I have trouble communicating with Apple Support about how to access a BitLocker encrypted drive on my iPad Pro today. The stuff goes like this: I cannot open a USB drive that is encrypted by BitLocker on my iPad Pro 2020 with the latest updated version iOS 14.7, which doesn't allow me to enter the password to unlock the drive. I contacted Apple Support but they requested me to contact Microsoft, I did as they requested and Microsoft told me that it's an Apple issue to update their iOS so that my iPad will accept the password. I am deeply frustrated and is there is any resolution to this issue, please?
Hi there, BitLocker is designed by Microsoft and iPad is a product of Apple, so it's normal that your iPad cannot open a BitLocker encrypted USB drive. The right way is to unlock your BitLocker encrypted drive on a Mac because there is iBoysoft BitLocker for Mac allowing you to do so.
Or, you can connect your encrypted drive to a PC and then turn BitLocker off, and then use the USB drive on your iPad Pro.
