Yes, you can see who views your LinkedIn profile, but the details you see depend on your account type and the viewer’s privacy settings.
What You Can See on LinkedIn
- With a Basic (free) account:
You can see the names and headlines of some recent viewers, but only if those viewers have not chosen to browse in private mode. Usually, you see the last 5 viewers with their name, headline, location, and industry. If viewers use private mode, you will see them as "LinkedIn Member" without any identifying details
- With a Premium account:
You get more detailed insights, including the ability to see who viewed your profile over the last 90 days or even up to a year, filter viewers by company, industry, or location, and get more comprehensive analytics. However, even Premium users cannot see the identities of viewers who choose private mode
Privacy Settings of Viewers
When someone views your profile, their privacy settings determine what you see:
- Public profile: You see their full name, headline, location, and industry.
- Semi-private profile characteristics: You see limited info like job title, company, or school but not their name.
- Private mode: You only see "LinkedIn Member" with no other details
How to Check Who Viewed Your Profile
- Click the Me icon at the top of your LinkedIn homepage.
- Select View Profile.
- Scroll down to the Analytics section.
- Click on the number next to Profile views to see your viewer insights
How to Control What Others See When You View Their Profile
You can adjust your own profile viewing options to control what information others see when you visit their profiles:
- Go to Settings & Privacy > Visibility > Profile viewing options.
- Choose between showing your name and headline, private profile characteristics, or private mode.
- Note: If you select private mode without Premium, you lose the ability to see who viewed your profile and your viewer history is erased
In summary, LinkedIn allows you to see who viewed your profile with varying levels of detail depending on your subscription and the privacy settings of the viewers. Private mode viewers remain anonymous regardless of your account type
