Choose your Messaging inbox layout

Last updated: 4 months ago

You can view banner ads above your Messaging inbox or you can choose to opt in to see native ads in your Messaging inbox. 

Banner ads are visible above the LinkedIn Messaging inbox for members in the European Union (EU) who have not consented to receive ads in the Messaging inbox. See the LinkedIn Sponsored Messaging in the European Union article for more information.

To customize how ads appear in your Messaging inbox:  

  1. Click the  Me icon at the top of your LinkedIn homepage. 

  2. Select Settings & Privacy from the dropdown. 

  3. Click Data Privacy in the left menu.

  4. Under Messaging experience, select Inbox layout with ads and choose either option. 

Important to know 

  • Only members in the European Union (EU) who do not consent to receive Sponsored Messaging ads in the Messaging inbox will see banner ads. 

  • We’re gradually releasing banner ads to members, and you might not see these ads above your inbox at this time.
