Need to withdraw pending LinkedIn invitations while on your phone? Here is the complete walkthrough for canceling sent requests in the LinkedIn mobile app on iPhone and Android, plus why bulk cleanup requires desktop.
Last updated 14 October 2026
Open the LinkedIn app on your iOS device and tap My Network at the bottom of the screen.
Tap on Invitations near the top of the screen to expand your invitation manager.
Tap the Sent tab at the top right. You will see a chronological list of pending invitations you have sent.
Tap the Withdraw button next to the person you wish to un-invite. The app will immediately cancel the invitation without asking for a second confirmation.
Open the LinkedIn app on your Android smartphone or tablet.
Tap the My Network icon in the bottom navigation bar.
Tap Invitations at the top of the screen, then switch from the default "Received" view to the Sent tab.
Scroll down to locate the request you want to cancel and tap Withdraw.
Neither the iOS app, the Android app, nor the mobile web browser version of LinkedIn offers a "Select All" or "Withdraw All" option.
If you have 300 or 500 pending invitations, tapping "Withdraw" hundreds of times on a touchscreen leads to thumb fatigue and accidental profile taps.
Furthermore, mobile browsers do not support desktop Chrome extensions, making automated bulk withdrawal exclusively a desktop workflow.
If you only need to cancel two or three accidental invitations, the mobile app is quick and convenient.
For cleaning up a backlog of dozens or hundreds of invitations, open LinkedIn on your desktop computer with the Unpend Chrome extension installed. You can set an age filter and let the tool safely withdraw them in the background.
No. LinkedIn does not send an email, push notification, or alert when an invitation is withdrawn on mobile or desktop.
Not immediately for the current rolling 7-day period, but it removes stale requests from your overall account ratio and prevents long-term weekly restriction caps.
No. The mobile version of Google Chrome for Android and iOS does not support browser extensions. Bulk cleanup extensions require a desktop browser.
Unpend is a free Chrome extension that withdraws every pending invitation in a single run, and shows you the network LinkedIn will not. 150 free actions a month, nothing leaves your browser.
