We should note that we haven't faced this issue ourselves after the Galaxy A56 update. As such, we couldn't test this solution.
The problem could affect only specific carriers or might be an issue only in select countries. Either way, a Samsung Community member who posted about this issue last week confirmed that the solution works.
The Gemini update is also rolling out to other Galaxy A phones, but we haven't seen any reports about them facing this problem.
