LinkedIn iPad app orientation and feature limitations
🧭 workproduct problem3 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.
- A browser-based testing suite specifically for iPadOS to identify input field bugs in the LinkedIn app.
- A dedicated feedback portal for iPad users to report UI-specific crashes with device logs.
