In most cases, you can simply unplug a USB drive from your phone without any issues. However, properly ejecting it can help ensure everything saves correctly. In this guide, we’ll go over the best practices for safely disconnecting your photo storage USB drive, so you can keep your files organized and protected with ease.
iOS
There is not an eject option in iOS to eject a USB drive from an iPhone or iPad.
It is safe to simply remove the USB drive from the iPhone as long as it is not in use.
While not necessary, I would also highly suggest fully closing the ThePhotoStick Omni app after you are done using it.
- From the Home Screen, swipe up from the bottom of the screen and pause in the middle of the screen.
- Swipe right or left to find ThePhotoStick Omni app.
- Swipe up on the app to close it.
