Yes, you read the title correctly that LinkedIn Enabled the Hashtag Function. LinkedIn now supports the use of hashtags again. The word ‘again’ is written here because LinkedIn enabled this functionality back in 2013 too. But the user response was really poor and they had to roll it back.
LinkedIn is an American business and employment-oriented online service that operates via websites and mobile apps.
The platform is primarily used for professional networking and career development, and allows job seekers to post their CVs and employers to post jobs.
Important note:
There is one thing that you should know before telling everyone else about this news. This support is only for the mobile app of LinkedIn. The functionality is not available in the desktop version. This news was rolled out in the LinkedIn blog where they pointed out some other improvements too. Read the points here:
- The search functionality has been improved
- You can enter the phrase you remember in the search bar and find out the posts related to it
- The content search capacity has also been improved and you can now find relevant material related to your topic easily
- The hashtags are now tappable and you can discover other posts related to the hashtag
- You can enter the hashtag in the search bar too, in order to see the public posts
The question which still remains is that why they have not enabled the use of hashtags across all platforms. Probably the confusion is still there because they had to roll back this feature in 2013.
