Block Someone on LinkedIn Permanently | Generated by AI
Question: How to block someone on LinkedIn so they are removed as a connection and cannot send you invitations anymore?
Answer:
On LinkedIn, simply removing a connection is not enough—they can still view your profile and send you another invitation. To fully prevent contact, you need to block them.
✅ Best method: Block the person
This both removes the connection and prevents any future interaction.
Steps:
- Go to the person’s profile.
- Click the “More” button (usually next to “Message”).
- Select “Report/Block”.
- Click “Block [Name]”.
- Enter your LinkedIn password (if prompted) and confirm.
🔒 What happens after blocking:
- They are automatically removed from your connections.
- They cannot send you connection requests anymore.
- They cannot view your profile (with some rare edge cases like shared groups).
- You also won’t see their profile or activity.
⚠️ If you only remove connection (not recommended here)
Steps:
- Go to their profile.
- Click “More” → “Remove connection”.
But:
- They can still reconnect or message you again.
💡 Extra control (optional)
If you don’t want to fully block but still reduce contact:
- Adjust who can send you invitations (Settings → Visibility).
- Turn off or limit message requests.
Bottom line:
- Remove connection = temporary
- Block = permanent control (what you want)
