Changing your Linkedin setting to anonymous after accidentally clicking on a profile

[jingramm]

Anyone know if your name still shows after changing it to anonymous? I accidentally clicked on someone and I don't want this person to know for personal and professional reasons that I viewed it.

I viewed it for personal and professional reasons.

Was it a good fap?

 

[Nograts]

Fapping at LinkedIn now? Good god man, control yourself!

 

[Puppies04]

BTW how do you accidentally click on someone for personal and professional reasons. I'm curious.

"Whenever you switch to anonymous, your viewer history gets erased."

Not sure what they mean exactly by viewer history. It would not be beneficial if it means it erases who saw you or showing you who you saw... so I'd guess yes - who you saw gets erased for that person.

you're honestly asking for help covering your tracks stalking a person?

No, I meant I don't want the person to know for personal and professional reasons.

What does the person knowing for personal and professional reasons have to do with you viewing it for personal and professional reasons?

Oh, and there's a very good chance they may or may not know yet already.

I wasn't stalking
I was looking through the "people you may know" list and accidentally clicked on it

I found out that my name will still show :/

What are you, 12? Why does it matter that you looked at their profile on a public website?

Punctuation fail maybe.

Because of his court order....

OP should have put more points into wis.

 

[Krazy4Real]

You should send them a message to immediately disregard that you accidentally clicked on their profile for personal and professional reasons, or else you will be forced to take immediate action to protect your personal and professional interests.

by the way, what falls outside the spectrum of personal and professional?

Those things that are unprofessionally impersonal.

This is fantastic. Clearly, this is the best course of action to protect your personal and professional interests!

i'm sure that's what OP was thinking when he initially viewed the profile.
personally and professionally, of course.
