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:

  1. Open LinkedIn and search for the person you want to block.
  2. Visit their profile.
  3. Tap the three dots (•••) near their profile picture.
  4. Select Report or Block.
  5. 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.
