According to LinkedIn's policies and user experiences as of 2021, when you block someone, they are not notified of the action. However, a crucial point to consider is that blocking someone on LinkedIn does not completely sever all visibility. Specifically, if someone you have blocked tries to access your profile, they will not be able to see your profile picture, your headline, or any other part of your profile that might be visible to others.

When you block someone on LinkedIn, a series of actions are triggered that affect how you and the blocked person interact on the platform. One common question that arises is whether the blocked individual can still see your profile. As of 2021, understanding LinkedIn's blocking feature and its implications on visibility is crucial.

Here is the most misunderstood aspect of blocking on LinkedIn in 2021: Blocking only works when the other person is signed into the blocked account. Block when:
