How to Turn on LinkedIn Private Mode (+Browse in Secret!) January 31, 2019
by Mara Calvello
One of the things I love about LinkedIn is that it shows me who has viewed my profile. However, one of the things I hate about LinkedIn is that I can’t browse someone’s profile without them knowing. At least, that’s what I thought. I had no idea that you could activate LinkedIn Private Mode, making it easy to view other people's profiles, and no one will know it’s me (unless I want them to). It’s easy to change your settings to Private Mode, so whether you're checking out a LinkedIn business page or the profile of a past coworker, you can choose if you’d like them to know of your visit or not.

Click Settings & Privacy under the Me icon
Scroll to How others see your LinkedIn Activity and click Change next to Profile Viewing Options
Choose Private Mode
Using LinkedIn Private Mode
Out of all the social media platforms, I feel most productive when I’m on LinkedIn. Whether I’m connecting with an old colleague or posting an article to share my thoughts and expertise, there’s a lot more to do than just apply for open jobs. With the debut of Private Mode, users like myself can also check out the profile of a connection without them knowing.
