Aside from Box not being able to log in for Priv owners, Slack also had a known bug with the Priv wherein push notifications were not working with the device for whatever reason. I say had because Slack was made aware of the issue early on and noted they were indeed working on a fix. Now, they have updated their Android app to include that fix as well as a few others for the app in general.
Feature Additions
- The new channel navigation drawer is now more drawery than any previous drawer ever.
- Other non-drawer sections of the app got a facelift.
- Support for new emojis.
- Much demanded, now available: you can change your profile pic in the app.
- Faster performance for large teams. Praise be.
- You can now find an "advanced" preference that will allow you to use the back button to open the channel drawer.
Bug Fixes
- Bug when tapping unread blue bar when having 50+ unreads would scroll to empty view
- Bug showing Slackbot as a valid member to add to a Channel
- Fixed: push notifications now work on Blackberry Priv devices
If you're a Slack user, then you already know how crucial having notifications for the app is, so it's great to see Slack have a pretty fantastic turnaround time for getting this bug fixed. The update is live right now on the Google Play Store for all. If you download it and notifications are still not working, there is a small chance you might have to reinstall the app.

Slack push notifications now work on the BlackBerry Priv
Do well priv I'm counting on you for more bb10 phones.
"I am the rocks of the eternal shore, crash against me and be broken!"
That's the only reason why I'm ROOTing for the Priv and trying to convince Androidians to get it.
BB10 for me for as long as it's an option.
Not jumping ship from BB10.

Does this mean the Priv is selling well?
Otherwise not enough people would complain about it that slack would care.

The important thing that we must know is actually how many people had any complaints?? :)

Now if we can only get an update from Microsoft or BB on OneNote we are in business!!! Please guys.....
I have OneNote running on my Passport, works quite well. Not sure if I'm on the latest version as I installed it a long time ago through the Play store.
Excellent I was wondering why I was not getting notifications thought they were being blocked or I had to change some setting.

Logically thinking, isn't it up to blackberry to make sure that their hardware is compatible with the existing software that has been working very well on all other devices? Why should third parties update their apps to make them work for a single device while all other devices run fine?
I'm not seeing the update on my priv.
