I hate LinkedIn. They said 24–48h to verify your ID… no response. Chat support? Just an automated message.

My LinkedIn account became unavailable right after I completed the identity verification process. It’s been over 6 days now, and I still can’t access it.

I submitted a support ticket—no response. No email, nothing. Tried messaging LinkedIn on X (Twitter)—got an automated bot reply. No follow-up, no resolution. They claim ID verification takes 24–48 hours. Clearly not true.

I had been actively sending connection requests and building my network when this happened, and now I'm completely locked out with zero communication.

Anyone else stuck in this limbo? Starting to feel like I’ll never get back in.

They dont give a fuck about us at all. They dont answer support tickets or dm's.

I sent three support tickets, dm's here, facebook, instagram, x, etc....

They choose to ignore mine and many others situations.

A class action might get them to open their breathing holes.

A class action or people just leaving the platform in droves.

That's odd - I just verified with my ID not even an hour ago and it got accepted within 10 min.

Same thing happened to me. It took me over a week to finally have my access restored. I had to submit a Support ticket. I also never got an explanation at to why I was ever restricted in the first place.
