I cannot see the messages I sent to new Contacts (Freelancers)

[77b02a06]

When I could not find the messages I sent for the first time, I though it was due to I was sending messages to 2-3 people from my cell phone, then I checked on laptop - no messages, then I sent messages to few other new people I found for my project, again no new messages in the message history. This is happening for last week or so. I stil lcan see all messages I send to existing conversations, but no new conversations on the message page.

Now I'm not sure whether Freelancers got my messages at all at first place, sounds like they did not get anything, otherwise at least some would reply back and I could see the conversation. If this is the case it means I cannot make any new contacts with upwork now.

Please help me to figure out what it going on, this is very critical for me.

Hi Sergey,

I'm sorry to hear that you are experiencing trouble with your messaging. I know that this is important to be able to discuss with your freelancer about your projects. I want to confirm, are you experiencing the issue using the Upwork App or through the web browser? If it's the former, have you checked if you're using the updated version of the App? If it is the latter, please try rechecking your messages after clearing your cache and cookies. If the issue persists, please let us know so we can further investigate. Thank you!

I have updated the App, and on laptop I switched to another Browser (Safari) - no luck, I still cannot see the messages I have sent to new people.

I just sent another few messages to new guys using Safari browser, same - cannot see thoese messages in the message history. So this is not related to browser cache 100%.

I literally cannot contact new people - please fix it ASAP!

The problem still exists, please help me to resolve it, I cannot contact new people.

I'm sorry to hear that you're experiencing issues with sending and receiving messages on Upwork. There could be a few reasons why you're not seeing your messages in your message history, including technical issues or platform updates.

Here are a few steps you can take to troubleshoot the issue:

1. Check your internet connection: Make sure that your internet connection is stable and strong. Poor connectivity can affect the delivery and receipt of messages.

2. Clear your browser cache: Clearing your browser cache and cookies can help fix some technical issues with the Upwork platform. Try clearing your browser cache and cookies, and then log in to your account again.

3. Check your spam or junk folder: Sometimes, messages can end up in your spam or junk folder. Make sure to check these folders to see if any messages from Upwork are there.

4. Contact Upwork support: If none of the above steps work, it's recommended that you contact Upwork customer support for assistance. They can help investigate the issue and provide you with more information on what may be causing the problem.

It's also worth noting that if you're still able to see existing conversations but not new ones, it's possible that the new messages are being delivered to your existing conversation thread rather than a new one.

I hope this helps, and please let me know if you have any further questions or concern
