The stories counter is stuck at 4116, and it does not change no matter whether I add or delete stories from my profile. Also, stories from the archive cannot be added back to the profile at all.
Hello. I have a problem with the Stories counter in my profile.
For more than a week, the total number of stories has been stuck at 4116, even though new stories are uploaded successfully and visible in my profile. The archive counter increases normally, but the main profile counter never changes, even when stories are deleted.
I also can no longer properly restore stories from the archive to my profile. When I try to move archived stories back to the profile, nothing happens — they remain in the archive and all changes are reverted.
At the moment, 424 stories seem to be stuck in the archive. New stories are visible after uploading, but the counter still remains at 4116. I also checked this from other accounts, and they all show the same number.
I tried clearing cache, restarting the app, updating Telegram to the latest version, re-uploading stories, and deleting stories, but nothing helped.
I understand that this is not a critical issue, but this account is very important to me because I use it as a personal archive for everything I like, and this bug completely breaks the organization of my stories.
Steps to reproduce
I press “Add new story” to my profile
I choose a video or photo from the gallery
I upload it to my profile
The story uploads successfully, but the total number of stories does not increase and remains at 4116
I delete stories from my profile
The counter still remains at 4116
I open the archive and try to add stories back to the profile that are only visible in the archive and not in the profile
Nothing happens — the stories still do not appear in the profile, and the stories counter remains at 4116
