How to fix Flock not working
Flock is up on our end, so if it won't work for you, the problem is most likely on your side. Work through these in order:
Your browser tries to reach flock.com over your own connection, right now. Nothing is sent to us or stored.
Check Flock's status page
Start at https://status.flock.com and https://help.flock.com. If the service reports a problem, wait for the fix; if it looks normal, continue to the next step.
Reload the Flock window
In a browser, press Ctrl+R on Windows or Cmd+R on Mac; a hard reload is Ctrl+Shift+R or Cmd+Shift+R. In the desktop app, quit from the tray or menu bar and open it again. This often clears a stuck loading screen.
Sign out of Flock and back in
Open the profile menu and choose Sign out, then sign in with your work email. This refreshes the session. It often fixes messages that stay unsent or a window that keeps reconnecting.
Reinstall the Flock app
Uninstall the desktop app and install the current version from the official site. On Android, clear the cache first at Settings > Apps > Flock > Storage > Clear cache; on iOS, use Settings > General > iPhone Storage > Flock > Offload App, then reinstall from the App Store.
While Flock is down: what to use instead
- Slack Use it for team channels, direct messages, and file sharing while Flock is unavailable.
- Microsoft Teams Use it for workplace chat, meetings, and shared files if your team already has Microsoft accounts.
- Google Chat Use it for direct messages and group conversations through a Google Workspace account.
- Email Use email for updates, attachments, and messages that can wait until the service works again.

What happens when Flock goes down
Flock is a team messaging and collaboration app for channels, direct messages, file sharing, and video calls. When it breaks, teams lose chat, calls, shared files, and status updates, and that hits support queues and engineering handoffs; the status shown above comes from problem reports counted in 15-minute windows over the last 24 hours, not from any direct probe of the service.
Messaging breaks first: messages sit on sending, and channels fail to refresh. Calls may fail to connect or drop mid-meeting, while file uploads and previews hang or return an error. You may get signed out or see a blank channel list, while others keep working from a cached session, so the trouble often looks partial. A regional or intermittent outage can still push the report level above its usual level; the official status page or help centre can confirm whether the service has posted an incident.

How we track Flock
The status on this page comes from user-submitted problem reports for Flock, counted in 15-minute windows over the last 24 hours. Each window is compared with the normal level for Flock, so a few complaints on a quiet day don't trigger anything, but a sudden jump well above normal does.
When reports climb well above normal, the status here changes to partial outage or major outage and the chart moves with it. This is separate from Flock's official status page: user reports tend to show a problem early, while the official page confirms the cause. If the two disagree, check both.
