Windows 10 users Can Enjoy LinkedIn Better with its New Desktop App

LinkedIn launched its new desktop app for Windows 10 aims that Windows 10 users can enjoy LinkedIn more convenient. More details available in the following parts. And you can also get professional app store optimization services that can get your app rank into top 1 of app store. 

LinkedIn promised its new app is "a richer, more engaging and connected LinkedIn experience" for the millions of users in a blog post. And users can configure which alerts they'd like to see from the Notifications tab inside the app.

About 40 percent of LinkedIn's traffic, from its roughly 500 million members, comes from desktop computers as people scour for jobs, make connections or search for news, while the remaining 60 percent use mobile devices. 

Microsoft closed on its $26.2 billion acquisition of LinkedIn in December, then noting its plans to bring LinkedIn identity to Microsoft's productivity applications, like Office and Outlook; the ability to draft resumés and apply for jobs via Microsoft Word; LinkedIn integration with Active Directory; and LinkedIn notifications in the Windows Action Center,among several other things.

The launch of the Windows 10 application comes shortly after Microsoft announced its plans to deprecate its Windows mobile app, which will be shut down on August 30, 2017. The company’s statement at the time said that Microsoft's efforts were instead focused on building out the new LinkedIn desktop app, which would arrive this summer - as it has today. Mobile users, meanwhile, could use the site from the mobile web if they chose, said Microsoft.

The new LinkedIn desktop app—which can be accessed from the Windows 10 Start menu and task bar—includes features such as real-time notifications on new messages and updates from LinkedIn connections, as well as industry news and information on who has been viewing a LinkedIn user's profile.

LinkedIn's new app for Windows 10 is available for users in the US on Monday and its global users by the end of July. Keep your eyes here for the latest mobile app news. BTW, you can also get professional app rank boosting service here. Contact us now!
