Fix

Updates had been slowing down because of uni but don't worry the app is still being developed, thanks for the support <3

Quick Fix

There were some errors when transitioning from the old version of chats to the new version. I apologize if this caused any corruption in your chat history. This should be the only time such a transition is needed.
