Windows 10: Introducing LinkedIn Reactions: More Ways to Express Yourself

Brink · Apr 11, 2019

People come to LinkedIn every day to discover what’s happening in their professional communities and talk to one another about topics and ideas related to their work. These conversations cover a wide range, whether it’s discussing industry news, celebrating a company milestone, giving advice on someone’s job search journey, or sharing thoughts on important workplace topics like being a working parent.

One of the things we regularly hear from all of you is that you want more expressive ways than a “Like” to respond to the variety posts you see in your feed. At the same time, you’ve also told us that when you post on LinkedIn, you want more ways to feel heard and understand why someone liked what you said.

That’s why today we’re starting to roll out a set of Reactions on LinkedIn, giving you more ways to quickly and constructively communicate with one another.

You can use Celebrate to praise an accomplishment or milestone like landing a new job or speaking at an event, or Love to express deep resonance and support, like a conversation about work life balance or the impact of mentorship. Insightful can help you recognize a great point or interesting idea, while Curious lets you show your desire to learn more or react to a thought-provoking topic. As a poster, these new reactions can help you better understand the impact your posts are having.

We took a thoughtful approach to designing these reactions, centered around understanding which ones would be most valuable to the types of conversations members have on LinkedIn. This process included looking at what people are already talking about to better understand what feedback they wanted to express and receive — for example, we analyzed the top 1-2 word comments being used and what types of posts people are sharing most. We also conducted global research with LinkedIn members to get feedback on the specific reactions to ensure they were universally understood and helpful. To learn more about the product principles, research, and design journey, check out this LinkedIn article from our design team.

Reactions are starting to roll out now and will be available globally to all members in the coming months in the LinkedIn mobile app and on the web. Take a look at our Help Center for more details.

As with everything we build at LinkedIn, we will be listening closely to your feedback to understand how you’re using reactions. We hope these reactions help you better connect and talk with your community on LinkedIn!

New Updates in LinkedIn Messaging

We know you use LinkedIn Messaging to have a variety of professional conversations, whether it’s chatting with a teammate about work, discussing a job opportunity with a recruiter, asking a mutual connection for career advice, or sharing ideas with someone in your industry. These conversations can take a number of formats -- some more formal, others more chat-like in real-time, or in a group.

To help make it easier for you to communicate the way you want, when you want, we’ve made some updates to messaging to make your exchanges more useful and enjoyable:

Stretch your compose box to write longer messages

You can now move out of the chat-like interface and expand the message compose box across platforms for those times when you just need a little more space to compose longer, thoughtful and more formal messages. This is available now on mobile, and coming in the next few weeks to desktop.

Share attachments on-the-go

We know how hectic your work day can get so to make it easier for you to message on-the-go, we’ve now added the ability to send attachments from your phone in the LinkedIn app. Contacted by a recruiter and want to send your resume right away? Just tap the attachment icon and select from the approved file types including PDF, DOC, XLS, and PPT to upload.

This has been one of the most frequently requested messaging features from all of you, and we’re excited to make it simple to attach and send from your phone.

Send emojis from desktop with new emoji picker

Sometimes a perfectly selected emoji is worth a thousand words. We want to make it easier for you to express yourself, so now you can quickly send emojis from your desktop with our emoji picker. Select emojis by scrolling through the list, searching by keyword, or choosing a category for options.

Easily start and manage group messages

There’s now a new way to create group messages in the LinkedIn app that makes it effortless for you to start conversations with people that you care about like coworkers, alumni, or peers in the same industry. Now when you tap on the “+” icon to create a new message, you’ll be prompted with smart suggestions for groups based on your current or former company, where you went to school, or people you’ve recently messaged with.

Additionally, you can now remove people from your group messages in the LinkedIn app. Simply tap on the three dots on the top right of your group message and tap on remove people.

Mention people in your messages

With @ mentions in messaging you can now more easily direct a comment at someone in a group message. You can also @ mention any of your connections in a 1:1 conversation to share their profile and recommend that the other person reach out to them.

Quickly copy + paste images on web

Emojis aren’t the only way we’re helping you make your messages more visual. You can now seamlessly copy and paste images from screenshots and images on the web into your LinkedIn messages, making sharing visuals that much more quick and easy.

You asked, and we listened to your feedback to develop these improvements. We’re excited to keep building on these updates with new features that help you have more compelling conversations in LinkedIn Messaging.

windows 10 mobile not including linkedin contacts

I have a Lumia 950 running windows 10

There seems to be no way to bring in my LinkedIn Contact into the people hub on windows 10 mobile

In my outlook account online my LinkedIn contacts are brought into outlook

On my phone my LinkedIn contacts are not brought in from my outlook account

There does not appear to be a way to add a LinkedIn account like there was on Windows Mobile 8.1

Any ideas?

Same here

In my outlook account online my LinkedIn contacts are brought into outlook

On my phone my LinkedIn contacts are not brought in from my outlook account

However

After changing LinkedIn contacts in outlook online the contacts becomes suddenly available on
windows 10 mobile (without profile photo and mobile number)

On my 3 years old windows 8 phone everything is working fine. Windows 10 is definitely not an improvement for me as long this issue has not been resolved.

Anyone else got this working?

Anyone seen microsoft feedback?
