GeneV, no, it seems that it can still happen on iPad OS 14..
I came on here to warn others about iPads and SD cards but did a quick search first and find out that it already is a problem.
I have an iPad Pro, already on iPad OS 14 and just had photos corrupted after using the iPad Files app. I usually make sure to close down Files but I haven’t had this happen before so I’m not sure if I was too quick removing the card reader this time.. But there is no option to safely eject anything on the iPad.. In my case it is a few, not all, photos that are corrupted and not the card itself.
Thanks for the tips here, will try locking the SD card next time.
Question, I have several photos that are still on the card but seem to be corrupted. They don’t show as thumbnails and don’t open, is there any way of recovering them? The SD card is still readable, tried Recuva but they aren’t deleted so that didn’t help. Pc methods are preferred since the only Apple things at home are two iPads and those in the fridge.
BDPA77, happy it worked out for you, still wouldn’t hurt to be careful on removal
