Microsoft-owned LinkedIn is rolling out a new feature that allows users on Android and the Web to schedule posts to send at a later time.
The new feature was discovered by social media consultant Matt Navarra Forst.
“LinkedIn is rolling schedule posts feature. Currently available on Android and the web only. Look out for the clock icon to schedule your next post,” he posted on Twitter.
He noticed the post-scheduling feature both in the Android app and on the LinkedIn website.
When a user clicks on the clock icon, they are presented with the option of selecting a specific date and half-hourly slot for which they want to schedule their post, according to IANS.
LinkedIn now has over 875 million members, with international growth nearly twice as fast as in the United States. It also has more than 150 million newsletter subscribers, a 4x increase year over year.
“New integrations between Viva and LinkedIn Learning helped companies invest in their existing employees by providing access to courses directly in the flow of work. Members added 365 million skills to their profiles over the last 12 months, up 43 percent year over year,” the company said.
