LinkedIn Lite first became available on 13 Jul 2017. It is estimated that LinkedIn Lite has been downloaded between 10000000 and 50000000 times from the Play Store.

LinkedIn Lite 4.2 requires the following permissions:

Allows applications to access information about networks.

Required to be able to access the camera device.

Allows applications to open network sockets.

Allows an application to read the user's contacts data.

Allows an application to read from external storage.

Allows an application to receive the ACTION_BOOT_COMPLETED that is broadcast after the system finishes booting. If you don't request this permission, you will not receive the broadcast at that time. Though holding this permission does not have any security implications, it can have a negative impact on the user experience by increasing the amount of time it takes the system to start and allowing applications to have themselves running without the user being aware of them. As such, you must explicitly declare your use of this facility to make that visible to the user.

Allows using PowerManager WakeLocks to keep processor from sleeping or screen from dimming.

Allows an application to write to external storage.
