Is it possible to block LinkedIn user from viewing my profile? For years I used to answer: “nope”, as of last Thursday my answer is: “Yes, but…” (there is always a but isn’t there?). Before I show you how to do it (it is too easy) let me explain what blocking a person on LinkedIn does and doesn’t do…
5 Results of blocking a LinkedIn user:
- You won’t be able to access each other’s profiles on LinkedIn
- You won’t be able to message each other on LinkedIn
- If you’re connected, you won’t be connected anymore
- Endorsements and recommendations from that user are removed
- You won’t see each other in your “Who’s Viewed Your Profile”
5 things blocking does not achieve:
- Blocking doesn’t apply to information you have made public, such as your public profile, content posted in public (open) group discussions.
- If you’d like to block a manager of a group you belong to, leave the group first, then block LinkedIn user.
- If you’d like to block a member of a group you manage, remove that member from the group, then block that person.
- If using LinkedIn on a mobile device, you could see cached data. Login and log out to refresh.
- Blocking doesn’t currently apply to SlideShare and Pulse.
