Hide your identity when viewing profiles
“
- [Instructor] LinkedIn users have the ability to see who's viewed their profile on their dashboard. You do, however, as the viewer, have the ability to control what's shown when you're viewing other people's profiles. In order to change this setting, click on your profile picture in the upper right. From the dropdown, select Settings and Privacy. And then on the left, click on the Visibility tab. From the center, we now want to select Profile Viewing options. By default, it will be set to saying your name and headline. However, you can set it to two other more private settings. You can set it to private profile characteristics, in which they'll see your role and location, or you can switch it to private mode where they'll only see that anonymous LinkedIn member has viewed their profile. One quick note, though, is that if you don't have LinkedIn Premium, selecting one of the two private settings will disable your ability to see who's viewed your profile and it will erase your viewer history. So when viewing profiles on LinkedIn, make sure to adjust your profile viewing options.
