Hi, I don't have enough storage on iPhone 11, IOS 26.1 or Ipad8,IOS 26.1,for the music I have on my M1 mac.
I have an ADDon pen drive I tried using but it needs an app which is not available on Appstore.
Any recommendations please for suitable flashdrive/app.
Thanks John
iPhone 11, iOS 26
With an adapter pretty much any flash drive will work.
Lightning to USB 3 Camera Adapter - Apple
Of course there are flash drives that are Lightning compatible and can plug in directly into an iPhone 11's port for example:
click here ➜ SanDisk iXpand Flash Drive Go - Amazon.com
or here ➜ PNY DuoLink Flash Drive 128GB - Amazon.com
It will need to be formatted as Fat32, exFat, HFS+ or APFS though.
You will also need some third party media player as the default Apple Music App has no way of accessing USB drives directly.
VLC is a good option.

You can also access the USB drive directly in the Files App and play compatible media there too.
click here ➜ Connect external storage devices to iPhone - Apple Support
Thanks and for the media player app , will give it a go
