It’s great to hear that you’re enjoying your new Galaxy A56 5G overall, with its smooth performance, reliable battery life and clean One UI experience making it a solid upgrade from your previous Galaxy A53. We also appreciate that the Messages app notifications have not fully met your expectations, and we understand how important it is to have a clearly audible alert for texts, especially when your phone is in your handbag. On your UK Galaxy A56 5G, you can set a separate notification sound for messages by adjusting the app’s notification categories. Please try the following: Settings > Notifications > App notifications > Messages > Notification categories > Incoming messages > Choose a sound that is louder and more noticeable. This allows you to keep a louder tone for messages while using quieter notification sounds for other apps, such as email. We hope you continue to enjoy your Galaxy A56 5G and all the brilliant features it has to offer.
