How to Cancel LinkedIn Premium in 4 Easy Steps (with Photos)

LinkedIn is one of the foremost professional social media platforms in the world. Users interact with businesses, connect with peers, and apply for jobs, all through the intuitive platform.

LinkedIn offers a Premium feature that opens up special tools and analytics that are usually hidden behind a paywall. Often, people will use a free trial or simply pay for the Premium features while searching for a job. Whatever the reason, it can get quite costly once the trial ends, prompting many users to cancel.

Here are the 4 simple steps you can take to cancel your LinkedIn Premium. Let’s get started!
