The default view of your profile on the website is in edit mode. One of them being, ironically, using a mobile app.
Here are some alternatives to get round the “no groups” option. This makes growing your network somewhat harder. LinkedIn used to offer you the opportunity of choosing that you shared the same group when connecting, but no longer does so. The website wins hands down here, as the mobile apps do not allow you to personalize your connection requests – something I ALWAYS like to do, in the “add a personal note” box. People can be filtered by Relationship, Location or Current Company.īoth apps let you search by People, Jobs, Companies or Groups, nothing else. The Search function on the website is intuitive enough to figure out what you are searching for and return results. The website and Android app appear to show them similarly, but the iPad app only shows one – and not even the latest one. Notifications are by hovering (website) or clicking (mobile device) on the flag icon. Notifications 1 iPad notification – not as up to date as the website and Android app On the apps you click a little comment icon to do the same thing. To share your own update, it’s most obvious on the website (the big box with your photo on the left). LinkedIn website updates with dropdown options This is useful if you want to drill down into specifics, such as who’s updated their profile lately or what’s been posted in groups. Just hover over All Updates and you can choose from an array of options. The advantage of the website is that you can choose alternative views of your updates. The default for the website seems to be “top” updates while the apps are “recent” updates. The strange thing is that the apps and the website all show updates in a different order. LinkedIn’s updates shows you the latest news stories, updates and connections made in your network. I’m going to concentrate on the features I personally use, so not everything will be covered here. In this post I’m going to share what I like and dislike about each version.
I’ve found the user experience to be different on each. I’ve been using LinkedIn since 2012, initially using the website and more recently on mobile app (Android tablet and iPad). It’s used by jobseekers, employees, recruiters and entrepreneurs to network online. LinkedIn is a social network aimed at the business sector. This is Day 14 in the 30 Day Blogging Challenge. This article is quite out of date now, and LinkedIn’s site and its apps have been updated considerably in that time.
