This is because it doesn’t exist on the app.Īs well, searching for positions is easier on the desktop. For example, when I searched for my school, I am unable to locate Find Alumni. But that’s as far as it goes. There are some limitations. Like the desktop version, you can search for Top, People, Jobs, Posts, Companies, Groups, and Schools. As well, the icons are identical. Let’s look at the limitations, similarities, and advantages of your Home page on the mobile app. The similarities are immediately apparent when we look at the navigation bar from the desktop and mobile app versions respectively.īoth versions include Home, My Network, Jobs, Messaging, and Notifications although not in the same order. The concept of LinkedIn on the move hasn’t entirely caught hold, which is unfortunate because if you’re not using the app, you could be missing opportunities. Only a handful of them raised their hands. Recently I asked my workshop attendees how many of them are using the app. This is perhaps why the mobile app is gaining more popularity its convenience. My phone is on me all the time, where as my laptop isn’t.

Personally, I use the app approximate 50% of the time, which falls in line with the figure gives. Is this a good thing? It is if you prefer to use the app.

If I were a betting man, I’d say the demise of the desktop platform is nearing the end. We also noticed enhancements made first to the mobile app, such as photo enhancement and video features.

The most obvious hint is the way the desktop’s interface increasingly resembles the app. We noticed this when LinkedIn launched its new, slimmed-down platform almost a year ago. One gets the feeling that LinkedIn is migrating its desktop platform to its mobile app.
