How to Enable LinkedIn Private Mode for Anonymous Browsing
1 min read
Summary
Private Mode allows users to anonymously view LinkedIn profiles
This means the person whose profile is being viewed will not be aware of who it was, only seeing a generic label in their ‘Who’s Viewed Your Profile’ section.
Private Mode is useful for those researching potential connections or looking into job opportunities without attracting attention to themselves.
It can be enabled on desktops and phones through the Settings & Privacy sections within the dropdown menu.
When enabled, users will also be unable to see who has viewed their own profile.
This can make it more difficult to connect with people unaware of your prior interest.
Recruiters won’t be able to see if a jobseeker has viewed their profile, which could reduce the chance of them being noticed.
However, Private Mode can still be beneficial for those wishing to stay anonymous whilst browsing others’ profiles.
