A friend of mine got herself a new Xperia 10 and wants to encrypt the SD card. It seems this option is no longer available - previously there was a “Encrypt SD card” option in settings - but no more. Apparently it was also possible to use the SD card as “Adoptable storage” - but no more.

Is it at all possible to encrypt an SD card on Android (15) or is de-googling the only option?

    Maybe it has to do with how the card is setup. For example if the phone believes it’s a portable device versus something for internal storage it might not provide the option in case someone encrypts the card not realizing they will need decryption software on other devices they want to use it on.
