Leave a Group on Linkedin

To leave a LinkedIn group, hold the mouse cursor over the “Member” button on the group page, then click “Leave.” You’ll need to do this on the website, as it’s not currently possible in the mobile app. Mobile users can, however, leave (or mute notifications from) group conversations. Learn where to find the “Leave” option on the group page, how to remove yourself from an ongoing group conversation, and how to mute distracting notifications from conversations you’re not ready to leave.
