LinkedIn Year in Review 2025: Your Numbers Are Embarrassingly Public Now (Here's How to Fix That)

LinkedIn just dropped their LinkedIn year in review feature. 

Some folks are posting their numbers like they won the lottery. Others are quietly panicking because LinkedIn exposed they posted three times all year and got 47 profile views (ouch).

Your 2025 recap is sitting there right now, waiting to either validate your strategy or make you question your life choices.

I added 9,705 new followers this year. 

Here's how to find your data and make 2026 the year you actually show up.

But first…

What is LinkedIn Year in Review? 

It's Spotify Wrapped for your career: profile views, connections, post engagement, and a "personality type" LinkedIn assigned based on whether you're a lurker or a poster.

Now, with that out of the way…

How to Get Your LinkedIn Year in Review

Open the LinkedIn mobile app, tap "Home," and look for the "Year In Review" banner at the top.

Or go directly to https://www.linkedin.com/your-year-in-review/ on mobile.

If you don't see it yet, you're either:

• Using desktop (mobile only)
• In a later rollout wave (check back in a few days)
• Not active enough for LinkedIn to generate a recap

That third one? Keep reading.

Your Numbers Are Trying to Tell You Something

Your recap breaks down into four metrics. Think of them as your LinkedIn report card, except this time you actually care about the grade.

1. Profile Views (A.K.A. "How Many People Stalked You This Year")

High profile views = you're showing up. Low profile views = you're invisible.

OmniCreator member Vendela Dublin hit 8,105 profile views this year.

When I posted my 9,705 new followers, she commented:

"Agreed! This was mine using OmniCreator."

How OmniCreator helps you do the same: 

Our scheduling keeps you consistently visible. More posts = more eyeballs = more profile clicks. Plus, our media library and formatting tools help you create content that doesn't look phoned in.

Consistency is everything. 

The algorithm doesn't care if your quarterly post was brilliant… it cares that you showed up this week.

2. New Connections (Or "Did You Network This Year?")

When I shared my year in review, the OmniCreator community showed up in comments with their own wins. 

How OmniCreator helps you do the same: 

We're a community of people serious about LinkedIn. Peer accountability, content feedback, and collaboration with other creators who care. Think workout buddy system, but for LinkedIn instead of that 6am HIIT class you keep skipping.

3. Post Engagement (The "What Worked?" Answer Key)

Did your how-to posts crush it? Did personal stories flop? Did that Friday meme outperform your thought leadership? 

The data tells you exactly what works. Stop guessing.

How OmniCreator helps you do the same: 

Found a winning format? Our editor makes it stupid-easy to clone that structure, change the topic, and schedule it out. Our top users treat Year in Review like a playbook: figure out what worked, create more of it.

4. Activity Consistency (Or "How Often Did You Actually Show Up?")

Sporadic posting = algorithm ignores you. Regular posting = algorithm shows your content. Simple math.

Most people fail here. Not because they can't write. Because life happens, they forget, and suddenly it's been three months since their last post.

How OmniCreator helps you do the same: 

Batch-create Sunday. Schedule throughout the week. Show up consistently even when drowning in work or binge-watching Netflix.

The Real Difference Between "Someday" and "Already Crushing It"

When I posted my LinkedIn year in review, med tech pro Kamal Lutfi Meet said: "That is awesome! I'd love to try it out."

Wise move. 

Most people see success and think "someday."

But people like Vendela is already using OmniCreator. She didn't wait until year-end to decide she wanted better numbers. 

That's the difference.

Your 2026 Action Plan (Or "Stop Reading and Do Something")

Your 2025 recap is data. The question is: what are you doing with it?

LinkedIn success doesn't require talent, clever insights, or groundbreaking ideas. It requires consistency, strategic content, community support, and tools that don't make you rage-quit.

That's why we built OmniCreator. 

(Okay, for real, this will be the last shameless plug…)

Content editor, scheduling, media library, and a community of real LinkedIn pros who support each other.
