The introduction of LinkedIn QR codes now allows users of the app the ability to easily share their accounts with potential employers, prospects, clients and anyone else they'd like to add to their networks. User's looking to take advantage of this feature can find the QR code icon on the Home tab's search bar, where there is the QR scanner as well. Scanning a code will bring user's directly to the associated profile and codes can even be shared through messaging apps, email, websites, and even printed material.
In addition to LinkedIn QR codes, the site has finally incorporated a "See Translation" button on posts within the LinkedIn Feed. The translation is powered by Microsoft Text Analytics API and is available for over 60 languages.
