Settings for profile photo visibility

Last updated: 2 years ago
You can control the visibility of your profile photo. Posting a profile photo is optional, but it helps your connections and others to recognize you. In fact, members with profile photos can receive up to 21 times more profile views than those without profile photos.
Notes:
  • The default photo setting is Public/Anyone/Everyone.

  • If you edit your profile photo visibility settings from your profile page, it automatically updates the settings on your public profile page too. For example, if you change your profile photo visibility setting from Public to 1st-degree connections Only, that change will also be applied to your public profile.

  • You can set different visibility for your public profile and the profile view your LinkedIn connections see. For example, you can opt to exclude your Posts and Activities, or other parts of your profile, from your public profile.

  • If your public profile is disabled (visible to no one), your profile photo visibility setting cannot be set as Public.
