Content: Select the “Privacy” tab at the top of the screen
Tap “Profile viewing options”
Choose what viewers see when visiting your profile, from public to fully private in three setting selections. It’s important to note that your options are a bit more limited in the mobile menu than they are when on LinkedIn with a computer. You can easily switch between the three different privacy settings on mobile, but you can’t fine-tune the information displayed as much on mobile as you can on PC. If you want more control over what your visitors see at your profile, you will have to make these adjustments on a computer, or switch your mobile device to desktop-mode while browsing the LinkedIn site using your browser instead of the mobile app. Why you would want to use LinkedIn Private Mode and when
Different users have varying reasons for wanting to use LinkedIn Private Mode. Some job-seekers prefer to keep themselves anonymous while looking at different companies in their industry, especially if they are researching while actively employed. ( Many employers frown on their employees searching for new work opportunities.) Sales specialists and recruiters also might want to keep themselves hidden while generating a big list of potential leads until they finally reach out. Generally, if you want to do a bit of anonymous browsing around LinkedIn, Private Mode can be a good tool to do that. Many newer users also enjoy staying private while looking around and trying to learn more about the LinkedIn platform early on.
