How to see which apps have access to your LinkedIn info

If you’re active on LinkedIn you know that the people you’re connected with on there can see some or all of your personal info, depending on your privacy settings.

But did you know there’s a good chance that one or more third-party apps might be accessing your info as well?

Luckily, it’s easy to find out if any apps are currently accessing your info and optionally revoke their access if you choose to do so. Just follow the steps below for the device you’re using.

If you use LinkedIn in a web browser on a laptop or desktop computer:

You can see how this is done visually by watching my YouTube video.

If you prefer following written instructions, here you go…

1 – Log into your LinkedIn account.

2 – Click Me on the top menu bar, then select Settings & Privacy from the drop-down menu.

3 – In the left-hand pane, click Data privacy.

4 – In the right-hand pane, scroll down to the “Other applications” section and click Permitted services.

You should now see a notice telling you if any third-party apps currently have access to your account.

5 – If one or more apps has access to your account, click Change to see a list of those apps and then click Remove for every app that you want to revoke access for.

If you use the LinkedIn app on a mobile device:

1 – Open the app and log into your account.

2 – Tap your tiny profile photo in the top corner of the screen.

3 – Tap Settings.

4 – Tap Data privacy.

5 – Scroll down to the “Other applications” section and tap Permitted services.

You should now see a notice telling you if any third-party apps currently have access to your account.

6 – If one or more apps has been granted access, tap Change to see a list of those apps and then tap Remove for every app that you want to revoke access for.
