LinkedIn does show who views your profile, but only partially and with a lot of control given to the viewer’s privacy settings and your account type. You will never get a 100% complete, always-identified list of everyone who has looked at you.

Quick Scoop

  • Yes, LinkedIn has a “Who’s viewed your profile” section visible to all users (free and Premium).
  • What you see depends on:
    • Their privacy mode (public, semi-private, or private/anonymous).
* Your plan (free vs Premium; Premium gets more history and analytics, not full identities of anonymous viewers).
  • If someone browses you in Private Mode , they show up only as “LinkedIn Member” or similar, with no identifying info.
  • If you turn on Private Mode yourself, you also lose detailed access to your own visitor list while it is enabled (quid‑pro‑quo).

How it works in practice

  • On a free account:
    • You see a limited list (often around the last few visitors) plus a 90‑day count of profile views.
* You only get details for people who were not in full private mode when they viewed you.
  • On Premium:
    • You see a longer history of viewers and richer trend insights (who they are by role, company, location), but still no names for private/anonymous viewers.
  • The viewer’s visibility setting controls what you see:
    • Public: name, headline, location, industry.
* Semi‑private: generic description like “Marketing Manager in Tech at X company”.

* Private: only something like “LinkedIn Member” with no extra info.

Can people see when you view them?

  • If your profile viewing mode is public or semi‑private , they can see that you visited, with details matching your setting (name + headline, or just company/role).
  • If you switch to Private Mode , they will only see that someone viewed them, not that it was you.
  • There is a trade‑off: staying public helps you see more about who visits your profile; going private protects your identity but reduces your own visibility data.

Mini FAQ

  • Does LinkedIn ever show all viewers with names?
    No. Anonymous/private-mode viewers remain anonymous, even with Premium.
  • If I go private after viewing someone, does it hide my visit retroactively?
    Generally, no: the visit made while public can still be visible in their list; changing your setting mainly affects future views.
  • Can I see who viewed my profile without Premium?
    Yes, but with limits: only a small recent subset of viewers and partial data for some of them.

**TL;DR:** LinkedIn does show who views your profile, but only for people who are not using full private mode, and even with Premium you cannot unmask anonymous viewers. Information gathered from public forums or data available on the internet and portrayed here.
