    Hey there,
    I’m curious about LinkedIn privacy settings and how to view profiles without others knowing. How can I make my profile visits anonymous or less specific in LinkedIn’s settings? Will this impact my ability to see who views my profile?

    To control how your LinkedIn profile views appear to others, adjust your “Profile viewing options” in your settings.
    Head to your LinkedIn Settings & Privacy page by clicking on your “Me” icon or profile picture in the top navigation bar and choosing “Settings & Privacy.”
    Navigate to the “Visibility” or “Visibility of your profile & network” section where you’ll find the “Profile viewing options” setting.
    LinkedIn typically provides three options for how you appear when viewing others’ profiles: showing your name and headline (fully visible), displaying private profile characteristics (partial anonymity), or appearing as “Anonymous LinkedIn Member” (full privacy).
    Note that if you choose a private mode, such as anonymous browsing, with a basic (free) LinkedIn account, you won’t be able to see who viewed your profile. However, LinkedIn Premium subscribers can browse privately and still access their profile viewers’ list for the last 90 days.
    You can switch back to showing your profile views at any time if you wish to see who viewed your profile and are okay with others knowing when you view theirs. Just remember the trade-off when using private modes on a free account.
    By adjusting your profile viewing options, you can browse profiles more privately while being mindful of the visibility settings’ impact on viewing your own profile visitors without a Premium subscription.
    Hope this helps!
    Best,
    Sean
