Wondering when you connected with someone on LinkedIn? Connection dates help you time follow-ups, personalize context, and prioritize active relationships. Whether you’re planning your outreach sequence, adding relevant details to your conversations, or cleaning up your LinkedIn network<\/a>, knowing when you connected keeps your business interactions timely and\u00a0relevant.<\/p>\n

How to find connection dates on LinkedIn manually<\/h2>\n

You’ll find the exact connection date in a profile’s Contact info. Here are two manual approaches.<\/p>\n

Method 1: Checking the connection’s contact info<\/h3>\n

The most direct way to see when you connected with someone is through their LinkedIn profile.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Navigate to the person’s profile.<\/li>\n
  2. Click on the “Contact info” icon below their headline.<\/li>\n
  3. View the Connected date (for example, “Connected on March 12, 2024”).\n

    \"The<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    This process is simple. It takes three clicks on a profile.<\/p>\n

    Checking dates one-by-one doesn’t scale. If you manage hundreds of connections<\/a>, it turns into hours of repetitive clicks across your full LinkedIn network.<\/p>\n

    Method 2: Viewing recent connections on your profile<\/h3>\n

    You can also view your recent connections, which can give you an idea of timings.<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Click on “My Network” in the top navigation menu of your LinkedIn account.<\/li>\n
    2. Select the “Connections” icon in the left sidebar.\n

      \"The<\/li>\n

    3. By default, LinkedIn shows recently added connections first.<\/li>\n
    4. Browse through your connections to see the approximate order they were added.\n

      \"The<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      One limitation: the list view doesn’t show exact dates. While you can see your connections in chronological order, you won’t see exact dates here. You’ll still need to visit individual profiles<\/a> and click contact info to see precise dates. This isn’t efficient when tracking a large network.<\/p>\n

      How to export contacts to view the connection date<\/h2>\n

      What if you need to check multiple connection dates at once? Export connections in bulk with PhantomBuster<\/a>‘s pre-built LinkedIn automations.<\/p>\n
