"Sorry about the interruption. We're back up and running," LinkedIn wrote in an update Wednesday.
Reports of an error started shortly before 4:00 p.m. ET, according to outage platform DownDetector.
'It's not you, it's us'
Before the outage ended, LinkedIn told users they could visit their Status page to receive updates on the technical issue. In a post on X (formerly Twitter) officials wrote "It's not you, it's us."
When opening the platform users received a message that read "An error has occurred."
"We seem to have encountered an error. Try going back to the previous page or see our Help Center for more information," the message read.
