How to use card reader on Iphone?
Apple devices include iPhones, iPads, Macs, etc. The following are the methods of using a card reader on these devices:
Using on iPhone/iPad
• Wired card reader: First, insert the SD card or Micro SD card into the corresponding slot of the card reader. Then, insert the Lightning connector of the card reader into the Lightning port of the iPhone/iPad. If you are using an iPhone/iPad with a USB - C interface, use a USB - C to SD card camera reader for connection. After connection, open the "Files" app, tap "Browse" at the bottom of the screen, and click on the device name under "Locations" to view the content of the memory card.
• Wireless card reader: Turn on the Wi - Fi or Bluetooth function of the iPhone/iPad, search for and connect to the wireless network created by the card reader. Open the corresponding app or file manager to transfer and read the data in the memory card wirelessly.
Using on Mac
• Connect the card reader: Use the cable provided with the card reader to connect it to the Mac. If the cable connector is not suitable for the Mac port, try using an adapter.
• View the device: Open "Finder", and you can see the connected card reader under "Locations" in the sidebar of "Finder".
• Read and write data: You can drag files from the Mac to the storage device in the card reader, or drag files from the storage device to the Mac.
Precautions for Using a Card Reader with Apple Devices
● Compatibility: Ensure that the interface of the card reader matches that of the Apple device, such as Lightning or USB - C. Confirm that the card reader is compatible with the device's system version, as system updates may affect compatibility.
● Memory Card: Pay attention to the matching of the memory card specifications with those supported by the card reader. The memory card needs to be formatted as APFS, APFS (encrypted), macOS Extended (HFS+), exFAT (FAT64), FAT32, or FAT.
● Operation Norms: Insert the memory card and connect the card reader correctly to avoid forced insertion. Try not to unplug the card reader randomly during data transfer. Although an iPhone can be unplugged directly, for data security, it is best to do so when not in the process of data transfer.
● Data Security: When using a wireless card reader, ensure the security of the network environment to avoid data leakage.
