Mobile Link between NX500 and iPhone

I would like to transfer pictures between my NX500 and iPhone 8. I have done this in the past but unfortunately it stopped working for quite a while now and I don't know what to do. On the camera I press the mobile button and select mobile link and a popup opens with the SSID and telling you to connect to this WLAN and open the app. On the iPhone I chose the NX500 WLAN. There is a green check sign next to it but on top of the display I still see "4G" - not sure whether this is normal. When opening the app it complains that there is no WLAN connection with the camera and just quits.

Do you have any hints or did it just stop working with some iOS version (I'm on 14.0.1)?

Re: Mobile Link between NX500 and iPhone

I think it just stopped working. The same thing happened with android, but thankfully I've still managed to get it working on that with some tinkering.

I would recommend getting an SD card reader that will fit directly into your iPhone. This would be many times faster than using WiFi, as it's not particularly fast on the nx500.

Ok, thanks for your answer! If it is broken then at least I don't have to try to get it working. An SD card adapter may indeed be usefull.
