How are they both formatted?

Try formatting your USB stick to fat32.

How will that help the OP's tablet recognize their USB stick?

Have you tried the stick in another device? It may have gone bad. If you're able to use/access it in a different device, that will help us troubleshoot.

Well I'm using it on my laptop, with ubuntu 18.04 , I've formatted it to FAT, and the tablet still not recognizing it...

If the stick failed in another device, we'd have a clear idea of what's wrong--the stick. But since that's not the case, I'm not sure what else to suggest. Maybe trying it in another Android device? Just to see what happens. The problem could be with the tablet.
