If you’ve reached this article, it’s probably because you’re tired of receiving emails from LinkedIn or are receiving too many notifications.
The social network – owned by Microsoft since 2016 – has changed the way it manages notifications, alerts, and emails it sends to users. Although it claims this is “to make the experience easier,” the reality is that it’s quite common to start receiving unexpected emails on a regular basis, and this angers many users.
So, if you also want to stop receiving annoying emails from LinkedIn or don’t want to receive constant notifications from the social network, in this article you’ll find a way to manage them all from one place.
Manage the emails and alerts that LinkedIn sends you
Although the steps you need to follow are simple, we do warn you that properly configuring all the alerts and notifications you want to receive can take a while.
And the social network, despite what it claims, “hasn’t simplified the process.” Instead, it offers more than a hundred options—many of which are enabled by default—that you’ll have to manually deactivate to ensure your platform experience is the one you want. With that in mind, do the following:
-Log in to your LinkedIn account and tap your profile icon in the top right corner of the screen.
-In the menu that appears, select “Settings and privacy.”
-A new page will open, where you must select the “Notifications” option. It’s the last one in the left column.
-There you’ll see all the notification options available, grouped into 13 thematic areas: “job hunting,” “hiring,” “connecting with others,” “updates to keep you up to date with your network,” and so on.
-You’ll have to go into each one and you’ll see that you can deactivate all notifications at once by clicking the button in the right corner.
However, if you only want to adjust some f them, you’ll need to access the sections included in each topic area. You’ll need to check them out one by one to adjust them to your liking.
-Within each of them, you’ll have three options to choose where to receive notifications: “In-app notifications,” “Push notifications” (which are sent to your device immediately), and “Email.”
You can select whether you want to activate or deactivate each one, and whether or not you want to receive notifications in the LinkedIn app, on your mobile phone, or via email.
As I said, it’s a tedious process to go into each topic area and section, but it’s the only way to personalize your experience with LinkedIn notifications and alerts.
