Slack is used by workplaces across the globe, including ours, so it's pretty frustrating when it goes down and you have to find a different way to talk to colleagues. Slack is DOWN today, on October 1 and we have the latest updates on its status for you.
Latest - Connection Will Take a While to Stabilize
Slack says that stability is beginning to roll out to everyone, following the issues that began last night.
They say that reloading Slack might fix it for some people, but it'll take up to later this afternoon for the fix to work for everyone.
The Slack DNS issues started at around 5pm ET/10pm BST on September 30, and are set to take 24 hours to fix.
Is Slack Down? October 1
Slack is currently down for a lot of users worldwide. The issues aren't affecting everyone, but users have been reporting the inability to connect and other problems for a few hours.
Below is the tweet from @Slack Status, which explains the route of the problem and when it might be fixed.
For now, there's not a lot you can do about it. You can try closing and reloading Slack, as that's solved the issues for some, but otherwise you'll just have to wait it out and hope that they're solved quickly on Slack's end.
