Just wondering if anyone has had issues with the files app picking up external storage in the iPad OS 16 D Beta 1? Specifically SD cards. It will still read a Samsung T3 SSD, but will no longer read SD cards via a 3rd party SD card reader (have also tried an Ankor USB-C hub). This was not an issue in 15.5. Appreciate this is beta a and so a lot of bugs but wondering if they may have removed support for non Apple SD card readers. Has anyone else experienced this issue? Using an 2021 M1 Ipad 12.9

In iPad OS 16, I can read the card the first time I am in the files app but after if I copy or move files, it seems to corupt something and I have to put the card back in my drone and then back in the ipad (with a card reader) to be able to continue working.

Just tried this with a 3rd party reader and 256GB exFAT SD card from my camera. No problems reading it, removing it, and reinserting it. Did the same but with copy and delete; again, no issues. No problem detected when reinserted into the camera.

Edit: M1 12.9 on Public Beta
