Pokémon Go just can't stop making headlines recently. Although, this time it's for a really, really shit reason.

An update is wiping players' accounts CLEAN.

People have taken to Twitter to vent their anguish and (presumably) attempt to find any way to retrieve all of their hard work.

Don't fret though, there may well be a way to fix it.

Reddit to the rescue.

Some of them are saying that the problem is down to the app automatically logging into another Google account. To fix it, quit the app, sign out of Google services and log back into the app using the correct account.

If all else fails you can contact the game makers, Niantic, here.

Good luck.
