Can google crawl backlinks from a hidden profile?
Suppose a profile is only visible to the logged in users. Can google still crawl and index that backlink?
Please HELP and forgive for the bad English

You can check at mobile test if Googlebot is allowed. But probably not, so link is not visible for Google

NO, google can't index those profiles as it can't access them.

Open the profile link in incognito mode. If you can see it, so does Google. If you see an error like "this profile is only accessible to registered users", it can't be crawled.
