How to Unfollow on LinkedIn (2026)
Unfollowing quietly removes someone’s posts from your feed without disconnecting — they’re never notified. It’s the cleanest way to declutter your feed while keeping your network intact. Here’s how.
1. Unfollow a Person (Keep the Connection)
- Go to the person’s profile.
- Click the More (⋯) button next to Message.
- Select Unfollow.
You stay 1st-degree connected — you just won’t see their posts. They aren’t notified.
You can also unfollow straight from your feed: click the ⋯ in the top-right of any post and choose Unfollow [name].
2. Unfollow a Company Page
- Open the company page.
- Click Following (the button toggles) or the ⋯ menu.
- Choose Unfollow.
3. Unfollow a Hashtag
- Click More in the left sidebar of your homepage to see followed hashtags, or open the hashtag page.
- Click Following > Unfollow.
4. Manage Everyone You Follow in One Place
To bulk-clean your feed:
- Go to Settings & Privacy isn’t needed — instead open me icon path: from your homepage left rail, click your follow counts, or visit your profile and the Followers / Following manager.
- Use the Following tab to unfollow people and pages one tap at a time.
This is the fastest way to prune a feed that’s drifted off-topic.
5. Unfollow vs. Disconnect vs. Block
- Unfollow: stay connected, hide their posts. Silent.
- Remove connection: drop the 1st-degree link (re-request needed to reconnect). Silent.
- Block: they can’t view your profile or message you. Use for harassment.
6. Troubleshooting
I unfollowed but still see their posts
Reshares and comments from your network can resurface a post. You’ll also still see their content if you follow a hashtag they use heavily.
There’s no Unfollow option
You may already be unfollowed (the button shows Follow), or you’re viewing a 2nd/3rd-degree profile where you only have Follow/Connect.
Did they get notified?
No. Unfollowing and removing connections are both private actions.

"Before Carly, I relied on a Calendly link, but the whole process felt impersonal and not very professional. Carly changed that by handling all the back-and-forth, so I'm no longer stuck in endless email threads trying to line up schedules.
Now Carly reaches out to candidates, shares my real-time availability, lets them pick a slot, then sends a Zoom link and drops it straight into my calendar. She sends reminders to both of us before each call, which has significantly reduced no-shows and last-minute confusion.
On top of scheduling, Carly acts like a full executive assistant, sending me my schedule the night before so I can prepare for each call. It reminds me of the old x.ai assistant, but Carly is noticeably smarter, faster, and better suited to my healthcare recruitment business."
