How to Restrict Someone on LinkedIn

Updated on:

Use this interactive demo to learn how to block or restrict someone on LinkedIn in a few clicks.

Quick summary

To restrict someone on LinkedIn, navigate to their profile, open the More menu, and choose to unfollow, report, or fully block them. Blocking prevents the person from contacting you or viewing your LinkedIn profile entirely.


Steps

  1. Go to the person's profile page and click the 'More' button.
  2. Click 'Following' to unfollow the person and stop seeing their content.
  3. Alternatively, click 'Report/Block' to access stronger restriction options.
  4. Select 'Block' to fully prevent the person from contacting you or viewing your profile.

📌 Why this matters

Knowing how to restrict or block someone on LinkedIn is essential for maintaining a safe and professional networking environment. LinkedIn's built-in restriction tools — including unfollow, report, and block — give users direct control over who can view their profile and send them messages. Whether dealing with unwanted outreach, harassment, or simply managing your network, these privacy features help protect your personal brand and online boundaries. Using LinkedIn's block feature ensures complete separation, preventing any further interaction from the restricted connection.
