Since the launch of our Beta, the team and I have had the great pleasure of working with a passionate group of Beta testers.  Their feedback, bug reports, and involvement in the process were invaluable, and we want to express our sincere thanks for all of the contributions.

We’d like to keep the community growing and involved in future updates.   If you’d like to contribute, please join us:

We Work Where You Work

LinkedIn for Android, is a continuation of our efforts to help you leverage the power of your professional network anywhere, anytime.  Now, you can walk into any interview, any customer engagement or client meeting with the ability to look up the details on over 100 million professionals worldwide, in real-time.

LinkedIn for Android includes a full, rich feature set designed to bring the most useful features of LinkedIn to your business smartphone.  The application features six modules, each with a user experience designed from the ground up for Android devices:

  • Updates. View and share crucial business intelligence and updates with your network.  Perfect for those spare moments between meetings.
  • Search. Search across over 100 million global professionals, and get the answer back in seconds. We’ve implemented a unified search across both your direct connections and the entire LinkedIn network.
  • Connections. LinkedIn is your address book in the cloud.  Get quick access to any of your connections to get their up-to-date profile information, and the ability to send them a message immediately.
  • Invitations. Why wait to get back to your desk? Accept outstanding invitations immediately.
  • Messages. Messaging is one of the reasons that Android owners love their devices, and we’ve worked hard to integrate your LinkedIn Inbox.
  • Reconnect. You can’t leverage your network if you don’t build it.  This module brings suggestions for new connections to you anytime.  Now you can build your network from anywhere, in seconds.

What’s Next?

In this version, we’ve focused on delivering a great experience around the core LinkedIn features that our members love.  In the coming months, we’ll be updating this app with new features that have been heavily requested during the public Beta.

We’re excited to take this next step with the Android community, and hope you’ll find this version as delightful as we do.  Please join the LinkedIn for Android Group, and help us improve our Android experience.

  18. Any plans for a native iPad LinkedIn app? The basic iPhone or this Android app are great when on the go and for example to connect digitally with someone you meet at an event. But with the screen real-estate of an iPad it would be great to leverage features such as Companies, Groups, Q&A Discussions, etc.

  20. About time. Looks great & easy to use. Recommend adding a PIN option so that we can stay logged in all the time, but have the security of a PIN if phone gets stolen/lost. And contact integrations is definitely needed since the foundation of LinkedIn is networking.

  22. [...] LinkedIn launched the beta for their Android app last December, and now after several months of working out the kinks has made their mobile portal available to all. As with most social networking services, the app functions as an extension of LinkedIn’s web-based component. You can view your updates, share your own news, search through 100 million registered users, use your connections as a cloud-based address book, and more. This release marks version 1.0, but the LinkedIn crew is already hard at work implementing new features reques… LinkedIn launched the beta for their Android app last December, and now after several months of working out the kinks has made their mobile portal available to all.
