AirDropped Videos from Photos Save to Files Instead of Photos on Receiving Device

My app allows users to capture and save videos to the Photos app using the following Swift code:

PHPhotoLibrary.shared().performChanges {
                PHAssetChangeRequest.creationRequestForAssetFromVideo(atFileURL: fileURL)
            } completionHandler: { success, error in

Videos are successfully saved to Photos and play correctly. However, users report that when they AirDrop these videos from the Photos app to another device (e.g., iPad to iPhone), the videos are saved in the Files app on the receiving device instead of the Photos app. This issue is more common with higher-resolution videos, such as 2K, recorded in HEVC format at 30 fps.

I wasn't able to reproduce the issue locally.

I've found a thread in public apple forum: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/255276865?sortBy=rank but I wonder maybe there are some special flags that I should clear or add to my videos (e.g. PHAssetChangeRequest)?

Thank you!
