If you notice that your Slack is running slow and does not update the individual channels in an appropriate amount of time. Perform the following steps to help improve your Slack performance.

  1. Open your slack app and refresh by pressing CMD+Shift+R on MAC or CTRL+Shift+R. You can also click on 'View' in the menu bar and click on 'Force Reload'

  2. Close the Slack app on your computer and reopen it.

From this point, you should notice improved performance on your Slack app. If you feel as though the performance is still degraded, perform the following steps.

  1. Click on the drop down menu at the top right of your Slack and click on 'Preferences'

2. Then click on 'Sidebar' and under 'Show' select 'Unread Conversation Only'

By performing these steps, you should see a considerable upgrade in perfomance of your Slack App. If the issue persists, please contact us at [email protected]
