Curious just how much time you’re spending on LinkedIn?
Well, now you can find out how many days out of the 365-day calendar year you’re logging in — among other stats — from LinkedIn’s “Year in Review” feature.
Microsoft-owned LinkedIn is one of many platforms following in Spotify’s footsteps with a personalized end-of-year recap of users’ data. This year, several companies joined in on the Spotify Wrapped fun, including YouTube and Uber Eats (shortly following an SNL spoof).
Just a couple of weeks ago, I wrote a wish list of what other apps I wanted “wrapped.” LinkedIn was one of them.
Thank you for fulfilling my data-hungry dreams, Microsoft!
(TikTok, Instagram, and dating apps, there’s still time to deliver us with more wrapped experiences.)
“Year in Review gives members a new way to reflect on how they learned, connected, and grew in 2025,” LinkedIn editor in chief Dan Roth said in a statement. “It’s a fun way to look back on the year and celebrate milestones like new jobs, skills, and moments of professional growth.”
How to find your LinkedIn ‘Year in Review’
Open LinkedIn, and at the top of the homepage on the LinkedIn mobile app, you should see a pop-up inviting you to view your “Year in Review.”
If not, head over to your notifications tab, where there should be another reminder to “look back at your 2025 on LinkedIn.” Or search directly for the feature in the app’s search bar.
The feature summarizes data points in several slides, including the year you joined LinkedIn, how frequently you use the platform, any job changes, and your LinkedIn engagement and performance metrics throughout the year.
I do think the team missed a golden naming opportunity, however, to name the recap feature your “LinkedIn Annual Performance Review.”
I’d also like to know who my top profile viewers were. C’mon, we know you can do it.
What I learned from my own LinkedIn wrapped
I spent 281 days on LinkedIn, according to my own LinkedIn recap.
That’s about 77% of the calendar year. And that definitely includes several weekends.
The feature also takes you down a memory lane of LinkedIn connections, reminding you of when you joined the professional networking platform and who your first connection was. (I joined in 2017, and my first connection was a peer from college.)
Meanwhile, my connections are scoring hot jobs in AI. LinkedIn told me that 588 of my connections “were on the move” and landed at companies like OpenAI, Stealth Startup, and Stealth AI Startup. As a reporter covering tech, that’s … not surprising given the heated talent wars happening in AI and the cacophony of new AI startups launching.
If you wanted an ego boost (or buzzkill), LinkedIn also recaps some of your engagement metrics, such as new followers, comments, reactions, and profile views (if you pay for LinkedIn Premium).
Premium users also get to see their top searches and most-used premium features.
The cheekier features include a title summarizing what “you embodied” on LinkedIn. For me — and at least three other Business Insider peers of mine — it was a “catalyst.” This, according to LinkedIn, means that “you put your ideas out there and got people talking, sparking fresh perspectives.”
