Can't read SD card from my Android phone on MacOS (discuss.tchncs.de)

New MacBook user here, M1 Airbook here with the latest MacOS. I have an SD Card from my old Android phone. I'm trying to transfer some stuff from there to my MacBook. I'm using a SD card adapter, the card is readable on my Windows machine. But when I plug it into my MacBook I get an error it is not readable. I think the card is exFat formatted, though Disk utility says FAT32, either way MacOS should be able to read it.

Attached screenshots of the errors and disk utility.

Any help is appreciated.

don't they have a special file system APFS or Mac Extended or something? Does it need to have that to be readable?

APFS

I can a exFat USB drive just fine though.
