The messaging service now has improved push and email
notifications and messages are organized in a chat-style format
with conversation threads akin to most messaging apps today such
as Facebook Inc's Messenger and WhatsApp.
LinkedIn, which operates the biggest social networking site for
professionals, has started to roll out the new messaging service
to English-language users accessing its platform via a desktop
or through an app.
Users can also attach photos and documents to messages.
The company also said it was looking at offering voice and video
calling with the messaging platform in the future.
LinkedIn plans to make the revamped messaging feature available
in other languages in the coming weeks.
