Slack periodically asks users to re-grant permissions they have already approved, creating unnecessary friction. This is a platform-level session or token management bug rather than a gap in the broader collaboration market.

Similar Problems
surfaced semanticallySlack bombards users with permission requests and unsolicited promotional nudges
Slack repeatedly prompts users for microphone access, photo library access, ratings, and productivity tips that disrupt workflow. These interruptions accumulate into a pattern of notification fatigue that degrades the core collaboration experience. Users have no reliable way to permanently suppress non-essential system prompts.
Slack Requires Frequent Re-Authorization, Forcing Repeated Logins
Users of Slack are periodically logged out and must re-authorize or re-login, interrupting their workflow. The complaint is brief but points to session-persistence handling that doesn't match user expectations for a daily-use collaboration tool.
Slack App Rating Prompts Interrupt Users During Active Calls
Slack displays in-app rating prompts at inopportune moments including when users are actively trying to join calls, creating friction during time-sensitive interactions. These interruptions are particularly disruptive for mobile users who need a clear path to join meetings quickly. This is a UX friction issue rather than a standalone market problem.
Slack Review Pop-Up Interrupts Active Usage
Slack shows an intrusive review request pop-over overlay while users are actively trying to use the app. This dark-pattern UX interrupts workflow and frustrates users who are mid-task.
Enterprise Apps Request Unnecessary Location and Device-Discovery Permissions
Microsoft Teams repeatedly prompts for location access and permission to find nearby devices — capabilities with no clear functional purpose for a messaging and meetings app. Enterprise users have no way to grant only the permissions the app actually needs, and cannot disable the prompts without potentially breaking app features. This reflects a broader pattern of mobile apps bundling unnecessary permission requests, eroding user trust in enterprise software.
