Can’t import photos from SD card into my iPad Air 3

I’m able to import photos ok onto my iPhone 7 which tells me that the SD card and adapter are working fine. When I plug them into my iPad nothing happens.


Looks like this this isn’t a new issue looking around the web.


Any work arounds from from anyone or fixes from Apple?


I bought an iPad to quickly edit photos while travelling, I’m now carrying the iPad as an extra thing to carry rather than something useful in my workflow.


Best,

Phil

Apple sells a lightning SD Card reader and it will work with your iPad. You may have seen the USB C card reader, which is not compatible with your iPad.


This is the one you want to buy: https://www.apple.com/shop/product/MJYT2AM/A/lightning-to-sd-card-camera-reader?fnode=a39844fa00645a80a1461c19ba75fceeca77682d57d8daf31d6616376483b9c8861a696bba16bd6c483f5f4d29f620e9cb1f79b2f69d259eb1c0b1c955a285929b4175c13b0c228d700fc51b53be18a0b308d3c8ce3d8b65706dd1902a272791ab0544b4906b36f122bf7aef076536ae
