Tech giant Google has rolled out an update to resolve a severe glitch in its Google Messages application that caused old and unrelated chat logs to appear in new conversations and, in some cases, be sent to incorrect recipients.
Reports indicate that affected users faced the issue for several weeks, particularly during data restoration while transferring messages to new devices. Users reported that the application inadvertently attached legacy texts or media to newly initiated conversations, leading to privacy concerns as old messages were dispatched to unintended recipients. Google officially acknowledged the flaw, confirming that a permanent fix has been issued and will reach all users globally over the coming weeks. The company strongly advised all Android users to update Google Messages to the latest available version immediately.
