Very disappointing Messages app!
Bought the A56 5g to upgrade from an A53 5g and am generally happy with the phone so far. Not many differences which is fine by me. However am very annoyed by the Messages app change! There is no way of assigning a separate notification to the Messages app which is very annoying! I can either have a small ping, which is good for other notifications like emails, or a loud one which I like for Messages but can't stand that going off every time I get an email!! I now keep missing messages because I can't hear it when the phone is in my handbag. Surely this is a total oversight on Samsung's part as it is a big step back and needs rectifying!!!!! Am very disappointed 😞

Love it!
I love a Samsung, I've always had them. Find them easy to use, battery charge lasts a long time (i don't play games on it!) Love the feel of it and the way you can make the keyboard bigger! Takes really clear photos xx
