LinkedIn's new Facebook-like app arrives on iOS and Android
- 8 years ago
LinkedIn just gave its flagship app a major facelift.
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.
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 core for the mobile product, the spine of the app, has always been this feed," Jonathan Redfern, LinkedIn's VP of Product, tells Mashable .
Outside of the feed, there's a "My Network" section, which serves up suggested people you may know, as well as cards with bite-sized updates about your connected friends, such as work anniversaries and new jobs.
