Aayush Desai (@Aayush0994) reported 9 minutes ago
@SlackHQ can you please fix the unread notification that does not go away even after reading the message? Thanks!
37chairs (@37chairs) reported 10 minutes ago
@jarredsumner @SlackHQ please no. slack absolutely does not need even one more feature. I realize this is more of a fix than a feature but pencils down, walk away, stop touching it.
Nanda Kishore Kapa (@dunlop9) reported 10 minutes ago
@SlackHQ This morning, I am not able to download files that were shared in slack. It appears to be a cloud issue. Can you look into it?
Parker Chun (@parker_chun_) reported 10 minutes ago
In all seriousness, would love some help debugging an issue @SlackAPI @SlackHQ
Anmol (@anmolarora_tw) reported 11 minutes ago
Not sure if it’s just me but uploading images on Slack has been super slow and there’s no progress shown and no clue what’s happening. At least a small progress bar would help. @SlackHQ
Santosh | Google Ads Rescue for Ecom (@ScaleomX) reported 18 minutes ago
@SlackHQ makes me miss a lot of messages, No notification even if I am marked @ Something is broken when you use it on both computer and phone. Anyone else facing this?
Oscar May • Quntem (@TheOtherSeru) reported 19 minutes ago
@SlackHQ That's not the issue, and it seems to be fixed now. It was the new feature to show only active channels, and it kept changing itself. But now it has fixed itself!
Slavko Kovačević (@realslavko) reported 21 minutes ago
@SlackHQ Fix notifications first
Jeremy Levine (@JerLevine) reported 26 minutes ago
@SlackHQ you guys have a gnarly bug and flow issue on iPad that makes the catchup feature (my fav ever) almost unusable. When I forward a message the app often crashes. If it doesn’t it moves me to the new chat (where I forwarded) but drops all the navigation so there’s no ability to get anywhere. I need to force quit and then restart slack to be able to navigate anywhere. Please fix! Can’t live without the catch up feature!

@AltKek420 @SlackHQ @salesforce 1. Are you using Slack or Teams? 2. What size company do you work for? 3. What are the main problems you face with Slack? 4. What is a recent bad experience you had with Slack? 5. Would you be open for design partnership to build with us our product to address your needs?
Navneet Sau (@navneetadsguy) reported 33 minutes ago
Hey @SlackHQ, I need urgent help regarding a subscription for one of the Slack accounts.
Jatin Saini (@AskJatinSaini) reported 33 minutes ago
@aouabch Most teams don’t fail to scale because of bad tools. They fail because every new tool hides the same old inefficiency. IMO @clickup and @SlackHQ aren’t the problem. It’s the illusion that organisation = progress.
Fabian (@ffabbianr) reported 36 minutes ago
@AmenaiSabuwala @SlackHQ This must be ragebait, right? You redesigned a Splash Screen into a login screen, those are separate things.

@SlackHQ Always good to see Slack doubling down on productivity, not noise.
Rushabh Shah (@beingrushabh07) reported 45 minutes ago
Hi @SlackHQ, I’ve been unable to launch or load the iOS app for the past few hours. I have already tried logging out and back in, as well as a full uninstall and reinstall, but the issue persists. This is significantly impacting my work could you please look into this?

Not a single day passes when using @SlackHQ on mobile where uploading multiple images, causes me to tap on the "record an audio clip" button, because "attach" button appears *after* selecting an image and slides the entire sheet up. @SlackHQ please for the love of god fix this!!
New Chapter Reprise Inigo Montoya (@BelmontJockey) reported 50 minutes ago
AVOID using @SlackHQ at all costs. The UI is TERRIBLE. I get random notifications under "Activity" and it is impossible to find. So there is a red bubble notification that will never goes away. It happens all of the time. FREAKING TERRIBLE! Impossible to track down.

@SlackHQ down?
Huseyin Emanet (@huseyinemanet) reported 53 minutes ago
I'm trying to download an attachment on Slack but it never finishes 🤔 The progress bar just gets stuck and I've been trying to copy the link to the file and open it in the browser to download it but now that's not working either. @SlackHQ @SlackStatus

@AmenaiSabuwala @SlackHQ I feel like people are at the login screens for not that long, I see why they only have their logos
