OTG

OTG stands for USB On-The-Go. It's a specification that allows USB devices, such as smartphones or tablets, to act as a host, enabling them to read data from a USB flash drive, connect a mouse, keyboard, or other USB accessories directly. When an OTG cable is connected, the phone switches roles from a 'device' (when connected to a PC) to a 'host' (when connected to a peripheral).

You can connect a variety of USB devices, including USB flash drives, external hard drives (with external power), keyboards, mice, game controllers, USB card readers, and even some digital cameras to your OTG-compatible smartphone or tablet. This vastly extends your mobile device's utility.

Most modern Android smartphones and tablets support OTG. You can usually check your device's specifications online or in its manual. Alternatively, you can download a third-party app like "USB OTG Checker" from the Google Play Store to quickly determine if your device is OTG compatible.

While OTG is primarily associated with Android devices, newer iOS devices (iPhones/iPads) can support similar functionality with specific MFi (Made for iPhone/iPad) certified adapters, particularly for connecting USB cameras or certain storage devices. However, standard Android OTG adapters are not directly interchangeable with iOS devices due to different hardware and software architectures.
