Ever since I updated my 16 pro max to iOS 18.5, when downloading files from Safari, the file doesn’t go to the Files app! I have to press the download button on Safari to retrieve the file I downloaded. Anyone else with this issue ?

I've set my Safari download location to "On My iPhone," but the setting does absolutely nothing. Files don't save there. They get stuck in a temporary Safari cache, forcing me to manually use "Share > Save to Files" and then navigate back to the folder I already set as the default.
This is a broken workflow. Why offer a setting that is completely ignored? It's a bug that makes users think their downloads have disappeared.
Still broken for me 5 months later...
