Hi Janit,
Q: Does anyone know why LinkedIn wants people to create an account if someone is just wanting to read someone’s profile? A: I believe it’s to get more users on LinkedIn 😊 Q: If I was to create an account just to read someone’s work profile, would my email address or my name be shown? A: LinkedIn Premium users can see the name of the person who viewed their profile, but LinkedIn doesn’t share your email with others by default.

Hopefully, you’ll get a response from the LinkedIn accessibility team.

I mainly just read updates and occasionally repost something. As I flick through the posts, I’ll often hear something like “John Smith’s job update, 2 reactions, 1 comment, on this post, react, comment on this post, suggested comments.” I’m trying to see how I see what the job update actually is. If I double tap, I’m taken to a company profile page. Flicking up instead offers a more options submenu, but nothing there actually shows me anything useful. Even going to the person’s profile doesn’t actually show what the update was; in fact, the 2 I looked at this morning don’t even look like they changed jobs, so I’m wondering if they maybe just made an edit that LinkedIn is then posting as an update. Anyone have knowledge? My next step is to write to LinkedIn accessibility. -- The following information is important for all members of the V iPhone list.
