Messages and notifications about gifts disappeared on December 31
Steps to reproduce
On December 31, starting at around 11:00 CET, I began sending gifts with New Year wishes to my contact list. The sending was done in bulk — around 100 gifts in total. At approximately 11:50, some kind of malfunction occurred in the web version: the page refreshed, and all of my messages disappeared for all contacts, including those I had not messaged that day.
It appears that the last 5–10 messages in each chat were simply removed. Only the messages from my contacts remained. In other words, it is visible that I wrote something and received replies, but my messages are no longer there. The gift images that appear in chats when a gift is sent also disappeared (I was sending New Year trees for 50 stars). As a result, some people did not even realize that they had received gifts, since the chat notifications vanished and users do not check the gifts section very often.
This is a very unpleasant situation that spoiled the New Year for me. Important messages were also deleted. I checked the data almost immediately in the mobile app and in the desktop application, but the messages were gone everywhere, regardless of the platform.
