Have you done everything that the manual tells you to do to get started? A wild guess would be that you need to format the card.

I'll bet it did.

It is strongly recommended that you do not use a micro-SD card with an adapter in your camera.  The adapters seem to have intermittent connections between the camera and the card.

I also use the Rebel T6. You will be doing yourself a huge favor by spending some time with the manual. Download the full Instruction Manual. 

 

On Page 5 it states:

 

"If the card is new or was previously formatted by another camera or computer, it is recommended that you format the card with this camera (p. 52)"

 

On page 5 it also lists compatible cards.

So then what shall I use 😩 Never had this problem with Nikon. Only reason I switched is because Canon is supposedly better quality

You should use a full-size SD card. What does the card you're currently trying to use say on it?

As Robert said, only use a full size card.  I'm pretty sure that your manual makes no mention of "micro-SD cards".  I'm certain that the manual only mentions "SD/SDHC/SDXC memory cards." 

 

Only use micro-SD cards in devices that are designed to use them directly, without an adapter.

You really should spend some time with the manual, but at least here's a start.
