    @SlackHQ I somehow addressed the issue. Couldn't tell you how, I ran in too many 6-digit "magic" circles to keep track, but I'm not looking back. Shame on me for not putting PW in my PW manager app immediately: corrected that error w/ the re-work. On to your tutorials. Ever forward.

    Thank you, @SlackHQ for fixing the annoying issue when switching language with Ctrl+Alt. My experience with Slack just became exponentially better.

    @SlackHQ is there a problem with the app today? 50% of mpictures are not showing up

    @lsmith @SlackHQ Hit the down arrow part of the send button, can delay message sending now.

    @SlackHQ the inline player for uploaded mp4s seems broken on the fat client / web. you can click the play button but the video stays at the first frame!

    Dear @SlackHQ this emoji “🤙🏼” does not and will never mean “call me”. Plz fix. Thanks. - Kailey

    @SlackHQ The other issue is that search terms don’t match between the system keyboard and Slack, so half the time I can’t even get something to appear in search.

    @Kedare @SlackHQ UX pf slack is completely terrible at all, I don't understand why it's so popular !

    @SlackHQ Can you fix whatever is causing the linux client to crash everytime you switch away for a few minutes (most recent update caused this). I do enjoy having Slack closed, but having to wait for it to open whenever I need to message is annoying.

  • newtoid
    David Newton (@newtoid) reported

    Hey @SlackHQ please can you put the pinned messages and threads back where they were or tell me how I can do it myself? I feel like I had harmony and it turned to chaos - I gave it a chance and I didn't get used to it. Please help!

    @SlackHQ can y'all please fix tweet unfurls? rn the desktop client truncates links which basically renders sharing tweets to articles useless.

    Is Slack down for anyone else? @SlackHQ

    Lawrence Yang (@lawrenceyang) reported

    @thisisthequick @SlackHQ Jason, you're doing it wrong. When you need to send a message to everyone, you're supposed to create a new channel specific to that message and add the whole company. Problem solved.

    @SlackHQ Alas no answer to if they can deal with the issue over the weekend or not :(

    @SlackHQ Worked for me, thanks! (btw my colleague reverted to the previous version via Snap but that didn't fix)

  • Oobert

    @SlackHQ It does seem to help. Thank you. Let me try this for a bit and see if it is any better.

    @KatzAndrewS @SlackHQ I'd be totally down for an auto-reply feature when you're on PTO. But... Is that too emaily...? Honestly maybe we just get better at not checking our slacks all the time 🤔 ENJOY YOUR PTO

    @SlackHQ Hi, I having some 2FA trouble with the mobile Android app. Can someone help me?

    Is it just me or @SlackHQ web and desktop are down?

  • BradWritesWords
    Brad Ewin (@BradWritesWords) reported

    @SlackHQ When I share images via the iOS app, they often remain as blank white squares. Even though the image is uploaded and viewable on desktop. And even after closing and reopening the mobile app. Is there something I can do to fix?

  • meherbala
    Meher Bala (@meherbala) reported

    @SlackHQ Email sent. Hope you'll find a solution to this problem at the earliest. Let me know if you need any help testing it once you'll have a solution.

    @SlackHQ Well, it has been in existence for at least six months, if not longer. It results in me regularly having to spend a couple of minutes to dig for critical messages. Given 12 million users, you are wasting 400,000 hours a day of user time due to this issue.

  • TheMartes_
    Mateu Büncsheck von Mälj-eneese (@TheMartes_) reported

    @SlackHQ Slack is performing poorly only in “native” app. In safari it works okayish (still not as fast as other chat clients). Besides that, in app random flickering is occurring when I have focus on app and on scrolling it’s constant. One thing which kinda help was turning off HW Acc.

  • Kedare
    Piou! 🐣 (@Kedare) reported

    Is there a way in the @SlackHQ mobile app to have the unread channels next the the read channels like everywhere else ? The current UX of having them completely separated is terrible.

  • swifteves
    Adrian Eves, NSObject (@swifteves) reported

    Hey @SlackHQ any chance we could get a Focus mode update for iOS that’ll help us with notifications pretty please?

  • KevinsaneX
    Kevin Gagnon (@KevinsaneX) reported

    @SlackHQ feature idea: Record simple short voice message replayable in the chat. So it pops in the chat like a playable audio clip, instead of text. People can speak instead of chatting but it doesn't lock down both parties in a call.

  • Oobert
    Tony Gemoll (@Oobert) reported

    @SlackHQ Just learned that this problem doesn't happen seem to happen on windows. Hrmmm. Is MacOS spellcheck this bad?

  • jdeamattson
    Jordan Dea-Mattson (@jdeamattson) reported

    @SlackHQ I am guessing by your response that while it is a “high priority fix” - given you cannot give a timeline - it is not scheduled for the current sprint nor is it in a position it will be in the next sprint. Which doesn’t really sound like a “high priority fix”.
