Yes — it can be a glitch or inaccuracy.
TikTok’s direct message stats (like ongoing chat days, messages sent, and friendship days) aren’t always perfectly tracked, and there are a few reasons why the numbers might look off:
✅ Possible Reasons for Mismatched Numbers
• TikTok didn’t count some messages
Sometimes messages sent before a certain update, or in archived chats, aren’t included.
• The “ongoing chat” counter resets
If there was a short period with no messaging (even a few hours), TikTok might not count it as continuous.
• Friendship days count from when you followed, not when you met
You might have known the person before you followed them, but TikTok counts only from the follow date.
• App bugs or caching issues
TikTok stats occasionally glitch or lag, especially after updates.
❓ Example Inconsistencies That Can Happen
• It says 124 messages sent, but you remember sending more or fewer.
• “3 ongoing chat days” even though you messaged intermittently longer than 3 days.
• Friendship days seem shorter than how long you’ve known them.
🧠 Bottom Line
Those stats are fun summaries, not always exact analytics. TikTok doesn’t officially guarantee they are 100% accurate — glitches happen.
If you want, you can tell me which part seems wrong to you, and I can explain specifically why that might be!
