- What is the difference between Connections and Contacts in Linked In?
Looking at my Linked In Page, I wonder what is the difference between Connections and Contacts. So, I dod some research ... On LinkedIn, "connections" and "contacts" have slightly different meanings.
"Connections" on LinkedIn refers to people with whom you have established a professional connection. These are people with whom you have agreed to connect on the platform, and you can see each other's profiles, updates, and posts on the platform. You can also send messages, endorse skills, and write recommendations for your connections on LinkedIn.
"Contacts," on the other hand, refers to the people in your address book that LinkedIn has access to. When you give LinkedIn permission to access your contacts, the platform will match the names and email addresses in your contacts with the names and email addresses of people on LinkedIn. This allows you to easily find and connect with people you know in real life who are also on LinkedIn.
In summary, connections on LinkedIn are people with whom you have established a professional connection on the platform, while contacts are people in your address book that LinkedIn has access to.
