Slack is investigating an ongoing incident preventing users from accessing the instant messaging platform and making shared images blurry for those already logged in.
Users have reported experiencing problems connecting to Slack’s app and servers worldwide, as well as difficulties sending messages, according to Downdetector, an outage tracking platform.
“There are systemwide issues across Slack that may result in users being unable to connect to Slack,” reads an incident report on the company’s status page.
“Users may be experiencing issues loading threads, admin pages, images, running workflows and sending messages.”

Less than a week ago, Slack was also hit by what it described as systemwide issues caused by changes made to a service that manages internal system communications.
Because of last week’s hour-long outage, users around the world were also unable to sign into their accounts or send messages.
Update August 02, 14:53 EDT: Approximately two hours after acknowledging the outage, the company reports that all systems are now functioning normally.
“Based on all metrics we’re monitoring, there is no remaining impact to users at this time, and Slack should be operating as expected,” Slack said.
“With this said, we are actively working on reversing mitigative changes implemented during our investigation to bring our systems to their previous state, and we’re continuing to monitor to ensure issues do not reoccur.”
