How to Block Someone on LinkedIn

Blocking is an essential tool that allows us to choose who we interact with. All of us might have had to block someone on a social media platform at one point or another.

This might be because the account’s content was preventing you from browsing your feed properly or because you didn’t like the content the account sent you.

LinkedIn is an extremely popular professional platform that is used to conduct all sorts of business. Whether you’re looking to find details about your new client or you’re just searching for details on your new employer, LinkedIn is one of the best ways to do it.

It is an extremely simple process that you can complete in a few steps:

1. Go to the “More” section on the profile of the person.
2. Click on the button that says “Report/Block”.
