Clean Up Your LinkedIn Feed: Mass Unfollow LinkedIn Connections!

Step-by-Step Guide: How to Mass Unfollow on LinkedIn

LinkedIn can be a game-changer for networking, but when your feed is flooded with irrelevant posts and updates, it’s more distracting than productive. If you’re tired of wading through endless content to find what matters and want to know how to mass unfollow on LinkedIn, this guide is for you.

Below, you’ll find a quick and effective way to unfollow everyone on LinkedIn in one go, without clicking through hundreds of profiles manually. We’ll use a simple script to clean up your feed so you can refocus on what counts. In just a few minutes, you’ll have a fresh start—ready to customize your LinkedIn experience however you want.

1. Log into LinkedIn

Simple enough so far, but this step is necessary.

2. Go to Your Connections Page

Once you’re logged in, head straight to your connections list by clicking this link. This page shows every person you’re connected with, from former colleagues and business connections to decision-makers you might not even remember adding.

3. Load Your Entire List of Connections

Here’s where the magic starts. Scroll to the bottom to load all your connections. Remember, the code we’ll use next will only work on the visible list, so be sure to get everyone on there. If you’re on the larger side of LinkedIn connections (over 2,500 people), give us a shout out for an extra line of code to help out.

4. Open Your Browser’s Developer Console

Now, here’s where we get a bit “techy”—but don’t worry, we’ve provided a step-by-step guide:

• Right-click on any part of the page and select Inspect (or press Ctrl+Shift+I).
• Head to the Console tab. This is where you’ll paste a bit of code to help with the unfollow spree.

5. Copy, Paste, and Run This Custom Code

To start the mass unfollow, copy and paste the following code into the console. This script finds and clicks the “Unfollow” button for each connection:

const buttons = […document.querySelectorAll(‘button.artdeco-button.artdeco-button–muted.artdeco-button–2.artdeco-button–secondary.ember-view’)];

for (let i = 0; i < buttons.length; i++) {
setTimeout(() => {
buttons[i].click();

// After clicking, wait 2 seconds and click the confirm button
setTimeout(function() {
document.getElementsByClassName(“artdeco-modal__confirm-dialog-btn”)[1].click();
}, 2000); // Wait for 2 seconds before clicking the confirm button

}, i * 5000); // Delay each click by 5 seconds
}

6. Sit Back and Watch Your Feed Transform!

This code takes a few seconds between each unfollow to keep things smooth. LinkedIn isn’t designed for mass unfollowing, so this gentle pace ensures there are no glitches.

Why Use a Script? Why Not Manually Unfollow?

Let us be real: manually unfollowing hundreds or even thousands of connections is not how anyone wants to spend their day. This code automates what would otherwise take hours, letting you reclaim your time. Plus, it’s flexible—use it once for a complete refresh, or just every few months for a regular feed detox and the best way to make use of the LinkedIn algorithm.

Pro Tips to Rebuild Your LinkedIn Feed (Without the Noise)

Once you’ve decluttered your feed, you’re ready for a fresh start! Now is the perfect time to build a LinkedIn network that aligns with your goals. Connect with industry leaders, thought influencers, and people who share your interests, and you’ll find more relevant updates and engaging conversations in your feed.

Whether you’re looking to deepen professional relationships, find new business opportunities, or stay updated with industry trends, a carefully curated network makes all the difference. Take this chance to be selective and intentional—your LinkedIn feed will thank you!

1. Be Selective When You Refollow: After hitting reset, consider adding back connections who provide the most value. Look for thought leaders, mentors, or anyone in your industry who sparks great discussions.
2. Follow Relevant Hashtags: LinkedIn lets you follow hashtags, so if there are topics you’re passionate about—think #B2BMarketing, #TechInnovation, or #LinkedInTips—follow those to stay in the loop without clutter.
3. Curate Content Sources: Want to know about industry updates or trends? Follow LinkedIn pages of leading companies, publications, and groups in your field.

With these tips and a fresh feed, LinkedIn can become the powerhouse it was meant to be. Whether you’re using it for professional development, job hunting, or industry insights, a tailored feed keeps you inspired and on track.
