The disruption, which began at approximately 9:57 PM IST, prevented many from accessing key features such as messaging, workflows, threads, and API-related functions.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"article-index-1\">\n<p>Users across X and other social media platforms are reacting with sarcasm to Slack\u2019s outage, jokingly wondering if they can take the day off. The issue seems to be impacting all core functionalities, from messaging and workflows to APIs. Mint found that while the Slack mobile app remained partially accessible, the browser version was completely unresponsive.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"article-index-2\">\n<p>As the outage persisted, social media users responded with a mix of concern and humour. One X user, @jarvis_best, joked: \u201cIs Slack down or did I get fired?\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"article-index-3\">\n<p>Another user exaggerated the impact, writing: \u201c<a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"manualbacklink\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.livemint.com\/news\/world\/slack-founder-stewart-butterfields-16-year-old-daughter-goes-missing-in-us-11714103019444.html\">Slack<\/a> being down is a tech startup\u2019s 9\/11.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"article-index-5\">\n<p>While many turned to humour to cope, the outage caused considerable disruption for businesses dependent on<a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"manualbacklink\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.livemint.com\/news\/world\/slack-founder-stewart-butterfields-16-year-old-daughter-goes-missing-in-us-11714103019444.html\"> Slack for day-to-day operations<\/a>. The exact cause of the technical failure remains unknown, and the company has yet to provide an estimated timeframe for a complete resolution.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"article-index-9\">\n<p>According to DownDetector, a service that tracks online platform outages, over 3,000 users had reported difficulties with <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"manualbacklink\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.livemint.com\/specials\/slack-teams-google-chat-is-there-any-safe-place-to-complain-about-work-online-11727178113562.html\">Slack <\/a>by 10:00 PM IST. This widespread technical failure caused major frustration among professionals and organisations that rely on the platform for seamless communication.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"article-index-10\">\n<p>Slack promptly acknowledged the issue on its official status page, stating: \u201cWe&#8217;re still working to restore functionality to affected Slack features such as sending messages, workflows, threads, and other API-related features. Users may also experience issues when attempting to log in. Thank you for your continued patience as we continue investigating. We&#8217;ll be following up with further updates as they become available.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"article-index-11\">\n<p>For those affected, Slack\u2019s official status page remains the best source for updates.
