This update shows LinkedIn is serious about creating a full-featured mobile platform for the growing contingent of business users who have left desktop behind. That said, the iOS app packs a significantly deeper level of control over profile curation and networking. I played around with the updated app on my iPhone so this walkthrough doesn't cover any Android-specific features. That's essentially what the updates were as LinkedIn's last major Android and iOS upgrades happened in 2013. There were enough design tweaks to make it usable, but the static-feeling pages, uniform scrolling feeds, and a bulky navigation pane with a couple of mobile buttons and icons on top gave the impression of a cheap facelift. But the main app's user interface (UI), messaging, profile editing, and connection feed are vastly improved.įor me, one of the most frustrating aspects of LinkedIn's longstanding iPhone app was that it still felt like a desktop application shrunk onto a smartphone-sized screen. The streamlined app experience still doesn't include access to the advanced search, groups, job hunting, and LinkedIn Pulse functionality siloed in other apps within LinkedIn's social media app bundle. LinkedIn's mobile app was in dire need of an overhaul, and it finally got one today with the long overdue launch of its redesigned apps for Android and iOS.
