FAQs
InMail messages are private messages that let you contact anyone on LinkedIn without having to introduce yourself or provide contact information. An InMail can be sent immediately from a LinkedIn Recruiter member’s profile page or from search results.
Whether it’s for a sales opportunity, an industry question, or influencer outreach, InMail expands your capacity to reach people you want to interact with. The subject line of InMail communications is limited to 200 characters (which is sufficient, since Marketo suggests 7-word subject lines).
After tapping your profile image, go to Settings. Press the Communications button. Tap Read receipts and typing indicators under the Messaging experience area.
