Manage who can see Members you Follow

Last updated: 3 years ago
When a member becomes one of your 1st degree connections, you automatically follow them and their activity. You can always unfollow them, and they won't be notified you've unfollowed them.

You can also Follow a member on LinkedIn without being connected to them. Following a member on LinkedIn allows you to see the person's posts and articles on your homepage without being connected to them. Members are able to see if you follow them and will receive a notification whenever a non-connection follows them. However, you control how others can see your follow activity via your Settings page.

To change who can see members you follow:
  1. Click the Me icon at the top of your LinkedIn homepage.
  2. Select Settings & Privacy from the dropdown.
  3. Click Visibility on the left side and select Visibility of your profile & network.
  4. Click Change next to Who can see members you follow.
  5. Select Only visible to me or Anyone on LinkedIn to choose who can see members you follow.
Notes:

  • If you follow a member, that member can always see that you follow them.

  • This setting only applies to members you follow and not Groups or LinkedIn Pages.
  • Unless you make your connections only visible to you, your 1st degree connections can see who you're connected to on LinkedIn. Also, all members who have connections in common with you can see those shared connections. Learn more about controlling who can see your connections.
