LinkedIn is a social media platform that allows people to improve their career development. To be in touch with the job organization, it is mandatory to keep an active email address. LinkedIn allows users to add multiple email addresses to their profiles. If you have configured the wrong email address on your LinkedIn account, you can change it on the app and website whenever you want. You can also choose the primary and secondary email addresses for better communication.
