Mentions and tags allow you to notify your connections that you're talking about them in a post, comment, or photo. If you're tagged by another member, you'll receive an email and update on LinkedIn.com notifying you. Your profile will also be linked in the post, comment, or photo.
You can remove the tag from a post or photo on desktop or the mobile app at any time, but removing a profile link from a comment is currently only available on the LinkedIn mobile app.
To remove a mention from a post or comment:
-
Click the
More icon in the top right corner of a connection's post. -
Click Remove mention from the list of options that appears.
-
Click Remove.
-
The post will no longer link to your profile.
Once you've removed the mention, your name will still appear in plain text but the link to your profile won't be present.
To remove a tag from a photo:
-
Click on the
Tag icon on the photo. -
Click on the
X icon next to the tag with your name to remove the tag.
The member that mentioned you originally won't be notified that you've untagged yourself from the post.
If you don't want any of your connections or other members to tag you in their posts/comments, you can disable mentions and tags by others.
