No brands support it because NTFS is Windows format and supported only on Windows. exFAT 32 is supported on all devices.

No, it doesn't work on any phones as NTFS is Windows format. I have tried with many brands and the same issue.

Ig you will need some different file manager app which supports NTFS format
.
You will be able to read/view things, but not write.

This process can be carried out via an app Total Commander which is still in development stage i.e. beta stage to be precise. You will also need a USB plugin for Total Commander developed by Paragon.
After you are done and dusted with the installation process, connect your NTFS formatted drive to your device and open the USB plugin for Total Commander (just in case it doesn’t open by itself).
I inserted a NTFS formatted drive. The USB Plugin detected my drive and provided me the option to mount it. Tick the enable write mode option.
Next press on the Open Total Commander option.
So finally you can see the drive showing up in Total Commander (Total Commander is basically a file manager/explorer software). You are now ready to enjoy the content of your drive.
NTFS formatted SD card won’t work though.

If helpful tap the three dots on the right and accept solution
