Slack is an important communication tool for many, especially in times of pandemic.
However, on Monday afternoon, the day many people returned to work for the first time after the New Year, the service reported a malfunction.
According to official information, there are currently problems in the area of messaging, but also when connecting to the app.
"We're still investigating the ongoing connectivity issues," Slack said around 4:45 pm.
The fact that there are problems with Slack is also shown by an increase in reports at AlleStoerungen.de, a portal that users can use to report malfunctions in online services.
On Twitter, Slack apologized to its users about the disruption.
Slack, whose operating company, which was founded in Vancouver, was recently bought by the US company Salesforce, is mainly used by groups and companies for digital collaboration.
The Microsoft software Teams is one of its competitors.
The service operators themselves provide updates on the situation at Slack on this website.
