Would you like to have a recap of your professional networking activity on LinkedIn? Just like Spotify Wrapped and YouTube Music Recap? There’s good news, as LinkedIn has officially begun rolling out its own ‘Year in Review’ for 2025. Similar to the Spotify Wrapped, the feature offers the platform’s 1 billion+ members a data-driven, story-like retrospective of their professional milestones, networking growth, and content performance over the past year.
Think of the LinkedIn Year in Review as more of a ‘highlight reel’ of their career, giving users a recap of how their professional network panned out and how they could step into the new year with clever insights.
LinkedIn Year in Review: What’s inside the Recap
The 2025 recap is designed to be highly visual and shareable, presented in a pointer format that distills complex engagement data into easy-to-digest slides. Key metrics featured in the review include:
Networking growth: A tally of total profile views, post impressions, and the number of new connections added to a user’s network in 2025.
Content performance: A showcase of the user’s most engaging posts, identifying which topics, articles, or videos resonated most with their professional circle.
Audience insights: Granular data revealing the specific industries and top companies where the people who viewed your profile most frequently are employed.
Professional milestones: A summary of career shifts, including new job titles, certifications earned, and skills added to the profile during the year.
The launch of the Year in Review comes at a time of heightened competition in the social space, as platforms like Amazon’s Alexa, Google, and Instagram also release their respective end-of-year insights. For professionals, however, LinkedIn’s version serves a dual purpose – it’s more than just a social gimmick – a tool for quantifying professional ‘brand value’ in an increasingly competitive job market.
How to make your LinkedIn 2025 recap
LinkedIn is rolling out the feature globally in phases. Users can find their personalised summary through three main channels:
1. Homepage Banner: A dedicated ‘Year in Review’ banner will appear at the top of the LinkedIn feed on both desktop and mobile apps.
2. Notifications: LinkedIn is sending push notifications and in-app alerts to users as soon as their specific data summary is ready for viewing.
3. Search and hashtags: Users can also search for #YearInReview in the LinkedIn search bar to find the official landing page and see how others in their industry are celebrating their wins.
