How to deactivate the "viewers of this profile also viewed" function

Have you ever seen the function on Amazon: "Customers who bought xy also buy"? LinkedIn does something similar on your profile with a link to other profiles.

For most people, this is probably a less desirable feature, since a longer visit time on your profile will result in more interaction and is therefore potentially beneficial to your efforts. So, let's take a look at how you can disable this feature in LinkedIn.

In case the Gif doesn't load, here is everything step by step:

  1. Login to your LinkedIn Account
  2. Navigate to the right side and click "Me 🔻"
  3. In the dropdown menu click on "Settings & Privacy" (a new page  opens)
  4. Navigate in the left sidebar to "Account Preferences"
  5. Click the link "Viewers of this profile also viewed"
  6. Switch the toggle to "off" (grey state)
