Want to see a LinkedIn profile without them knowing? Here's how to browse LinkedIn in Private Mode and anonymise your viewing data. Anonymously browse LinkedIn's business network and view profiles without them knowing
By Marie Black, Editor In Chief | 23 Apr 2018
LinkedIn is a business social network, and the place to be if you're looking for a new job or curious as to what happened to the guy who used to sit next to you in the office. If someone looks at your profile, it's usually because they are interested in you at a professional level - so you want to know, right? Occasionally, though, you'll discover that the person who viewed your profile has hidden their identity. So you know someone's looking, but not who. It's annoying, but it is also possible to see why that might appeal to some, such as those headhunting for a role or cross-referencing your CV to your public persona. It may even appeal to you, but you should know that in preventing others being able to see you've viewed their profile you lose the right to see who has viewed your own (unless you're prepared to pay for LinkedIn Premium ). Fair's fair. How to privately browse LinkedIn
Log into LinkedIn in a desktop browser
Tap the downward triangle under the Me tab in the top bar
Select 'Settings & Privacy'
Select the 'Privacy' tab
Scroll down to the 'How others see your LinkedIn activity' section
Click Change next to 'Profile viewing options'
Tick the box for 'Private mode' or 'Private profile characteristics'
Private mode will completely anonymise your LinkedIn activity, whereas Private profile characteristics will merely reveal the company you work for.
