2024 UPDATE: I have added a new script, which should work. Kindly sponsor one of my free projects for the public, or at least cite this source when you share it with someone. The article will be updated often. Bookmark this page to keep track of the LinkedIn unfollow script.
Can I bulk unfollow people on LinkedIn?
Not officially. But I’ve just compiled a neat method to mass unfollow LinkedIn connections. It’s free; no signup is required.
Backstory
LinkedIn is great. But their reaction/feed algorithm is cluttered. I don’t expect LinkedIn to behave like Facebook. So, I decided to mass unfollow my LinkedIn connections and only follow the key people. Here’s the script I came up with.
How To Mass Unfollow LinkedIn Connections?
Follow the steps listed below to bulk unfollow LinkedIn connections.
- Visit www.linkedin.com/feed/following.
Open Chrome on your Mac or PC, and open link 1 & link 2 in a new tab.
- Open Developer Tools in Chrome.
Right Click -> Inspect. Switch to the console tab.
- Paste the script to the console and press enter.
Copy the script from here: unfollow.js
- Please Enter and wait for the script to do its job in both tabs.
If the script breaks in the middle, reload the page and repeat the process until the following count reaches zero and LinkedIn displays ‘Follow Fresh Perspectives’. Good luck.
