Yes, LinkedIn does provide a way to see who has viewed your profile. However, it depends on whether you use a Basic (Free) account or a LinkedIn Premium account. You won’t see those viewers who’ve made their accounts private. In this blog, we will discuss the differences between LinkedIn’s free account and Premium account regarding profile views. Moreover, we’ll offer a practical guide on checking who viewed your profile and how to set your account to private while viewing other members’ profiles anonymously. Basic (free) Account If you’re using a free LinkedIn account, you can see how many times your profile has been viewed in the last 90 days. Plus, you’ll see the names and headlines of just the five most recent viewers. Premium Account A Premium LinkedIn account user can access a full list of viewers, viewer trends, and insights from the past 365 days. However, even with an upgraded LinkedIn account, you won’t be able to see semi-private and private profiles that view your profile page. Apart from account type, LinkedIn offers three profile privacy settings that determine which viewers you can see. Such as: Fully Public Accounts: You’ll have full details about your viewers, including their name, headline, location, and industry. For Partially Public Accounts: You’ll see some information like their job title, industry, or educational background, but not their display name and headline. For Private Accounts: You won’t receive any information about your viewers except for “A LinkedIn Member” when they view your profile page. How to See Who Viewed Your LinkedIn Profile?
