How do I untag myself from a LinkedIn comment?
LinkedIn itself tells us that to remove a mention or tag of yourself, you need to:
- Click the More icon in the top right corner of a connection’s post.
- Click Remove mention from the list of options that appears.
- Click Remove.
- The post will no longer link to your profile although your name will remain in the comment (because it’s not your comment to edit).
