Feed Not Loading
LinkedIn Social Media App
Severity: MinorWhat Does This Error Mean?
When your LinkedIn feed won't load, the page may appear blank or show old posts. This is usually caused by a connection issue or a cached data problem. A quick refresh or app restart almost always fixes it.
Affected Models
- LinkedIn for iPhone
- LinkedIn for Android
- LinkedIn Web
- LinkedIn Desktop App
Common Causes
- Weak or unstable internet connection
- The LinkedIn app has a minor glitch and needs a restart
- Cached data in the app is outdated or corrupted
- LinkedIn's servers are temporarily slow or down
- Your browser extension or VPN is interfering with LinkedIn
How to Fix It
-
Pull down on the feed to manually trigger a refresh.
On the web, press F5 to refresh the page.
-
Check your internet connection — try opening another app or website.
If everything else loads fine, the problem is on LinkedIn's end.
-
Close the LinkedIn app completely and reopen it.
This clears temporary memory and often restores the feed instantly.
-
Clear the LinkedIn app cache in Settings > Apps > LinkedIn > Storage > Clear Cache.
After clearing cache, reopen LinkedIn and wait a moment for the feed to load.
-
If using a browser, try disabling browser extensions one by one to find the culprit.
Ad blockers and privacy extensions sometimes interfere with LinkedIn's feed.

Frequently Asked Questions
My LinkedIn feed only shows posts from a week ago — why?
LinkedIn may be showing cached content because it cannot reach its servers. Try clearing the app cache and refreshing. Also check that your internet connection is active.
My feed is loading but showing irrelevant posts — is this a bug?
No, this is usually LinkedIn's algorithm, not a bug. LinkedIn personalizes your feed based on your connections and engagement history. Follow more relevant people and engage with the content you like to improve it over time.
LinkedIn feed works on my phone but not on my work computer — why?
Your workplace network may be blocking or throttling LinkedIn. Some company firewalls restrict social media access. Try accessing LinkedIn on a personal device using mobile data to confirm.
