How to Hide your Contact Info on LinkedIn
Try this interactive demo to learn how to hide your contact info on LinkedIn.
📌 Why this matters
Hiding your contact details prevents unwanted connection requests from recruiters, salespeople, and strangers who find your profile through reverse email or phone lookups. You maintain control over who can reach you while still networking with people you actually want to connect with. Beyond privacy, this creates a filtering effect that makes your eventual connections more meaningful. When someone does connect with you, you know they found you through your professional content or mutual contacts rather than scraping your information from other sources.
