LinkedIn is a necessary evil. It’s the last place you actually want to hang out. But, being active on LinkedIn might lead you to better career opportunities. So you end up creating the account, filling up your profile, installing the app. Only to be annoyed by the email and app notifications. Today, we’ll put an end to that.
How To Disable Email Notification Settings in LinkedIn
LinkedIn’s website was recently redesigned. It looks a lot like Facebook now. In the process, the settings for email notifications have been reshuffled. Actually, you won’t even find a page that expressly says that this is where you can turn off all email notifications. No, it’s under “communications” and “email frequency”. But we’ll get there. Follow the steps below and mind your step. This is LinkedIn territory.
Go to the LinkedIn website and login.
Step 1: Click on your profile picture in the top-right and select Settings & Privacy.
Step 2: Then, click on Communications.
Step 3: Here, you’ll find a list of things LinkedIn wants to communicate you about. First click on Email Frequency and disable the items you don’t want LinkedIn to email you about.
Step 4: Then come back to the Communications page and go through everything. You’ll be able to disable notifications about group invites, messages and more, all from this page.
