Steps
- Click your profile picture in the top-right corner of LinkedIn to open the dropdown menu.
- Select Settings & Privacy from the dropdown menu.
- In the left sidebar, click on Visibility.
- Under Visibility of your LinkedIn Activity, click Manage active status.
- Select No one to prevent anyone from seeing when you are online or recently active.
- Your active status is now hidden — no one will be able to see when you are online or active on LinkedIn.
