After updating into IOS 16.1, Apple SD card reader is not showing neither in Photos nor in Files. But my iPhone which is 11 pro 256 GB is detecting the SD card reader in the About section of the settings. I am a photographer. This is very important for me to work. Please help !
iPhone 11 Pro, iOS 16
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 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 isn’t really a very helpful answer as it seems that Apple have either removed or crippled support for the lightning SD card reader in iOS 16.
Some people seem to be having success with certain workarounds, such as restarting their phone then browsing in the files app, but this doesn’t work for everyone, including me.

Solutions along the lines of “update your phone to latest iOS”, format the card (not helpful if you have media on it) and do a factory restore are not helpful. The problem is defective software updates.
I have the same problem with my iPhone 10, iOS 17.1.1. Insert and reject the SD card multiple times does not help. The SD card and reader work on the iPhone 6. End up restarting the iPhone 10 to make the iPhone 10 recognize the external drive.
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.
The automatic import to the photos app no longer works. This worked for me...iPad Air3 IOS 17.3.1
Copy the pictures into a folder on the SD card if you are using a PC as the source, a camera will automatically put the pictures into a folder. Plug the SD card and reader into your iPad, open the files app, there should now be a folder called "untitled" or "unnamed". Open this folder, you should now see the folder containing your pictures. Open this, all your pictures will be displayed as thumbnails. Select/select all the ones you want. Hit share at the bottom of the screen, then select save image. This will save the images onto your iPad and make them visible in the photos app.
I also had the same problem. My iPhone 11 OS 16.2 did not recognize 5 different SD cards through my SD reader. Very frustrating.
What s update, Can you detect sd card right now?
I am using apple sd card reader still not working on iphone 14 pro max with IOS 16.2
Actually, I turned off my iPhone and then turned it on. Plugged my sd reader and then added the address card and now it’s working. I can see photos in the photos app and the files app.
Apple so card reader will not communicate with my iPad
click untitled in files app under browse and it will be under that tab.
Hey it works, just turn off your phone then click files and you’ll see there’s NO NAME
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
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
I solved this problem.
for me, I downloaded SD Card Formatter and did a full format of the card. Now it’s being read again.
Have you found any solutions for this problem???? I’m so frustrated with same problem
