AirDrop Sound change option has disappeared

Since iOS 16 I (and many others) have noticed that the option to change the sound for AirDrop has completely disappeared. When I search for the setting in the search bar it appears, but when I tap on it, it sends me to sound and haptics settings and there is no option for airdrop. Was this intentional, or just a bug? because iOS 16.1 didn’t fix the issue.

iPhone 13 Pro
