Slack is down: When it will be up and why you can’t contact with the rest of your team
The cloud-based team communication platform is down and won’t let you contact with your peers. We look at how you can find out about its status and problems.
If you’re a Slack user, you are probably experiencing problems like not getting a message from your team. And no, they are not ignoring you this time, and all indications are that the service is down.
Slack users have been reporting problems for the past hour, according to the Downdetector platform. The issues started around 10:00 am ET this morning, but have increased over the past few hours. Below you can see how service issues have been reported to Downdetector:
Slack’s official Twitter / X account has not yet commented on the matter and no statement has been issued, but that could be a good sign. Maybe they think the connectivity issues will be fixed quickly and it’s not even worth making a statement. For the time being, Slack’s own status page shows that there are some incidents related to Login, Connectivity and Messaging, among others.
When will Slack be up and running again?
Given the importance of the application to the business world and the blow to Slack’s image, the downtime should not last too long and it is likely to be a matter of minutes before they are back up and running.
You can follow any updates on the status of Slack from the application’s status page and from the Downdetector website, a site where users report problems and outages broken down by operator, time zone of the alerts, and geographical areas. There, the current crash has already accumulated more than a thousand reports.
