I just recently upgraded from the A14 5G to the A16 5G almost 1 month ago and I'm having problems with the phone. It doesn't seem to register my memory card. It was working fine and then all of a sudden quit working. But it works in my old phone just fine.

Use the SD Card Formatter tool:

If formatting through the phone doesn't work,

Could be file corruption during the card transfer...

The simplest solution would be to try a different SD card and see if the device recognizes that one immediately...
Or connect the phone to a PC via USB and see if the SD card is recognized that way...
