How to Stop LinkedIn Emails

Key Takeaways

• Most emails from LinkedIn will come with an unsubscribe option, which could be an easy way to stop receiving them.
• You may also update settings on the mobile app or web service so that you stop getting emails.

Method 1: Using the LinkedIn Mobile Apps

You can use LinkedIn mobile apps to turn off email notifications. We will use the LinkedIn Android app in the screenshots below. You can follow the same steps on the LinkedIn iOS app and turn off email alerts. Both mobile apps use the same user interface.

Step 1: Open the LinkedIn app on your phone. Sign in with your account details.

Step 2: Tap your circular account picture at the top-left corner and tap Settings.

Step 3: Tap Notifications > select a notification type you don’t want to receive in an email.

Step 4: You can disable all notification categories from the top. Then, go to a specific notification type and turn off alerts on your primary email.

You’ll need to repeat this for all notification types and stop your LinkedIn emails.

Method 2: Using LinkedIn Web

If you prefer LinkedIn on the web, you can turn off LinkedIn job alerts using the desktop version. Visit the LinkedIn website and follow the steps below to make changes.

Step 1: Sign in with your LinkedIn account details.

Step 2: Select your account picture at the top-right corner > Settings & Privacy from the context menu.

Step 3: Select Notifications from the sidebar.

Step 4: You can check all the notification categories. Select a relevant notification type.

Step 5: Disable all notifications from the following menu.

Step 6: You can also enter each notification type and disable email alerts.

To stop receiving annoying emails from the company, repeat the same for all LinkedIn notification categories.

You can also tweak email frequency for notifications. You can receive every update on your email, get it weekly, or receive LinkedIn-recommended emails only.

Method 3: Unsubscribe From Your Email

LinkedIn allows you to unsubscribe from emails received from the email service you use. Here’s what you must do.

Step 1: Find a LinkedIn email you no longer wish to receive again.

Step 2: Look for a tiny Unsubscribe button at the bottom and click on it.

Step 3: The email opens a new tab and may ask you to log in with your LinkedIn account details. LinkedIn will unsubscribe you from the email type.

Step 4: Click Manage other email preferences. The service will open the same Settings menu discussed in the section above.

You can follow the same steps to manage your email messages on LinkedIn. We recommend keeping only relevant emails active and turning off unnecessary company alerts. You can also block LinkedIn emails on Gmail.
