How to use external storage devices with an iPhone and iPad in iOS 13

The updates to iOS 13 and iPadOS, scheduled for release after two months, will support the connection of external hard drives, as well as flash drives for iPhones and iPads (although Apple only talked about the availability of this feature for the iPad) However, it confirmed that it will work with the iPhone). By connecting a hard disk or flash drive, you will be able to transfer files freely between them and between the iPhone and the iPad. How will this feature work? And how do you transfer files to and from the iPhone or iPad?


Since Apple has provided this feature, it will allow third-party applications to import files directly from or transfer to the hard disk connected to the iPhone or iPad, so you do not have to use the files or pictures application on the iPhone or iPad and inevitably this will result. To speed up the workflow, allowing you, for example, to import your images directly into various Photoshop or video applications instead of transferring them to images and then importing them to a specific application. Of course, this will provide many applications supporting this feature.

Using an external hard drive or SSD with an iPhone or iPad will be simple, and in many cases, it will be easier than doing it on a Mac. Here's how to do it.
