Slack Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • S41NTsec CyberSecSaint (@S41NTsec) reported

    @mubix @SlackHQ What account/session does it run under by default? Is it part of the user session's slack or is it running as part of a system service?

  • IanVaughan uɐɥɓnɐΛ uɐI (@IanVaughan) reported

    @SlackHQ Well, actually its the other way round! Both the slack app and website say I dont have any open. But I am in talks with a support person atm about an issue. But meh, email comms with them is working fine.

  • turoczy Rick Turoczy (@turoczy) reported

    @AlwaysaGoodday1 @GIPHY @SlackHQ I seriously had "You look like a user error." all queued up to send, but then I decided not to do that. Because I like you.

  • danieloleary Dan O'Leary (@danieloleary) reported

    @Shpigford IMO, it's a UX problem. The @SlackHQ "also send to channel" option is pretty clever. Discord doesn't make it as easy to unthread

  • dviate Jermaine 🥜 (@dviate) reported

    @JeanPaulH @donroyco @SlackHQ I’m on five different Slack-workspaces, need to find out which one has which options every time. Sometimes I really don’t understand why Slack wields the "if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it"-mentality 😝

  • jackbremer Jack “Gusto” Bremer (@jackbremer) reported

    @SlackHQ WiFi while on the train, I don’t have issue with it not working, just the unclear messaging around it

  • sirireddy2212 siri (@sirireddy2212) reported

    @SlackHQ Desktop app, no error message it is just a lag and it is not specific to my app. I have cross checked it with others, they are experiencing it too.

  • gkatsev Gary Katsevman (@gkatsev) reported

    @SlackHQ I have version 21.05.20.0. Not sure if I'm on a beta version (I don't think I signed up a beta and it's not in the beta section of the play store) but that version does match up. Glad to see you're aware, looking forward to a fix!

  • gandhijimit74 Jimit Gandhi (@gandhijimit74) reported

    @RohunJauhar Agree with this completely, most startups focus on the problem & its scope to provide a solution to this irrespective of whether they have knowledge about the industry which can be learnt while building. Example: @SlackHQ

  • mcclure111 mcc (@mcclure111) reported

    @SlackHQ If this means we have Slack Connect I want to opt out of receiving messages from Slack Connect. If you're just showing an ad… that's less worrisome, if you're giving us a free service I guess I probably shouldn't complain if you show us ads for your stuff…?

  • alastairtanner al tanner (@alastairtanner) reported

    .@SlackHQ I now have over 20 slack accounts in my password manager... the game of "guess which login it is" increases exponentially, and is now intractable. it's not just me, right? :😐

  • BradEllis Brad Ellis (@BradEllis) reported

    @edwardsanchez @SlackHQ If only there were some sort of dev tool that could help us.... ;P

  • erfa1n ناقل اصلی (@erfa1n) reported

    @SlackHQ We have trouble communicating with our colleagues in windows and unix, even using VPN does not solve the problem. Where can we report the problem?

  • sudo_bmitch Brandon Mitchell (@sudo_bmitch) reported

    @SlackHQ Thanks for that, I was looking under the help menu (looks like I need my morning caffeine). The long press only allows to copy the whole message, and doesn't work if you first click the message and try to select part of the text. I'll submit that through the feedback. Thanks.

  • HaStry Hans Strijker ⭕😷 (@HaStry) reported

    @SlackHQ @RogervanValen Since the majority of phones in Europe use Android, and we use pretty much exclusively a 24h clock here, this is a rather odd decision to not only make this option not available to android users, but also fix it to a minority use case setting...

  • cheraghchi Mahdi Cheraghchi (he/him) (@cheraghchi) reported

    @SlackHQ on both Mac and iOS show the wrong unread count / badge all the time. Are these bugs unknown or do they just not care to fix those?

  • insyncwmyheart Kat (@insyncwmyheart) reported

    Is @SlackHQ down?

  • cheraghchi Mahdi Cheraghchi (he/him) (@cheraghchi) reported

    @SlackHQ On iOS, since forever (often there's a red dot, you tap on the app icon and then the dot goes away immediately). On macOS, today I see a red dot that doesn't go away even though none of the workspaces have anything unread, including any Threads. Quitting the app doesn't fix it.

  • FlyanRoyd Ry@n (@FlyanRoyd) reported

    @SlackHQ It’s on the mobile app, and no errors. App just crashes and I have to re-open it and type the full username out without clicking the short-cut.

  • _prosumer_ Rob (@_prosumer_) reported

    @SlackHQ When you drop iOS 12 support, people with an iPhone 6 will no longer get Slack App updates. But can they still use your service with the (then) outdated App?

  • pavgup Pavan Gupta (@pavgup) reported

    @krazyimran @SlackHQ I've found it to be the remains of a long winded, boring contemporaneous view of ridiculous things. That's half the problem with slack. It tries to be more than IRC.

  • lsmith Lukas Kahwe Smith (he/him) (@lsmith) reported

    I usually do my time sheets by running a search on @SlackHQ like “from:me on:today” .. but since a few days it is no fun, at least on my iPad, since all the messages are jumpled to wrong channel names, duplicated :( am I the only one running into this issue? lets see on desktop..

  • rehan3gupta Rehan Gupta (@rehan3gupta) reported

    The story of how @stewart set out to create games called “Game Neverending” and “Glitch” but ended up with @Flickr and @SlackHQ instead always blows my mind 🤯

  • fca_nikhil Nikhil (@fca_nikhil) reported

    @RashelHariri @SlackHQ @Shopify Okay, no problem 👍🏻

  • dioni21 João Carlos Mendes (@dioni21) reported

    @SlackHQ @stoneyvonowens Hi, sorry for reviving such an old thread. I found this googling for how to solve the same problem. It's not obvious that we can pull options from bottom! IMHO, this should be another visible button, together with the others.

  • gkatsev Gary Katsevman (@gkatsev) reported

    @SlackHQ seems like my slack app on my Android phone won't open github or twitter links. Thoughts on what I can do to fix it? Other links seem to open just fine.

  • AlwaysaGoodday1 Shane Johnson (@AlwaysaGoodday1) reported

    @turoczy @GIPHY @SlackHQ Looks like user error to me…. Polysyllabic much?🤡

  • jonesiscoding AMJones (@jonesiscoding) reported

    @oneunderscore__ @DevinCow Hey, @SlackHQ, are you comfortable with your service being used in this way? I’m not trying to cancel anyone or anything. Just wondering if your business is happy with how their business is utilizing your services.

  • grimsbeard Grimsbeard (@grimsbeard) reported

    Three products during my workday that if they go down I have a panic attack @SlackHQ @Spotify @Discord #DiscordOutage is real

  • kommie_p Ddddduummmb (@kommie_p) reported

    @SlackHQ Not a super massive issue for me as I only have few apps. The order is random every time I refresh the page even for apps in a single workspace, if this helps.
