Feed not loading or refreshing
Users may see blank feeds, infinite loading spinners, or stale posts that won't refresh during outages.
Job search and applications failing
Job searches may return errors, application buttons may not work, or saved jobs may fail to load during platform issues.
Messaging and InMail not working
Messages may fail to send, conversations may not load, or InMail may show errors during messaging service degradation.
Profile and connection issues
Profiles may fail to load, connection requests may not send, or profile updates may not save during outages.
Troubleshooting Steps Before You Assume LinkedIn Is Down
- 1
Refresh and clear cache
Force refresh your browser (Cmd+Shift+R or Ctrl+Shift+R) or clear your LinkedIn app cache to rule out local issues.
- 2
Try LinkedIn on different platforms
If desktop isn't working, try mobile app or vice versa. Sometimes specific platforms are affected independently.
- 3
Check Microsoft authentication
LinkedIn uses Microsoft authentication. If you can't log in, verify Microsoft services are operational.
- 4
Test individual features
Try feed, job search, messaging separately. Sometimes only specific features are degraded while others work.

Update LinkedIn to the latest version
Outdated apps may have compatibility issues. Check the App Store or Play Store for available updates.

LinkedIn Status FAQ
Is LinkedIn down right now?
Check @LinkedInHelp on Twitter and Downdetector for real-time reports. If both show incidents and you can't load LinkedIn, it's likely down.
Why is my LinkedIn feed not loading?
This usually indicates a server-side issue. Try refreshing, clearing cache, or waiting a few minutes during outages.
Why can't I apply to jobs on LinkedIn?
Job application failures often indicate platform issues. Verify LinkedIn status and save the job listing to apply later.
Is LinkedIn messaging down?
Messaging can be degraded independently from other features. Check status pages and try refreshing the conversation.
Does Microsoft outage affect LinkedIn?
Sometimes. Major Microsoft authentication or infrastructure issues can impact LinkedIn login and some backend services.
