What LinkedIn: Community & Network's age rating means
LinkedIn: Community & Network holds a family-friendly Supervisió parental rating on the Google Play. It is broadly appropriate, but a low age rating does not remove every risk: check whether it has chat, ads, or in-app purchases below.
Things for parents to check
- LinkedIn: Community & Network offers in-app purchases. Without a purchase password or spending limit, a child can run up charges. Set up Ask to Buy (iOS) or a Play purchase PIN (Android).
- LinkedIn: Community & Network shows ads. Ads inside kids' apps can lead to unexpected content or accidental taps that open other stores or links.
