economictimes.indiatimes.com:

Slack faced another round of issues, marking the second outage in a week. Users encountered problems with viewing images, and some even reported being unable to access the app altogether. This outage could prove disruptive for numerous workplaces relying on Slack to communicate with colleagues, especially as remote working continues to gain popularity. The technical difficulties occurred during the working day in both the UK and the US, according to a report. Just days ago, there was another major outage that affected users worldwide, preventing them from signing in or sending messages. In contrast to the previous outage, the current problems did not appear to affect all users universally; instead, they seemed more confined in scope. On Wednesday, Slack's official status page acknowledged the issue, stating that users might experience difficulties loading threads, admin pages, and images. The company said that it was actively investigating the matter, as per Independent report. The outage resulted in a considerable surge of users reporting issues, as shown on the tracking website Down Detector. However, it remained uncertain whether the problems were limited to specific platforms or regions. Slack boasts over 200,000 paid customers, including 77 of the Fortune 100 companies. Notable among its clientele are major US firms like Target, Uber, Expedia, and Airbnb. The app's widespread use among such significant enterprises underscores the impact of any service interruptions.
