How connections work

Common actions

1. Open a profile from Search, a meet, Activity, Messages, or a group.
2. Use the connection button when it is available.
3. Open your connections list from Profile or related surfaces.
4. Message accepted connections when messaging is available.

What to expect

Some users may limit what connection details are visible. Counts and lists can differ by viewer because privacy settings and blocking can affect what is shown.
