Some sounds disappeared on IPAD after IOS 18.4.1 update

This is not the first time that some of the sounds disappear after an update on my IPAD. The sounds I lost where both is some of the apps I use and also in the Sounds option in Settings.


I googled a few possible solutions and may have found one. This is what I did and it worked:

Go to Settings/General/Transfer or Reset IPAD (all the way at the bottom of the list)/Reset (at the bottom of the page).


After I reset it, all the IPAD sounds worked correctly. Good luck.

iPad mini 5, iPadOS 18

An addition to what I had posted above. When you get to RESET choose RESET ALL SETTINGS. It will not delete any of your data or files!! After the reset you will need to enter the WIFI password again. Additionally you may need to readjust your settings for things like "Screen Brightness", "Text Size", "Icon Size", "Siri" and any other features you may have adjusted for your own preference. Other than that the RESET absolutely worked. It is interesting to note that I updated both my iPhone and iPad at the same time. Only the iPad had issues.
