You can connect an external drive and transfer things like photos, videos and files to it.


You cannot transfer music from the Music App, or movies or TV shows from the TV app however.


It won't act as the iPhone's internal storage though, and you cannot transfer or install apps on it.


You can save movies and music from other sources and use the Files app or a third party media app such as VLC to access and play content from it if you want.
