LinkedIn iPad app orientation and feature limitations
🧭 workproduct problem2 reports ●●●●●
The reporter notes that the LinkedIn iPad app forces portrait mode for the video tab while other tabs support landscape, and that the platform restricts web access to force app usage while failing to provide a high-quality mobile experience.
What people do today
- Using the app despite poor UI
- Attempting to use the web version
- Searching for alternative professional networking platforms
🔧 Fix this
Ideas a builder, maker or community group could start on:
- A browser extension that forces landscape mode or responsive layout overrides for specific web-based professional feeds.
- A third-party RSS aggregator tool that scrapes and formats professional updates from LinkedIn into a readable feed format.
- A community-driven feedback dashboard that tracks and visualizes specific UI/UX bugs in major professional apps to pressure developers for fixes.
- Develop a native iPadOS app version that supports split-screen multitasking and drag-and-drop file uploads.
- Create a dedicated feedback portal for tablet users to report specific UI/UX bugs in the iPad app.
