Maybe this was an WP7 feature which still had backwards compatibility.
My personal knowledge starts with 8.1. At least since 8.1 - so practically any relevant phone sold or in use today - the SD card has a hidden encrypted partition which holds apps moved to the card and a public partition for user data (photos, downloads, audio, video etc). This public partition with userdata is not encrypted and can be read at any device.
In the coming W10M update it's possible to encrypt the whole card again, so e.g. photos are protected.
- morganvachon 10y agoYou know what...the same card has migrated with me from WP7 to 8.0 to that 8.0 device being upgraded to 8.1 then 10. Still, I had to put it back in that last device to get it unlocked for use on my current phone (Lumia 650). Otherwise the phone refused to recognize it, wanting to immediately format it, and ditto my Windows 10 and Linux desktops. On Linux at least, it did show two separate encrypted partitions, so given what you said that makes sense.
