How to Fix Slack Freezing when Having Connection Issues

Avoid Slow and Unstable Internet Connections

Slack is the popular, award-winning messaging and collaboration app. It serves teams as a modern alternative to email in the workplace. That is – until the moment Slack freezes and you have to reboot.

The reason for your Slack connection issues can either be their infrastructure or your Internet. Unless Slack is actually down (it happens!), you have to get a fast and stable connection to avoid slack disconnecting.

Fact is: people still experience Slack freezing. See how to fix this and get work done efficiently.

Why Slack Freezes and How to Fix It

When Slack freezes, it can be one of the following:

  • you do not have the latest version of the app / software. You should update that.
  • their servers go down. In this case, a simple check of the Slack status page can confirm.
  • you are experiencing slow or unreliable Internet.

The best way to fix Slack freezing is to look at the network you’re connected to. When you have a slow or unreliable Internet connection, your Slack isn’t able to work properly. Sometimes, you may not even realize that you have a Slack connection problem until you try and use the service.

Most often it’s people working while commuting that encounter these issues. That’s because they get stuck on bad WiFi networks. Their laptops and mobile devices don’t know when to switch to another hotspot or connection. If your WiFi connection has a momentary hiccup or your cellular connection fluctuates, some of the flow of those packets gets interrupted. It can take a few moments for the data to catch up.

This results in Slack messages not sending and calls where the audio cuts in and out, where the video lags, and where the audio and video don’t sync properly.

Slack has put together this troubleshooting guide you can check out to fix Slack freezing. Solutions mostly go around clearing your cache and reloading Slack. But wait… there’s a better way to fix Slack connection issues related to your Internet.
