No sound for email notifications on iPhone 15 Pro after iOS 18.4 update

After the 18.4 update, I no longer hear sounds when I get an email. Notifications appear on screen, but no sound.

Was just able to resolve this issue on my iPhone 15 Pro running ios 18.4. Try this:

Delete and Reinstall the Mail App

Tap and hold the Mail app icon from your Home screen to reveal a Delete App option. Tap that to remove the app, then restart your iPhone.
After your iPhone starts up again, download Mail from the App Store.
You may also need to return to the Passwords & Accounts settings to turn Mail on for each of your email accounts again.
Go to Notifications and check to see that “Allow Notifications” is turned ON for all eMail accounts.
For safety make sure iCloud Backup is still active as well (for some reason it was turned off after updating to the latest ios a few days ago and I was unaware of this issue).

Agreed, hopefully 18.5 will fix this.
