The official LinkedIn app for Windows Phone has been bumped to version 1.5 and introduces a number of new features. The social network is geared towards business and is a place for co-workers to gather and networks to prosper. If you're looking for a solution to keep in touch with the professional side of your life, LinkedIn is a solid option. So what's new in the latest release?
The team have followed up the most recent update with some juicy Windows Phone 8 features. This is the change log for version 1.5 (published on the official Windows Phone Blog):
- Live Tiles support (all three sizes - displays counters for both friends and messages)
- Ability to set LinkedIn Today images as the lock screen background
- Speech recognition support enables users to command LinkedIn (example: "LinkedIn. Inbox." or "LinkedIn. New status.")
- More languages have been included, including French, German, Chinese and Spanish
It's a great update to better support Windows Phone 8 and take advantage of the larger (and smaller) tiles now available to consumers. You can download LinkedIn from the Windows Phone Store for free (both Windows Phone 7 and 8 supported). Thanks, Paras and aaa6112, for the heads up!
