you very much for this information! I don't understand Apple at all! Why get rid of a feature everyone knows?! I have always transfered my videos via putting the SD card adapter in, going to photos and then import. Don't understand why they all of a sudden removed that feature and instead force you to go through iCloud.

Once again! THANK YOU very much for this info!

I’m really disappointed I love my iPhone 14 max and my old android had no issues reading SD cards but that’s not the main issue. The main issue is. I’m a SPV drone pilot that relies on my SD card footage and this is extremely extremely infuriating is the word I don’t even know how to explain my iPad and my iPhone. I have tried four different brand new SanDisk Extreme 128 GB the a2 so I know it’s more than enough quality, and it will detect one out of four of my adapters, and then, as soon as I format a new SD card brand, new out of the box, and record some thing (this is also done with a new butt well used and a day before on my android so the only variable is the iPad phone/iPad. This is costing me money literally by the hour! I don’t know what to do I did all the rebooting and brand new SD cards brand new everything I am at a loss. Please contact me if even possible.

Hi Cuong777, thanks, but this doesn't work for me at least. There is no icloud drive specific 'browse' there is only the files browse option which is what you're pointing to, this just gets back to the main dashboard which still doesn't show anything

I tried everything new sd cards and new sd card readers and it wasn’t off brand readers it was apple it self I had a bunch of money involved in it just trying to figure it out they want me to go to the store so they can run test

This worked for me, too! I just attached the reader with the card in it, then opened the photo app and at the bottom of the screen, imported showed up. clicked on import and it started to load in all the photos. All these other instructions made no sense to me. The files app didn't have anything labeled iCloud and when I clicked Browse, nothing happened.

Any update sir ? I use a go pro and sort through it via a small adapter instead of using my computer and now all of a sudden mine isn’t working anymore either

This does not work.

I still use my poor man dongle idea and it works for me , maybe I’ll try again since the small update and a reset

Have you found any solutions for this problem???? I’m so frustrated with same problem

I'm having the same problem, however, there still is not a "no name" option for me when I go to the browsing option. Has anyone else experienced this? I'm getting pretty frustrated.

I also don’t have the “no name” option in the browsing option. Beyond frustrated too!

I do not have a “no name” or “untitled” option in my iCloud Drive Browse?
