Choose notification sounds for individual apps

In this guide for iOS 18 (which my phone is on 18.3.1), there is this info:


Tap Sounds, select a sound, then tap < at the top of the screen.


But on my phone, the Sounds option is a Toggle, and I can only toggle it on/off. How do I select notification sound for a specific app? There are some apps with bizarre default sounds but it's important so I don't want to just turn it off.

iPhone 13, iOS 18
