Contacts removed after agent update?

I have reports from some users, that the locally stored contacts have suddenly disappeared, and the only thing I can relate it to is the agent update to 15.4.4, which happened on August 2nd.

Has anyone else experienced something similar?

And is it possible, that the agent update could cause contacts to be deleted from a device?

If the device agent apk is upgraded without involving running any inappropriate post-installation script, no contact information will be changed/removed.

Hi Raymond and AMMOD.

To be honest, I haven't given this any more thought since it was reported.
We haven't had any further reports of this issue, so I will write it off as a one-time occurence.

However, the agent is always auto-updated from Play Store when released, and we do not run any post-installation scripts, so it still isn't clear what happened.
Perhaps, this was not related to the agent upgrade after all.

Best, Stinus
