LinkedIn Is Testing a Feature That Lets You See Your Profile Stalkers
LinkedIn is testing a “Frequent Viewer” label that tells some Premium users when someone has viewed their profile repeatedly. The feature could help users spot potential work opportunities, but it may also reveal unwanted attention from people they would rather avoid.
The test was confirmed by LinkedIn, which gave no further details. Creative agency founder Krista Mollion, who has nearly 79,000 followers, says she uses the information to identify possible business leads and has blocked one viewer. LinkedIn lets users choose public, semi-private or fully private profile viewing in its privacy settings.
In short
- LinkedIn is testing repeated-viewer alerts for some Premium users.
- The feature may surface both business leads and unwanted attention.
- Profile viewing can be set to public, semi-private or private.
