Whenever you search for connections or view content on LinkedIn, you see each person’s name, profile photo, and headline. Although updating your LinkedIn profile might be easier on desktop than mobile, there’s a 120-character limit on your headline. If you want to go beyond the default “job title and company name” headline and be more creative, 120 characters can be restrictive.
The benefit of updating your profile via the LinkedIn mobile app is that you can add some extra characters to your headline—at least 200.
