Having easy access to your bookmarks on LinkedIn’s mobile app is important for quickly referencing saved content. However, the bookmark feature on LinkedIn’s mobile app is not immediately obvious to find. This article will walk you through how to view, access, and manage your LinkedIn bookmarks on both iOS and Android devices.
Viewing Bookmarks on LinkedIn’s Mobile App
LinkedIn’s bookmarking feature allows you to save posts, articles, and other content to refer back to later. However, the process for accessing your bookmarked content is not the same on LinkedIn’s mobile app as it is on the desktop site.
On the LinkedIn mobile app, there is no dedicated bookmarks page that shows all of your saved content in one place. Instead, you need to navigate to your profile menu and tap the “Saved” option to view your bookmarked posts and articles.
iOS Instructions
To view your LinkedIn bookmarks on an iPhone or iPad, follow these steps:
- Open the LinkedIn app and tap on the profile icon at the top left (your profile picture or initials)
- This will open the side menu. Scroll down and tap on “Saved”
- You will now see a list of all your bookmarked posts and articles
Android Instructions
On Android devices, the process is similar:
- Open the LinkedIn app and tap on the profile icon at the top right (your profile picture or initials)
- Tap “View profile” from the dropdown menu
- On your profile page, tap on the “More” icon (3 dots) in the top right
- Select “Saved” from the menu
- You will now see a list of your bookmarked content
Bookmarking Content on Mobile
Now that you know how to access your bookmarks, it’s also helpful to understand how to save content to your LinkedIn bookmarks using the mobile app.
iOS Instructions
To bookmark an article, post, or other content on iOS:
- Navigate to the content you want to bookmark
- Tap on the share icon (box with arrow pointing up)
- Scroll down and tap on “Save”
This adds the content to your LinkedIn bookmarks that you can view in the “Saved” section.
Android Instructions
On Android, the process is very similar:
- Navigate to the content you want to bookmark
- Tap on the three dots “More” menu
- Tap on “Save”
The content will now show up in your LinkedIn “Saved” bookmarks section for future reference.
Organizing and Managing Bookmarks
As your LinkedIn bookmark collection grows, you may want to organize them into topics or categories. Unfortunately, LinkedIn’s mobile app does not allow you to organize your bookmarks into folders or categories.
The only organization option on mobile is to sort your bookmarks by date saved, with newest or oldest shown first. The default setting is newest first when viewing your bookmarks.
If you want to categorize your LinkedIn bookmarks using tags or folders, you’ll need to do so on the LinkedIn website, using the desktop version. The folders will then sync and be viewable on the mobile app as well.
Removing Bookmarks
To remove a bookmarked post or article from your LinkedIn Saved section on mobile:
- Navigate to your list of bookmarks
- Swipe left on the bookmark you want to remove
- Tap on the trash icon to delete it
This will permanently remove the bookmark from your Saved list across all devices.
Bookmarks on LinkedIn’s Mobile App vs. Website
There are a few key differences in how LinkedIn handles bookmarks between the mobile app and website:
| Feature | LinkedIn Mobile App | LinkedIn Website |
|---|---|---|
| Viewing bookmarks | Saved section under profile menu | Dedicated Bookmarks page |
| Organizing bookmarks | Sort by date only | Use folders and tags to categorize |
| Bookmarking articles | Use share menu on post | Dedicated bookmark button on posts |
As you can see, the website provides more robust tools for managing your bookmarks, while the mobile app offers quick saving and access in a more streamlined interface.
Conclusion
Bookmarks on LinkedIn’s mobile app are accessed through the Saved section, allowing you to quickly reference posts and articles you want to read later. While organizing options are limited compared to the website, you can still easily save content and view your bookmarks sorted by date.
Bookmarking on mobile is simple using the share menu, and you can seamlessly access bookmarks saved from either the website or mobile app in the unified Saved section. Just navigate to your profile menu and tap “Saved” to find all your bookmarked content in one place.
With these tips, you can now effectively use LinkedIn’s bookmark feature on your iPhone, iPad, or Android device to save and organize useful posts, articles, and content for future reference.
Bookmarking is a valuable tool for boosting your professional knowledge and keeping track of important content on LinkedIn. Understanding how to access and manage your bookmarks directly from the LinkedIn mobile app will ensure you can reference your saved items no matter where you are.
Having easy access to bookmarks on mobile complements LinkedIn’s robust saving and organizing features on desktop. Use the website for categorizing content and the mobile app for quick saves and on-the-go access to boost your productivity on LinkedIn.
With the LinkedIn app’s bookmarks readily available, you can save interesting content as you discover it throughout your day. Then set aside time to read through your bookmarks uninterrupted on a larger screen later. This creates a seamless omnichannel bookmarking experience.
So next time you come across a post or article you don’t have time to read right away, bookmark it on mobile for later. And the next time you need to reference something you previously saved, you’ll know exactly where to find it in the LinkedIn app.
Keeping your bookmarks organized and accessible across devices ensures you get the most value out of LinkedIn’s abundant professional content. You’ll always have your saved articles, posts, and media handy whether at home or on the go.
