We have social media for almost everything right now and if a theme is missing, someone will soon launch a new one that tries to bring together a huge group of users related to a category. If we like photography we have Instagram, if we like art we have Behance or DeviantArtIf for whatever reason we like to use the camera for streaming to Periscope and if we are looking for a new job, LinkedIn will be one of those selected to show our public profile and professional experience.
It is precisely this app that has been updated appropriately for the dates in which we are at Material Design and thus redesign the entire app so that users who use this network can get more out of it, or at least taste it in another way with a different UI and reordered elements that improve navigation for her. A new update that has been crying out for some time now and that, although they have been adding different features as novelties, in what was the visual aspect it was becoming a bit outdated.
Completely renewing
And it is that now we can say that this application has been completely renewed that preferred to use that interface more than the Ice Cream Sandwich era and that Holo as a visual aspect which has become quite out of date for what a Lollipop or a Marshmallow now offers us.
Since the new version 4.0 you can already access some new animations, a cleaner design, a more predominant white color, a better use of space and those transitions that make navigating the application to see the latest entries of the contacts, update the profile or what the search is, improve considerably.
To Material Design, but we can take missing that side navigation panel so characteristic of this design pattern. It is rather characterized by having five tabs at the top from which we can access home with the timeline, the profile where we can access the settings, the messages we have with more contacts, possible contacts and the vitally important search for certain moments.
Navigating through swipes
Between all these tabs we can go navigating from one to another with several swipes. The settings now remain in the profile tab, and apart from configuring certain elements of the Android app we can also tweak the most important options of our profile in this social network indicated for our professional activity.
Where it has also improved considerably to what it was before is in the timeline, where our professional contacts they are sharing tickets and interacting with likes and other options that are very similar to other social networks such as Facebook. What is curious is that now it costs more to share an image than before, although it can always be that LinkedIn updates the app to make certain improvements to make it even better.
And by the way, they should update images from the Google Play Store where they are still the old interface.
Ultimately, a needed update For some time from the visual aspect and that we already have available from the Play Store, although if you do not want to wait for it to arrive on your smartphone, you can go through the APK from apk.mirror to already have this great renewal for one of the networks where presence is almost vital for certain professions.
Now they have the basis for including certain news as characteristics so that the «networking» between contacts from a social network like this is even more productive or they integrate new active ways of looking for a job so that it is not necessary to relegate in other networks such as infojobs, and one can find the desired job by to be able to interact with companies and companies from the ease that can be your smartphone or tablet.
