If I remove a LinkedIn Connection will they remain a follower of mine? If I remove someone are they still a follower?

When you remove a connection on LinkedIn, you will also lose them as a follower.

This change was confirmed in a recent update, indicating that when you choose to disconnect from someone, you are automatically unfollowing them as well.

Therefore, if you remove a LinkedIn connection, they will no longer see your updates, and you will not see theirs.

Key Points:

1. Removing a Connection: This action results in both disconnecting and unfollowing the individual.
2. Loss of Mutual Updates: You will no longer have access to each other's posts or updates on your feeds.
3. Recent Changes: This functionality has changed as of September 30, 2024, where previously it was possible to remain followers after removing a connection.

If you want to maintain visibility with someone without being connected, you would need to unfollow them instead of removing the connection.
