Texting after update

Ever since the Gemini update pushed through on our 24 XC40 Recharge, the car will no longer read or send texts for me. Error something like " unable to access messages, please reconnect.... etc". I have reset all Bluetooth settings on the car, the phone, even factory reset the infotainment system, and countless other troubleshooting steps but it refuses to work. I can still play music via BT but this is very frustrating. I didn't even want the Gemini update and now I have lost a critical function / safety feature.

Anyone had this issue and figured about a fix?.
