SanDisk External Drive Not Recognized Properly on iPhone 16 Pro with iOS 18.1, Works Fine on iPad

I am using iOS 18.1 on an iPhone 16 Pro. Although I am using a SanDisk external hard drive, the iPhone’s Files app is not recognizing the drive properly, and video files are not playing well. However, everything works fine on my iPad. Could this be an issue with the iPhone's OS?I am using iOS 18.1 on an iPhone 16 Pro.

The same occurred with me (i'm using an iPhone 15 Pro and my SanDisk external drive works well with my MacBook).
