    LinkedIn had many apprehensions before introducing the Block feature. The company was requested numerous times to add this feature and finally, LinkedIn considered the request and adopted a feature to block or report unwanted users. And if a user applies this with another user, the latter one will not be able to access profile of the former one. In short, both will not remain connected as the connection has been broken. For instance, they cannot send messages to each other. According to the team of LinkedIn, there were so many requests to start blocking feature on LinkedIn and after a lot of discussions, the company concluded to introduce the feature. Although it was not a consideration due to the members request rather was the right thing to do.

    Please note that the block feature will not eliminate you completely from the network, which means that the person can still view their public profile or any content others are sharing. Also, getting blocked doesn’t take away the right to edit information on your Public Profile by changing in settings.

    1. One of the options would be ‘Report/Block’, select the option and it will ask you whether you want to block that particular user and also will tell you its consequence before you tap on ‘Block’. The warning would read: “You will no longer be connected (if you were before), or have endorsements and recommendations from this person. You will also no longer see any suggestions to interact with each other.”
    1. When you select ‘Block’ option, after reading the warning then it confirms your decision. As a result, the person will no longer be able to view your LinkedIn account/ profile.
