# Does LinkedIn Private Mode Hide Your Profile Visit Completely?

If I switch LinkedIn’s profile viewing option to private mode and then look at someone’s profile, what do they actually see in their visitor list? Does my name disappear entirely, or can they still see that an anonymous LinkedIn member visited?

I’m also curious whether changing the setting after viewing a profile affects that visit, or only future ones. The wording in the settings is a little easy to misread.
