We believe this is caused by a bug in iOS 18.4 and iPadOS 18.4, which should be resolved in the latest iOS 18.5 and iPadOS 18.5 betas. If you can run a beta on your target devices consider updating them to these betas.

If this doesn't solve your issue consider filing a feedback using http://feedbackassistant.apple.com, including steps to reproduce the issue and the OS versions of all devices involved.
