Here's a look at the latest social media news to keep you up-to-date on trends that will elevate your social media presence.

LinkedIn is making it easier to manage your professional network with two new tabs: Grow and Catch-Up.

‘Grow’ helps you discover and connect with new potential connections, while ‘Catch-Up’ streamlines interactions with your existing network.

‘Grow’: This new feature is designed to help you discover and connect with potential new connections. Whether you're looking to expand your professional network, find potential connections, or simply explore new opportunities, the Grow tab makes it easier than ever. It will provide tailored suggestions based on your profile and industry trends, to ensure you can find and connect with like-minded professionals and expand your network strategically.

‘Catch-Up’: The Catch-Up tab streamlines interactions with your current network, highlighting important updates and activities from your connections. Whether someone has started a new job, shared a significant post, or achieved a milestone, the Catch-Up tab ensures you never miss an opportunity to engage and stay connected with your professional network. It’s a great way to maintain relationships and show support for your network’s achievements.
