LinkedIn Year in Review is LinkedIn's official recap of your year on the platform. It only opens in the mobile app, and the first edition reached members in mid-December 2025.
Many people just call it LinkedIn Wrapped.
MagicPost's LinkedIn Wrapped doesn't wait for December: it builds a free recap of your top posts and impressions in your browser right now.
What Is LinkedIn Year in Review?
LinkedIn Year in Review (nicknamed LinkedIn Wrapped, LinkedIn Recap or LinkedIn Rewind) is LinkedIn's annual recap, the business cousin of Spotify Wrapped. The 2025 edition, a highlight reel you could share to social media, covered:
Days you visited LinkedIn and your most active time
New connections and followers gained
How many of your connections changed jobs
Posts shared, comments left and reactions given
Profile impressions
Skills and certifications added
Your join date and your very first connection
A usage persona
The throwback cards drew the most comments: the date you joined LinkedIn and who your very first connection was. Adorable, but also a little terrifying.
LinkedIn hasn't announced a 2026 edition yet. If it keeps last year's timing, expect it in mid-December.
How to See Your LinkedIn Year in Review in the App
Once the feature reaches your account, LinkedIn's Year in Review is a few taps away on your phone:
Open the LinkedIn mobile app.
Tap Home at the bottom of the screen.
Tap the Year in Review banner at the top.
No banner? Search "Year in Review" in the search bar.
When your recap is ready, LinkedIn can also show a notification in your feed that takes you straight to it.
Your inbox is another way in: LinkedIn sends eligible members a Year in Review email summing up their activity for the year.
On desktop, the email shows a QR code: scan it with your phone to open the recap in the LinkedIn app, even if the Home banner never appeared.
MagicPost's LinkedIn Wrapped 2026 runs in a desktop browser, no app needed, and it's open today.
Why You Can't Find Your LinkedIn Year in Review
A missing Year in Review is rarely a bug. It usually comes down to one of three things.
1. LinkedIn's Year in Review Is App-Only
A lot of people miss their recap because they look for it on a laptop. It only opens in the LinkedIn mobile app, so a browser or a web link won't get you there.
2. Not Enough Activity Data This Year
LinkedIn hasn't published a minimum activity level. The 2025 recap counted days on LinkedIn, new connections and comments, so an account that barely logged in all year is the most likely to go without one.
3. Gradual Rollout and Limited Languages
Like many LinkedIn features, the Year in Review reaches members in waves. In 2025, it was also available in English, Spanish and Portuguese only.
Check again over the next few days, and make sure:
You're on the latest version of the LinkedIn app.
You're logged into the right account.

Not Everyone Welcomed LinkedIn's Year in Review
LinkedIn editor-in-chief Dan Roth told CNN the feature was meant to reflect the full picture of how people showed up professionally that year, from learning skills to building networks and sharing ideas.
LinkedIn's first recap spread fast in December 2025, and so did the jokes about it.
Most of the mockery went after what the recap chose to count: days logged in and new connections, never the applications that went nowhere.
The timing made it sharper: the recap landed in a tough hiring year, and CNN's coverage led with job seekers' frustration.
For creators it was a fun scorecard. For job seekers and casual users, the same numbers could feel awkward, even stressful, and more revealing than they wanted to share.
What LinkedIn's Year in Review Doesn't Show: Top Posts and Impressions
LinkedIn's Year in Review measures activity: how often you showed up. The 2025 edition counted your posts but showed no post-level impressions or ranking. If you post regularly, these are the year-end numbers you're after:
Your top 3 posts, ranked by impressions
Your impressions and new followers, month by month
Your best posting days and formats
MagicPost's LinkedIn Wrapped covers all three for free. Nearly 5,000 people generated theirs in 2025.
Other tools make a LinkedIn Wrapped too, and most of them can't see your impressions: our comparison of the best LinkedIn Wrapped tools shows what each one covers.
To put your numbers in context, compare them with MagicPost's monthly LinkedIn Benchmark: in August 2026, a typical LinkedIn post got 575 impressions (median of 22,064 public posts).
For the rest of the year, MagicPost's LinkedIn analytics track the same numbers post by post.
