PICTURE THE SCENE: You’ve been on Tinder for ages, building up an impressive collection of matches to potentially flirt with for the craic.

And, in a split second, they are all deleted from the app.

That’s what happened last night

Whoops!

We couldn't find this Tweet

Everyone’s Tinder matches just disappeared

Whoops!

We couldn't find this Tweet

And people weren’t handling it all that well.

It was just so unexpected

Whoops!

Out of the blue, what were you supposed to do on a Monday night?

Tinder confirmed to Mashable that all the matches that disappeared would be restored across the board.

That’s all well and good, but it couldn’t stop the panic

Whoops!

We couldn't find this Tweet

Whoops!

We couldn't find this Tweet

Whoops!

We couldn't find this Tweet

But just as panic was hitting fever pitch, Tinder stepped in with a message and a cute GIF to take away the worries

We're back! If it looks like your matches are gone, don't worry! Just log out & log back in - they're still there :) pic.twitter.com/dfWNlygIHS

And they returned to the phones of Tinder users everywhere

Whoops!

We couldn't find this Tweet

Relief, ecstasy, and the desire to swipe swept over them

All my tinder matches are back,
My many future husbands have returned to me
