Mutuals connections on profiles

Knowing your shared connections can provide valuable context for relationship-building. You can seamlessly view mutual connections as you visit profiles, which helps you identify common ground and leverage your existing network more effectively. We have a dedicated section on Connections.

How It Works

  1. Make sure you download and install the Distill Chrome Extension

  2. View Mutual Connections Instantly

    • Once installed, the extension will automatically display mutual connections from LinkedIn whenever you visit a profile.

What Information Is Displayed?

For each mutual connection, the extension provides key details to help you understand the relevance of your shared contacts:

  • Total Number of Mutual Connections – Quickly see how many mutual contacts you share with the person you're looking up. 

  • Intro paths- This feature analyzes the total number of mutual connections you have and how best to connect and get an introduction. If you click on an intro path, you'll see: 

    • Location – See where your mutual connections are based, which can be helpful for local networking.

    • Mutuals’ Roles and Company – Gain insight into your shared connections’ job titles and professional background. 

    • More mutual connections  - You can see how many mutual connections you share with the other mutuals. 

    • Analyzing the Mutuals - You can read a paragraph describing their relationship and how they know each other. We'll let you know if they went to the same school or if they've worked together directly.
