When you’ve been having some points with Slack, you’re not alone — the service’s status page experiences that “one thing’s not fairly proper” with messaging, apps, integrations, APIs, and connections. The problems, which appear to have an effect on threads, channels, notifications and group DMs, began round 9:40AM ET this morning and are nonetheless ongoing. Slack says that it’s “actively investigating.”
Right here at The Verge, the issues appear to manifest themselves in another way for various individuals; one in every of my co-workers described Slack as performing “funky all morning,” noting points with threads specifically, whereas one other reported that their notifications weren’t displaying up appropriately and that threads would load at random. For me, the app generally hangs when I attempt to load a channel, and it solely lets me scroll again a specific amount; the app additionally booted me out of the Threads display once I was attempting to sort a reply after which solely confirmed hours-old threads once I went again. One other colleague reported that their Threads display was damaged totally.
Whereas these points are annoying, they’re not fully work-breaking like full Slack outages are. Which may be why there’s not a ton of chatter about it on Twitter and why there are relatively few reports on Downdetector.com. However no, you’re not imagining that issues aren’t fairly proper; hopefully, Slack will get issues sorted quickly.
