Accessing Photos on a Tablet or Smartphone
Many modern tablets and smartphones have USB ports or support USB On-The-Go (OTG) adapters. Connecting the PhotoTitlis USB drive should allow you to view photos directly through the device’s photo gallery or file manager app. Android devices often require a file manager app to access files on external drives.

Troubleshooting
If the drive is not recognized, try these steps:
- Check the connection: Ensure the drive is firmly inserted into the USB port.
- Try a different port: Sometimes, a specific USB port may malfunction.
- Restart your device: Rebooting can often resolve connection issues.
- Check the file system: If you’re using an older device, it might not support exFAT. Reformatting the drive to FAT32 on a computer may solve the problem. However, be sure to back up your photos before reformatting.
