Getting notifications about LinkedIn profile views, but don’t know who is visiting? Follow the guide to know who has been visiting your profile in a few simple steps. We shall see that, along with the prerequisites. Let us begin.
Who can view my LinkedIn profile?
Absolutely anybody on LinkedIn can. Whoever has an account on LinkedIn can possibly view your LinkedIn profile too. It is not a difficult thing, really. However, the game turns if you have altered the settings on your profile. We shall discuss the steps for them in the coming segment, and you can see if it works well for you.
Does LinkedIn notify users about profile views?
Absolutely! LinkedIn notifies you via the app as well as email (if the profile viewer has also sent a connection request). This way you can actually know that your profile has been visited by somebody. If you are a regular user but don’t have a premium subscription, then you may be seeing a handful of viewers along with the notification, but still not all. It is only visible to all the people who have a premium subscription in most cases.
Steps to see who viewed my LinkedIn profile
If you want to see the names of the accounts that have viewed your LinkedIn profile, then you can follow the given steps –
- Log in to your LinkedIn account – Go to the LinkedIn website or open the mobile app and log in to your active or current account.
- Access your profile- On the desktop, click the “Me” icon with your profile picture in the top navigation bar, then click on “View Profile.” On the mobile app, tap your profile picture in the top-left corner.
- Look for the “Analytics” section- Scroll down your profile page until you see a section labeled “Analytics & tools.”
- Click on “Profile views”- Within the “Analytics & tools” section, you’ll see a number indicating “Profile views.” Click on this to see who has viewed your profile.
Now you will be displayed the names of the people who have visited your profile, and their accounts can be opened up once you click on their name. But be cautious as they will also get notified about your visit to their profile by the platform.
LinkedIn vs. LinkedIn Premium
There is a catch when it comes to seeing the profile viewers with two different kinds of LinkedIn accounts. If you have the basic and the normal version, you can only view up to 5 of your profile visitors. But if you have a premium account, then there is no such limit. That means you can see all the people who have visited your account and get many additional benefits of being a premium subscriber.
In any case, the steps to see the profile viewers remain largely the same. LinkedIn works just fine without the subscription, but if you use it on a huge level for your professional prospects, then a subscription won’t hurt.
