Slack Suffers Outage, Leaving Users in Slack
The outage has affected users worldwide, with many taking to social media to express their frustration and share their experiences. As the investigation into the cause continues, users are eagerly awaiting a resolution and a return to normal service.
Slack, a popular workplace messaging platform, experienced a widespread outage on Wednesday, with many users reporting issues and server errors, affecting desktop access and other features, including messaging and connectivity.
The outage, which began around 10:10 a.m. ET, caused frustration among users, who took to social media to express their concerns. However, some users jokingly saw the outage as a blessing in disguise, allowing them to take a break and go outside. The cause of the outage is still unclear, and Slack has yet to comment on when the issue will be resolved.
This is not the first time Slack has experienced a global outage. On February 26, 2025, the platform suffered a similar outage, affecting tens of millions of users. The issues began around 10:30 a.m. EST, with users reporting trouble connecting or loading the platform. Slack acknowledged the problem and stated that it was investigating the cause, later reporting that it was working to restore full functionality.
As Slack continues to investigate the cause of the outage, users are left waiting for a resolution. The company's engineers are working to restore full functionality, including the ability to send messages and log in. In the meantime, users are finding alternative ways to communicate and collaborate, highlighting the importance of having backup plans in place for such disruptions.
