Protect your private conversations

Open the page: https://www.linkedin.com/psettings/message-preferences

• Go to the “Who can contact you” tab and uncheck the “Allow LinkedIn partners to show you Sponsored InMails?” tab as well as “Allow others to send you InMails?” if you do not want to be contacted via Linkedin messaging.
