Lynko.tv Update – Version 1.80

A Major Platform Update for a Simpler, Cleaner Lynko

Version 1.80 is one of the biggest Lynko.tv updates so far.

This update focuses on making the platform easier to understand, faster to use, cleaner to navigate, and more helpful for both new and existing users.

This update improves how Lynko feels when you use it. Pages are clearer, actions are easier to find, forms are more helpful, and many parts of the platform now guide you better from idea to finished link, QR code, page, poll or campaign.

Short Links Are Now Easier to Create
