I recently inserted a 128 GB SD card into my Samsung A14, and it showed up fine at first with just a tiny amount of space used. I decided to format the card through the phone's built-in option, but since then, my phone hasn't recognized it at all. Every time I try to access the card, it tells me it's unsupported and prompts me to format it again. I've attempted this around 20 times and also removed and reinserted the card multiple times. I really need the extra storage, so any help would be greatly appreciated!

It sounds like your SD card might be malfunctioning. Sometimes, formatting can cause issues, especially if the card was already having problems. You could try checking the card on another device or computer to see if it reads there. If not, it may be time to look for a replacement.
Have you used another device to see if the card works elsewhere? It might be worth trying to format it on a computer. Using a card reader can sometimes give you more options for fixing the issue. If you can't get it recognized elsewhere, it could be a dead card.
I haven't tested it on any other devices yet, but I formatted it directly via my phone. That might have been a mistake.
Is there any chance it was working fine before? I mean, did anything change with the card right before you formatted it?
