LinkedIn's Default Settings Notify Connections When You View Profiles, But Privacy Settings Can Be Changed
-
LinkedIn notifies people when you view their profile and shows them your name, photo, and job title by default. This can create awkward situations.
-
LinkedIn premium subscribers get more detailed analytics on who views their profile over the past year.
-
You can change your settings so your name and details are not shown when you view someone's profile.
-
Choosing increased privacy means you also won't be notified when others view your profile.
-
The default setting shares your identity when you view profiles. Changing this stops the cycle of constant notifications from profile views.
