The business-oriented messenger Slack is experiencing issues today, February 22, 2022. First, many users around the world reported failures, a short time later Slack confirmed the failures via Twitter. As long as Slack is down, we'll keep an eye on things for you!

If your company uses Slack, you now have a good excuse to ignore work instructions. The messaging app is apparently struggling with server problems which means that direct messages, channels, and groups do not work smoothly for many people. After initial reports, Slack confirmed the problems via Twitter.

If you want to quickly find your friends you can switch to other instant messenger alternatives, some of which we have listed for you in the linked article. If you're annoyed with Slack, be sure to read on.
