Block Someone on LinkedIn: A Complete Guide
Some people do not respect your time and will constantly
send irrelevant requests, spam your inbox, or make your LinkedIn experience
unpleasant. Thankfully, LinkedIn provides a simple yet effective way to manage
this—its blocking feature. In this blog by Indzu
Social, we’ll explain how to block someone on LinkedIn, what happens
when you block them, and how to manage your privacy better.
What Happens When You Block Someone?
When you block someone on LinkedIn, several changes occur
immediately. The blocked person will not be able to view your profile, send you
connection requests, or message you. Any past connections will be removed, and
they will disappear from your search results. You also won’t see their updates,
comments, or activities, and neither of you will show up in “People You May
Know” or “People Also Viewed.” Importantly, LinkedIn does not notify them, so
the action remains private.
How to Block Someone on LinkedIn (Step by Step)
Blocking is easy and takes only a few seconds:
- Open
LinkedIn and search for the person you want to block.
- Visit
their profile.
- Tap
the three dots (•••) near their profile picture.
- Select
Report or Block.
- Choose
Block [Name] and confirm.
You can also unblock them later by going to Settings →
Visibility → Blocking and removing them from your blocked list.
Key Takeaway
Blocking is a powerful way to protect your LinkedIn
experience, but it should be used wisely. If someone is harassing you,
spamming, or simply wasting your time, don’t hesitate to block them. By
learning how to block
someone on LinkedIn, you can maintain control of your professional
space and ensure a positive networking environment.
