LinkedIn has introduced a new addition to the Messaging tab
recently, in the form of a ‘Focused Inbox’ display that divides into two tabs:
Focused and Other. The ‘Focused’ tab will include more important messages while
filtering out the less valuable ones to the ‘Other’ tab.
In a way, LinkedIn users will now be able to have their messages
automatically filtered as important and spam/junk messages. In LinkedIn’s
words, “Focused contains the most relevant new opportunities and outreach,
while Other contains the remainder of your conversations.”
LinkedIn’s Product Manager Deepan Mehta revealed that the
platform has observed a 20% increase in engagement via messaging year-over-year
and users have been seeking a better way to organize their inbox, hence the
update.
As per LinkedIn, Focused Inbox is being rolled out to all
users around the world.
