Remove Your LinkedIn Reactions

A reaction remains attached to your name until you remove it. Redact can remove reactions from LinkedIn posts in bulk. You can remove every reaction Redact can find or only the reactions that match your filters.

Reasons to remove old reactions

Remove reactions that no longer reflect your views

Anyone who can view a post can also view who reacted to it. Removing old reactions can make your visible activity reflect your current views.

Remove reactions to old posts

You may no longer want your name attached to posts from former employers, colleagues, or companies.

Reduce your visible activity

Reactions show which posts and accounts interested you at a particular time.

Remove many reactions together

LinkedIn requires you to find and remove reactions one at a time. Redact can remove many reactions in one run.

What this feature does

Remove reactions from LinkedIn posts

Select Reactions to find and remove reactions from LinkedIn posts. Leave the filters empty to include every reaction Redact can find. You can also filter reactions by the post's text or date. LinkedIn does not provide a list of reactions you left on comments, so Redact cannot remove them.

Instructions

How to remove your LinkedIn reactions

  1. 1

    Download Redact for free

    Install Redact on your device. It runs on Windows, macOS, and Linux, plus iOS and Android.

    Download for your device →
  2. 2

    Connect your LinkedIn account

    Open Redact, choose LinkedIn, and sign in. Redact connects to LinkedIn from your device, so Redact's servers do not receive your login details.

  3. 3

    Select Reactions

    Select Reactions in the Things to delete list, and clear the other types.

    Redact is free to download, but you need the Ultimate plan to use it with LinkedIn. The plan also includes Slack, GitHub, Email, Stack Exchange, Medium, and Yelp.

  4. 4

    Add filters if you need them

    Add a text filter to find reactions on posts about a particular subject, or set a date range.

    LinkedIn reports the age of a post or reaction, such as "1 year ago," instead of its exact date. Redact estimates the date, so posts and reactions near the start or end of your range may be included or excluded. Allow extra time on both sides of an important cutoff.

    A reaction is dated by the post you reacted to, not by when you reacted. React today to a post from 2019 and the date range reads that reaction as 2019, so a range ending before today still matches it.

  5. 5

    Preview, then remove

    Run a Preview and check the results. Then switch to Deletion.

Nothing leaves your device

Redact connects to LinkedIn from your device to read and remove reactions. Redact's servers do not receive your reaction history.
