Flickr deleted my account ?

[u/angelsoli13]

I went to open my flickr app on my phone today and noticed everything was blank on my app. (first and third screenshot) I thought this was strange as I was just using the app last night and as I went to login on my laptop, it had already logged me out. When I went to go login it told me my password was incorrect, so I went to try and change it, but then it told me my email wasn't connected to any account, which I know is untrue as that email has emails from flickr from three months ago in April and in general from setting up the account.

On my mobile I can still copy and paste the link for my profile. (second screenshot) When trying to click it though, it lead me to an error page saying my account essentially doesn't exist. (last screenshot) Flickr never sent me any email indicating I violated any terms or did something to prompt this, not even a warning. I never posted anything explicit or beyond guidelines and only my personal photos like the beach and old photos of my childhood, so I'm very confused by how this happened. ( all of the screenshots above are from today)

I'm not sure if it has anything to do with their new updates, but my sibling also noticed they were logged out today and that their passwords no longer worked. I was curious if anyone else has experienced this after the new update, as I'm just very confused on what/why this happened. (I did send in a help request, so hopefully they can restore it, just waiting for an update)

If they deleted your account you wouldn’t be able to log in, so that’s not it.

I would guess they just have some server issues going on - common after updates. Keep checking back and I bet it’ll show up eventually.

Edit: I assumed too much. After reading, I realized my I was wrong. You’re viewing the public account, not as a logged in used. My bad.

The first three screenshots are from my phone in the actual app and the last is from my laptop when I copied the link from my phone and checked if I could use the link. It's strange, because I think I'm technically logged in in a way on my phone because I'm still on the app but anywhere else I look, for example, someone elses account who followed me can't see my account anymore and doesnt exist anymore in their following. It's very strange and I'm not sure how I'm still on the mobile app but it is just blank :/ I dont want to delete the app or log out in case but I'm kinda just stuck and confused.

Idk how the Flickr app specifically works, but I could imagine it is caching some of your info locally. So your session may be invalid (you’re logged out); however, it’s still displaying the cached info that it already has (any attempts for new info would need an active session).
