Slack down - latest updates and news

If you're seeing issues with Slack not working for you today, you're not alone. The online collaboration tool is currently down for users across the world.

The issue began around 6am PT / 9am ET / 2pm GMT on Tuesday 22 February, 2022, with users in multiple continents reporting issues.

There's been no word from Slack yet on what is causing the outage, so stay tuned and we'll keep you posted on all the latest updates and news below...

As we mentioned above, issues with Slack began appearing just as many workers in the US were signing on for the day.

Outage tracker site DownDetector showed a huge spike in complaints, with users also flocking to Twitter to report problems.

The issues appear to be affecting users of the Slack desktop app, with multiple browsers affected.

Here's what we're seeing when trying to access Slack on Google Chrome - but users on other browsers have also reported not being able to access.

The official Slack status Twitter account isn't reporting any issues just yet, but we're keeping an eye on it - the outage reports have now topped six thousand within less than half an hour, so something serious must be wrong...

Slack is still saying there's no issues yet...but nearly eight thousand reports can't be wrong!

Ah - there we go - the official Slack status page is now showing some problems across the board.

Full details in the image below, but as you may have seen, some users are unable to access Slack. The issues appear to be affecting a range of areas, from logging in to the platform to being able to send messages and receive notifications.

"We’re investigating the issue where Slack is not loading for some users. We’re looking into the cause and will provide more information as soon as it's available," Slack has noted on its updates page.
