Manage your LinkedIn notification updates

Last updated: 7 months ago

You can directly manage notifications about yourself, your activity, and your connections from the Notifications tab to determine which types of notifications you'd like to receive.

  • Delete - Removes the notification.
  • Mute - Stop receiving updates on a specific post, person, or a particular thread on your feed.
  • Turn off - Stop receiving a certain type of notification, such as likes job changes, or work anniversaries from the people you're following.

Note: You may not see all these options depending on the type of notification you're managing.

To manage notification updates:

  1. Click the Notifications icon at the top of your LinkedIn homepage.

  2. Click the More icon to the right of a specific notification and select Delete, Mute, or Turn off from the dropdown.

To turn on a notification update and improve your notifications:

  1. Click the Notifications icon at the top of your LinkedIn homepage.

  2. Under Manage your Notifications on the left pane of the page, click View Settings.

    • The View settings option will only appear after you've specifically turned off a notification. 

  3. Under Notifications you receive, click a category to see the types of notification settings you can manage.

  4. Switch the toggle to On to the right of the notification you want to receive again.

    • You can also turn on or off other notification updates from this page.   
Notes:
  • If you turn back on a notification update, you'll start receiving these alerts again. All previous notifications of this type will also be surfaced on the Notifications tab.
  • If you turn off a notification update, all existing notifications for this type will be removed from the Notifications tab and you'll no longer receive these alerts.
  • You won't receive any associated push notifications on the LinkedIn mobile app for notification updates that are turned off from the Notifications tab.
  • You'll still receive notification updates on the Notifications tab when push notifications are turned off from the LinkedIn mobile app Settings page.
  • Turning off notifications doesn’t change the content that appears in your feed.
