Does LinkedIn tell people when you search them?

Yes, people can see if you view their LinkedIn profile, as it's a core feature, but you can control the information shared by adjusting your "Profile viewing options" in Settings & Privacy, choosing between revealing your name/headline, industry/role, or going fully anonymous (Private Mode). Going private hides your identity but also disables your ability to see who viewed your profile unless you have Premium.

Can you tell if someone has looked you up on LinkedIn?

Yes, LinkedIn shows who viewed your profile, but the details you see depend on your account type (free vs. Premium) and the viewer's privacy settings, with Premium offering more comprehensive data like full names and company insights, while free accounts show fewer viewers and less detail, and visitors using private mode appear anonymous. 

Can you see who stalks your LinkedIn?

Can I view someone on LinkedIn without them knowing?

How do I stop LinkedIn from telling someone I viewed their profile?

Can someone see that I viewed their LinkedIn if I'm not a member?

Viewing while logged out from a search bypasses most tracking, showing only generic details or no data if the profile isn't public.

Is there a way to see who stalks my Instagram?

No, Instagram does not have a direct feature to show who views your profile or posts (except stories), as it prioritizes privacy, but you can spot potential stalkers by watching your story viewers (especially new or unfamiliar accounts) and checking follower lists for suspicious accounts (no posts, few followers). Third-party apps claim to offer this, but they are often unreliable and can be risky; your best bet is using Instagram's built-in story insights and keeping your account private to limit unknown viewers. 

How do I tell if I am blocked on LinkedIn?
