Formatting SSD with APFS
I only have iPhone and iPad Pro. How can I format my SSD if I do not have access to a MAC? I do not want to use exFAT because several reviews say it will not show photos after a while…
iPad Pro, iPadOS 17
Should formatting and/or partitioning of external storage devices ever be required, this must be performed using a separate computer - such as a Windows PC or Mac computer; iPad does not provide any facility to format an external storage device.
To be recognised by iPadOS, the attached USB storage device must be formatted to FAT, FAT32, exFAT, APFS or HFS+ with a single partition. Microsoft NTFS and other proprietary device formatting are not supported.
