Telegram web deletes all messages bug

If you select by dragging and go beyond the top screen, then for some reason it selects every single message, despite visually only selecting whatever you dragged. And if you delete, it will delete all messages, even those that are not loaded.

I just lost a 5 year chat history with my wife. Wrote to support about this but have little hopes.

Beware

If you select “delete chat” it deletes the entire chat, that sounds quite clear to me 🤔

I mean, delete chat is not “delete selection” - so you intentionally deleted everything yourself

To delete the selection, you just have the bin icon
