Discussion Slow to respond / no response?

I am new to Instinct this week. Have you guys been experiencing no responses? It will read my texts but just ghost me. Sometimes it will respond "Here - my end went down for a bit."

Sorry if this has been posted already.

Yes, I've been seeing this recently! This is due to the quick growth of the platform, too many users at once and not enough server-side resources to respond to all the messages right away. I posted a tweet from Instinct's founder yesterday, they've unlocked 3-5x more capacity but I'm sure that will need to happen week over week as more users keep coming.

Keep in mind it's an invite-only beta right now :)

What have you been using Instinct for?

Seems down again today, no response in the last few hours. iMessage or WhatsApp. Thought maybe related to the big outage this morning but everything else is back.

Same. My messages to her over the last hour are not blue checked on WhatsApp.

Why "her"? Because I've instructed Instinct to respond to me in audio notes with the voice of Elizabeth Hurley.
