Xing: Hide contacts - how it works

Hiding your contacts is quick and easy with Xing. The network offers you several options so that you can fine-tune the visibility of your contacts.

At Xing hide the contacts - so it works

Xing is designed so that the members can establish new, useful and, above all, professionally relevant contacts. The more networking you do, the greater the chances that this will have a positive effect for you. Nevertheless, you have the option to reduce your activities, for example by making your contacts no longer visible

• In order to hide your contacts at Xing, after logging into your account, click on the cog that you will find in the upper area. Then select the "Settings".
• In the menu bar on the left side you choose "privacy". Now you can hide your contacts.
• However, if you do not want your entire network to be aware of this, first deactivate the notifications. To do this, go to "Activities" and switch off the visibility for everyone.
• After that is done, go to the "contact list" and make the decision whether you want to hide your contacts for all or only for certain groups.
• Finally, you should go back to the "Activities" area and restore your visibility.

If you want to hide your date of birth at Xing, you also have the option. We'll tell you how to do it.
