How to Hide Promoted Posts on LinkedIn

LinkedIn offers no native setting to hide promoted or sponsored posts from the feed; the only official option is marking an individual ad not relevant, which does not reduce future promoted posts, so removing them requires a browser extension or content filter, and those solutions work only on desktop browsers, not inside LinkedIn's native mobile app.

There is no setting inside LinkedIn, on any device, that hides promoted posts. The closest official option is reporting an individual ad as irrelevant, one at a time, which doesn't reduce how many appear. This is what actually removes them, and why it has to happen at the browser level.

What LinkedIn actually gives you

One option: tap the three dots on a promoted post and mark it not relevant. It removes that one post from view. It does nothing to the promoted posts that load after it, which keep appearing at the same rate regardless of how many you've dismissed.

There's no settings page, no feed preference, nothing that treats "promoted" as a category you can turn off. LinkedIn's ad business runs through that feed placement directly, so there's no official interest in offering an off switch.

Suggested posts are the same problem, quietly

Promoted content isn't the only thing riding LinkedIn's ranking. "Suggested" posts, content from accounts you don't follow, get inserted using the same non-chronological logic. A fix aimed only at ads still leaves this behind, so the feed keeps its recommendation-driven shape even with sponsored content gone.

What's left: acting on the web version

The ad-free workarounds that exist for LinkedIn, mostly browser extensions using filter rules, all run on desktop browsers, because that's where extension support exists. None of them reach the native mobile app, which is where most LinkedIn scrolling actually happens.

A Safari extension closes that gap specifically, because it runs on LinkedIn's mobile web version, not just desktop. On the web version:

  • Promoted posts are removed from the feed, not just the single post you dismissed.
  • Suggested posts are removed at the same time, so what's left is people and pages you actually follow.

Making mobile web the default

The same handoff applies here as everywhere else: a guided iOS Shortcut redirects the LinkedIn app icon to the fixed web version, so the ad-free, suggestion-free feed is what loads without you doing anything differently.

That's DoomOff's one LinkedIn toggle: promoted and suggested posts both gone, live preview included before you turn it on.

Frequently asked questions

Can I turn off promoted posts on LinkedIn?
Not with a setting. LinkedIn's only official option is marking a specific ad as 'not relevant,' which doesn't reduce how many promoted posts you see going forward. There's no toggle that removes sponsored content from the feed.
Do browser extensions that hide LinkedIn ads work on mobile?
No. Extensions and filter-based approaches run inside a desktop browser. LinkedIn's native iOS and Android apps don't support third-party extensions, so promoted posts stay visible there regardless of what's installed on desktop.
What else shows up mixed in with promoted posts?
LinkedIn's feed also inserts 'Suggested' posts, content from people or pages you don't follow, using the same non-chronological ranking that surfaces promoted content. Filtering just the ads still leaves the suggested posts in place unless both are targeted.
