LinkedIn will soon tell you who can’t stop looking at your profile with a visible badge. Shutter Speed / Unsplash
Every single day, I get an email or two telling me who visited my LinkedIn profile. It has almost become a fun daily routine, and I often joke to myself that life might occasionally throw me a curveball, but LinkedIn’s “who viewed your profile” emails will always arrive on time.
Whether or not you like these emails, LinkedIn is now testing a new “frequent viewer” label that tells you if someone is repeatedly visiting your profile. Numerous LinkedIn users have reported seeing the new badge over the past few weeks. LinkedIn has also confirmed that the feature is being tested, but declined to share further details.

Interestingly, the new feature is also raising a few fun alarms, such as this post:
“This morning, I was telling my wife about LinkedIn’s new “Frequent Viewer” feature, which shows who’s been regularly checking out your profile.
Out of curiosity, I checked mine.
And guess what? Someone from Jaypee University of Information Technology has been keeping a close eye on my profile.
