A New Look for LinkedIn
LinkedIn just gave its flagship app a major facelift. The company released a redesigned version of its main app earlier this month. The new app, which was first previewed in October, makes the app look more like Facebook and other social media apps. Like Facebook, LinkedIn’s new app is centered around a central feed, which shows you updates from people in your network and content they are sharing on LinkedIn. Similar to Facebook’s News Feed, the app filters which updates you’ll see based on what you’re most likely to be interested in — and the company says the feature will get better over time as you use the app more. The home feed is structured a lot like LinkedIn’s recently-revamped Pulse app so you may also see posts from people in your extended network and articles that are popular among people with similar jobs. The updated app also includes the newly-refreshed messaging features and an overhauled search feature that LinkedIn says is 300% faster than the previous app. All of the new features are available now on iOS and Android.
