Having an issue with NOT being able to use chat. It started on Friday 5/9/2026 at 130pm. Chat was lagging and not delivering messages before chat stopped responding to existing chats.

Currently I am unable to respond or answer any EXISTING chats with this account via my android phone app.

I have logged into my account via a laptop and have absolutely NO issues with chat using laptop, web browser (on phone) or with a throwaway account.

I have cleared the cache, all data. Uninstalled app, reinstalled app, cleared the phone cache, restarted the phone and still unable to answer existing chats.

I cannot request an invite for chat with previous contacts. I cannot clear or hide any chats still left in my inbox

All of my previous chats have be deleted except those most recently active.

I can upvote, comment, post, and mod the group I belong to. Just have no ability to respond to existing chats..

Can anyone give me an idea of what has happened here? And how to fix it.

Just love this song.

I can't unlove you, nor can I forget you... And it has occurred to me that maybe just maybe it was you all along who was the glue that's kept me from falling apart, always:

~a need, a want or desire to be something more for you; because of you. You were always my own inner storm, the thoughts and feelings that willed me forward; that pushed me on and wouldn't let me give up.

~the only person I ever believed in, or felt I could count on; who'd move mountains, and cross oceans just to spend a quality moment quietly talking, laughing or crying with me.

No, I can't forget you. I wouldn't even try... I see you in every dream; hear you in every song; you are my first thought in the morning and the last at night, a memory, a snippet of time where I find myself right back here with you, next to me; as if it was just yesterday, or the yesterday before or all the yesterdays before that until it feels as if we never said goodbye...

~when in that moment all time stopped; stalled, refusing to yield even a faction of a second as it meant we'd have to surrender all we held sacred in one another....

That we'd be forced to leave words and feelings abaft, unsaid; thoughts and love unexplored or left behind seeking closure...

~but time is unforgiving and unfolds before us; like a paradox both standing still and moving forward all at once leaving us feeling foolhardy, and invincible; yet vulnerable and insecure even with my pockets lined with memories of love saved for days when I've needed you most...

Without your hope; your magic I am lost; left to my own devices; unwilling to be the first to admit it was I who gave up; I, who stopped believing in your alchemy and worst yet, how I have allowed myself to become the victim of my own mistrust and fear of rejection.

I cannot, however reach through the divide that keeps us apart. I can not break down the wall between us as it has grown thick with silence and I am not strong enough to carry the weight of our combined fear alone; without you I am left feeling unmoored as we drift further apart; aimlessly with miles between us in space, time and heart.

Each day is a fight as I struggle with the frailties of being human, weighed down in my own hurt; ego; and pride ... and time in all it's wisdom has betrayed and punished me for needing to step back; and now pushes me forward without you.

~where all those sacred snippets; songs and memories saved for rainy days have started to fade and have resigned themselves to the dusty corner in the back of my mind where they are left with themselves to linger as a constant reminder of my own desperation while trying to hold on to you...

~the you I knew...

I don't pretend to understand how you were feeling as you nestled, deeply ensconced in your quiet fear, afraid to let go of your vulnerability; hidden in that unseen cloak of shame, a part of you, you never let me see..

I know you're gone and I'm not supposed to care or wonder where or how you are...

And I know there'll never be another us as the distance between us has become too far, too heavy and too encompassing to ignore or overcome...

~but I had always hoped....

even if that hope was no more than a miniscule thread, there'd be a chance for us to overcome those fears that kept us at arms length.

~thinking.....

maybe I too could've been the glue that kept you from falling apart; but still, I remain hopeful that maybe one day we'll find the strength to address the elephant in the room; or perhaps find a crack in the wall between us big enough to squeeze an "I am sorry" through.

And although I haven't yet found the strength to reach out I continue to drop hints, and little tittles of what you mean to me, hoping if you came looking you'd find them and know these cantles and anamneses were always my reminder of you.

~the you I knew.

~the you, I never stopped loving.
