I log into Slack from my mobile phone web browser (Chrome 48 on Android 5.1), and I see:

Hey there !
Account settings
Notification settings
Team directory
Customize settings
Statistics

The only way I can see channels is by clicking the menu button at the top, which brings this menu:

signed in as
Home
Account & Profile
Configure Apps
Message Archives
Files
Team Directory
Statistics
Customize
Team Settings

And then clicking "Message Archives", which lets me see others' messages but still doesn't have a way to post messages.

Is there another way to do this?

From what I can see, you cannot post messages on Slack from the mobile web site. Even if you request the desktop version of the site there does not appear a way to post messages.

You'll need to install the Slack app.

  • +1 thanks, but...huh?? How can they make the desktop version of their site show differently on my phone than on my desktop? Is it actually a problem with my phone browser then?

  • @krubo: There's a number of ways. The agent-string is one. Looking at the size of the browser is another. I don't think it's a problem with your browser; it works that way for me, too. The Slack app is pretty lightweight; it's worth getting.

Use Slack web on mobile.

Open Chrome > click on the 3 dots menu on the right > click on "Desktop Site" check box > enter message > hit enter button on mobile.

The above is working for me.
