All airtags stopped displaying "Play Sound" and "Locate" after my iPhone updated.

After my iPhone 14 Pro Max updated to 18.4.1, the FindyMy app doesn't show the "Play Sound" or "Locate" options anymore for all of my airtags. I don't think it's a battery issue, as these airtags are only 3 months old. The option isn't "grayed out" - it just doesn't exist anymore in the airtag Items screen. I only have "Directions," "Share AirTag," and "Notifications." Not sure what happened?

MacBook Pro 16″, macOS 15.4

[FIXED]

According everything I found online, there have been multiple reports of this happening after updating to iOS 18.4. I simply restarted my iPhone, and all the standard options in the FindMy app returned. Hopefully this works for other people.
