Key Takeaways

Cancel LinkedIn Premium via Settings & Privacy → Subscriptions & payments → Manage Premium → Cancel. You keep features until the period ends.

To cancel LinkedIn Premium, go to Settings & Privacy → Subscriptions & payments → Manage Premium account → Cancel subscription. You keep all Premium features until the end of your current billing period, then your account reverts to the free tier with no penalty and no loss of your connections, messages or profile data. Here's exactly how to do it on desktop and mobile, plus what happens after.

Cancel on desktop

  1. Click your profile photo (Me icon) in the top-right of LinkedIn.
  2. Select Settings & Privacy.
  3. Go to Subscriptions & payments in the left menu.
  4. Click Manage Premium account.
  5. Select Cancel subscription and follow the confirmation prompts.

Cancel on mobile (iOS / Android)

If you subscribed through the LinkedIn mobile app, you may need to cancel through the app store instead:

  • Apple (iOS): Settings → your name → Subscriptions → LinkedIn → Cancel Subscription.
  • Android (Google Play): Play Store → profile icon → Payments & subscriptions → Subscriptions → LinkedIn → Cancel.
  • If you subscribed on the web, cancel on the web using the desktop steps above — the app store won't list it.

What happens after you cancel

  • Premium features stay active until your paid period ends — you're not cut off immediately.
  • InMail credits remaining at cancellation are lost when the period expires (they don't roll over anyway).
  • Your profile, connections, messages and saved data are untouched — only Premium features (InMail, insights, Learning, badges) disappear.
  • No partial refunds — LinkedIn doesn't prorate; you simply finish the paid month/year.

Common issues

  • Can't find the cancel option? You likely subscribed via Apple or Google Play — cancel through the store, not LinkedIn.
  • Still being charged after cancelling? Check whether you have a second subscription (e.g., Sales Navigator separately) or cancelled a different account. Contact LinkedIn support with receipts.
  • Want to pause instead? LinkedIn doesn't offer a pause; cancelling and resubscribing later is the only option.

The bottom line

Cancelling LinkedIn Premium takes under two minutes via Settings & Privacy → Subscriptions & payments. You keep features until the period ends and lose nothing else. If you're cancelling only because of price, DigitalTools sells LinkedIn Premium at below-retail rates with instant activation — worth checking before you give up the features entirely.
