Quick Summary
You can easily stop email notifications from LinkedIn on your iPhone by adjusting the notification settings directly within the LinkedIn mobile app. The main steps are:
- Open the LinkedIn app on your iPhone
- Tap on your profile picture in the top left
- Select “Settings & Privacy”
- Tap “Notifications”
- Adjust the notification toggles for each email type
This will disable any LinkedIn email notifications you no longer wish to receive on your iPhone. You can always go back and re-enable certain notification types later if needed.
Disabling Specific Email Notifications
The LinkedIn app for iOS allows you to selectively toggle off specific email notification types. This gives you granular control to keep getting notifications you find useful while disabling ones you don’t.
Here are the steps to adjust LinkedIn email notifications on an iPhone:
- Launch the LinkedIn app on your iPhone. Tap on the LinkedIn icon from your home screen.
- Once the app loads, tap on your profile picture or initials in the top left corner.
- This will bring up a side menu. Select “Settings & Privacy” near the bottom.
- On the Settings & Privacy page, choose “Notifications” from the list.
- You will now see a list of different notification types for the LinkedIn app. Find the “Email notifications” section.
- Toggle off any email notification types you want to disable. The toggle will turn gray when disabled.
Some of the email notification categories you may wish to disable include:
- Comments on your posts
- Likes on your content
- New followers
- Profile views
- Birthday reminders
- Messages
- Mentions
Once you have things adjusted to your preferences, exit back out of the LinkedIn app. Now you will stop receiving the email notifications you toggled off.
Managing Notifications on LinkedIn Website
In addition to the mobile app, you can also change your LinkedIn email notification settings by visiting the LinkedIn website on your iPhone’s web browser.
Here is how to update your email notification preferences on LinkedIn.com:
- Go to the LinkedIn website by entering www.linkedin.com in your mobile browser.
- Log into your LinkedIn account if prompted.
- Tap on the “Me” icon at the top of the screen (your profile picture).
- Choose “Settings & Privacy” from the dropdown menu.
- Scroll down and select “Communications” on the Settings page.
- Under Email preferences, click “Notifications”.
- Toggle off any email notification types you want to stop receiving.
- Click “Save” to apply changes.
Any email notification settings changed on LinkedIn.com will also carry over to the mobile app. So you have the flexibility to manage notifications from either platform based on your personal preference.
Customizing Frequency of Email Digests
In addition to real-time notifications, LinkedIn also lets you control the frequency of bundled email digests:
- Daily Digest – Summarizes activity from the day
- Weekly Digest – Summarizes the past week’s notifications
Here are the steps for updating digest frequency on an iPhone:
- Open the LinkedIn app and tap your profile picture.
- Choose “Settings & Privacy > Notifications”.
- Tap into “Digest Emails”.
- Adjust the toggle for Daily Digest and/or Weekly Digest. Choose Off, On, or Less Often.
- Tap “Back” to save changes.
Customizing your digest frequency allows you to bundle notifications into a summary. Instead of many emails throughout the week, you can get a single digest email delivered daily or weekly.
Disabling LinkedIn Emails Entirely
If you want to disable LinkedIn emails altogether, you have two options:
- Turn off all email notifications in the LinkedIn app and website settings.
- Unsubscribe from LinkedIn emails in your email account.
To stop emails through LinkedIn settings:
- Open the LinkedIn app and go to “Settings & Privacy > Notifications”.
- Toggle OFF all available email notification toggles.
- On LinkedIn.com go to “Settings & Privacy > Communications” and turn off email notifications.
To unsubscribe directly from your email provider:
- Open your email inbox on your iPhone.
- Search for a message sent from a LinkedIn email address.
- Look for an “Unsubscribe” link at the bottom.
- Click the unsubscribe link and confirm you want to stop receiving messages.
This will tell LinkedIn to stop sending any emails to that email account. Keep in mind that unsubscribing applies to the email address, while adjusting notifications in the LinkedIn app applies to your specific account.
Troubleshooting Tips
If you are still receiving LinkedIn emails after disabling notifications, here are some troubleshooting tips:
- Double check that you properly toggled off the email notifications in the LinkedIn app or website settings.
- Confirm you updated the notification settings on the correct LinkedIn account.
- Log out then back into the LinkedIn app to refresh the notification settings.
- Check for any email notification defaults that need to be disabled for new LinkedIn followers.
- Give the changes a day or two to take effect across LinkedIn’s systems.
- As a last resort, unsubscribe from LinkedIn emails in your email provider as outlined above.
Persisting notifications typically mean something was missed when disabling them. Following the steps again carefully or unsubscribing outright should resolve any issues.
Re-Enabling Select Notifications
If you change your mind later and want to start receiving certain LinkedIn email notifications again, just re-enable them:
- In the LinkedIn app, go back to “Settings & Privacy > Notifications”.
- Toggle ON any email notifications you want to start receiving again.
- On the LinkedIn website, re-enable email notifications under “Communications”.
- Click “Save” to apply your new preferences.
Review the various types of notifications available and toggle on any that you find useful. This allows you to customize things so you only get emails you actually want.
The LinkedIn app makes it easy to manage your preferences. And toggling email notifications on or off takes just a few taps once you know where to look in the app settings.
