How to Turn Off LinkedIn Active Status

Updated on:

Use this interactive demo to learn how to disable your active status on LinkedIn.

Quick summary

Turning off your LinkedIn active status prevents other users from seeing when you are online or recently active. You can control this through the Visibility settings in Settings & Privacy in just a few clicks.


Steps

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

📌 Why this matters

Controlling your LinkedIn active status is an essential privacy feature for professionals who want to browse, research, or message contacts without signaling their online presence. By setting your active status to No one, you can review profiles, respond to messages on your own schedule, and maintain boundaries without social pressure. This setting is particularly valuable for job seekers, recruiters, and anyone who wants more control over their LinkedIn visibility. Taking just a few seconds to disable this feature gives you a more private and distraction-free LinkedIn experience.
