LinkedIn redesigned its Groups feature, making major changes to both appearance and functionality. On October 14, a standalone app will be introduced that is designed to reduce spam and provide the most relevant content to users. The app offers a Highlights tab, which shows a user discussions from the groups they belong to and makes it easy for them to jump into the conversation directly from their device. Additional tabs allow LinkedIn users to discover interesting content and conduct job searches. One of the most notable changes is that all groups will become private, meaning content can no longer be indexed by search engines. For property management professionals, the new app makes it easier than ever to network with industry peers and join the multifamily conversation.
