LinkedIn Clarifies Inactive Accounts Policy: Here’s What You Need to Know
A guide to understanding and navigating this new change
LinkedIn recently updated its policy on inactive accounts.
In the past, LinkedIn would remove inactive accounts from the platform.
However, LinkedIn has now clarified that it will no longer be removing inactive accounts.
Instead, LinkedIn will be filtering out inactive accounts from follower and connection counts.
What are inactive accounts?
LinkedIn defines an inactive account as one that has not been logged into for an extended time.
Inactive accounts can also include restricted accounts, which are accounts that have been removed for violating LinkedIn’s policies, and hibernated accounts, which are accounts that members have chosen to deactivate.
Why is LinkedIn filtering out inactive accounts from follower and connection counts?
LinkedIn is filtering out inactive accounts from followers and connection counts to provide members with more accurate data about their reach and engagement.
