If you are using the LinkedIn mobile app and wondering where to find your messages, there are a couple places you can check. LinkedIn messages on the mobile app can be accessed from the conversations tab or notifications.
Check the Conversations Tab
The main place to view your LinkedIn messages on the mobile app is in the Conversations tab. Here are the steps to access your messages from the Conversations tab:
- Open the LinkedIn app on your mobile device.
- Tap the “My Network” icon at the bottom – this looks like a little figure of a person.
- On the My Network screen, tap “Conversations” at the top.
- You will now see the Conversations screen which shows you a list of your recent conversations and messages.
From the Conversations tab, you can view your message threads, see new messages, and continue conversations. This is the hub for all your messaging activity on LinkedIn’s mobile app.
Check Notifications
In addition to the Conversations tab, you may also see notification alerts about new LinkedIn messages. Here’s how to view messages from notifications:
- When you receive a new LinkedIn message, you’ll get a notification alert.
- Swipe down from the top of your phone screen to reveal the notifications.
- Tap the LinkedIn notification to open the message.
- This will take you directly to that conversation thread where you can view and reply to the message.
So notifications can provide quick access to new LinkedIn messages. However, to see all your conversations in one place, the Conversations tab is the main destination.
Things to Keep in Mind
Here are some other things to keep in mind about LinkedIn messages on mobile:
- Unread messages will have a blue dot next to them in the Conversations tab.
- You can swipe left on a conversation to archive it.
- Your current conversations will be sorted by most recent activity.
- Tap the pencil icon in a conversation to compose and send a reply.
- The mobile app only shows your most recent conversations – for older messages, log in on LinkedIn.com.
Managing Notifications
If you are getting too many LinkedIn notifications, you can manage them in your device settings:
- Open your phone’s Settings app.
- Tap “Notifications”.
- Find LinkedIn and tap it.
- Toggle off any notification types you want to disable.
Turning off certain notifications like “New Message” can reduce distractions while still allowing important alerts through.
