LinkedIn is testing a new feature that shows users who repeatedly view their profiles. Some users have spotted a “frequent viewer” label appearing in their profile analytics.
The label identifies accounts that check a profile multiple times over a set period. It builds on LinkedIn’s existing “Who viewed your profile” tool, which already shows recent visitors.
The feature is currently limited to a small test group. LinkedIn has not announced a timeline for a wider rollout or confirmed which users will receive it.
Profile viewing already carries visibility settings. Members can browse in private mode, which hides their identity from the people they view.
That private mode may limit how much the new label reveals. Users who view profiles anonymously would likely not appear as frequent viewers.
The test raises fresh privacy questions for a platform built on professional networking. Repeated profile visits can signal hiring interest, sales outreach, or simple curiosity.
LinkedIn has not detailed how it defines a frequent viewer or how long the label persists. The company says it is gathering feedback before deciding on next steps.
For now, the feature remains an experiment. Users in the test group will see the label; everyone else will continue to see standard view counts.
