Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about turning off LinkedIn notifications.

How do I turn off notifications on LinkedIn?

Click your profile icon in the top-right, open your Notifications settings, then go through each category one at a time and toggle off the notification types you don't want. Your changes save automatically.

Can I turn off only certain types of notifications?

Yes. LinkedIn groups notifications into categories such as Searching for a job, Posting and commenting, Network, and Messaging. Open any category to switch individual notification types on or off without disabling everything.

Does turning off notifications stop emails too?

Not always. In-app notifications and email notifications are controlled separately. To stop emails, also visit the Email frequency settings under Communications and adjust which messages LinkedIn is allowed to email you.

Can I turn off LinkedIn notifications on mobile?

Yes. In the app, tap your profile photo, open Settings, then Notifications, and toggle off the categories you want. You can also silence push notifications entirely from your phone's system settings for the LinkedIn app.

Will people know I turned off notifications?

No. Notification preferences are completely private. Turning them off only changes what you receive — it does not affect or notify anyone else, and people can still interact with your content as normal.

Can I turn notifications back on later?

Absolutely. Return to the same Notifications settings at any time and toggle any category back on. Changes take effect immediately, so you can fine-tune what you receive whenever you like.
