LinkedIn Tells People if You Look at Their Profile. Here’s How to Turn That Off
If you are a frequent user of LinkedIn, you may have noticed that the platform notifies users when someone views their profile. While this feature can be beneficial in some cases, it can also be a bit invasive for those who prefer to browse profiles privately.
If you would like to turn off the feature that notifies users when you view their profile, follow these steps:
- Sign in to your LinkedIn account
- Click on your profile picture in the top right corner of the screen
- Select “Settings & Privacy” from the dropdown menu
- Under the “How others see your LinkedIn activity” section, click on “Profile viewing options”
- Change the setting to “Private mode” to browse profiles anonymously
By following these steps, you can browse LinkedIn profiles without alerting users that you have viewed their profile. This can be particularly useful if you are conducting research or looking to connect with new contacts without drawing attention to your profile views.
