Research direction
Check the app's local data storage (e.g., IndexedDB, SQLite, or file system) for conversation backups. Search for files with .json or .db extensions in the app's data directory. Also look for any logs or error messages that might indicate where the data went. Investigate if the update process altered the storage schema or location.
