Things to know before blocking someone on LinkedIn

If you block a member on LinkedIn, you won’t be able to access each other’s profiles on LinkedIn. You also won’t be able to message or see each other’s content. After blocking unwanted profiles, you will no longer be connected to them anymore.

LinkedIn will also remove any endorsements or recommendations received from that member. A blocked member may still view your profile and posts if they are public. To do this, you can hide the public version of your profile.
