WD My Passport Format Problem (High Sierra)

I'm having some trouble formatting my WD my passport in High Sierra.

I did not purchase the Mac version of WD external hard drive, and was wondering if it can be formatted to JHSF+ or to the new APFS film system. I don't want to use exFAT or FAT32. Currently it seems to be formatted to exFAT.

But the problem is this.. I am unable to format or rename this disk. Not even to exFAT or FAT32..

anyone help?.... please.....

Many thanks, I was desperate all because I was selecting the title and not WD Elements.

Yes it is resolved. Did you read the thread? You format at the device level not at the volume level.
