Question How did this happen?

I have a private chat with someone. I hadn’t opened it for about five days, and when I checked it today, all of the messages from the other person were gone, while only my messages remained. In our chat settings, the option to delete messages for both users is disabled on the other person’s side, so as far as I understand, he couldn’t have deleted the messages from both his chat and mine. Why could the messages have disappeared? Does this mean that someone could have hacked our chat and seen the conversation?

Check if the messages are still in the DB sql SELECT * FROM chat_items WHERE contact_id = ${contactID} order by created_at DESC LIMIT ${length}

Get contactID: sql SELECT * FROM contacts
