Modern computerization of society, catalyzed by the global network that quickly swept the population, allows everyone to feel like a genius reading machine code on the fly. However, the reality of the situation usually differs from the internal worldview. Therefore, the banal question of how to find a person on VKontakte by ID puts the “disassembler person” at a dead end. This is surprising, especially considering the degree of triviality of this task.
How to view your VKontakte browsing history from a mobile device?
You cannot watch this story in the official mobile application, but this function is preserved on the m.vk.com website, which is adapted to work in mobile browsers. First you need to go to the “Settings” section, and then select “Security”.
The next page will immediately display information about the last login to your account. To view a complete list of all recent logins, you need to click on the “Show activity history” button.
In the next window, you can find out information about the last six logins, and the dates and times will also be indicated here, along with the approximate location and data about the devices and browsers from which the login was made. There is also information about the IP addresses of these devices. To log out of your account for all devices except the current one, you need to click on the corresponding red “End all sessions” button below.
How to find out which devices have access to your online accounts
The urgency of the problem is not due to hackers in order to hack your account and empty your wallets. We all live in a society whose representatives periodically find it very interesting to stick their nose into something that’s not their own business. A roommate, colleague or fellow traveler can use your device and simply read correspondence in social networks, mailbox, or glance at the contents of a cloud drive. Coming up with complex passwords and enabling two-factor authentication may not help here. Therefore, it is worth checking whether someone periodically “sucks” into confidential information without your knowledge.

Recently updated Google Account settings included a "Devices and Activities" section. The page displays all devices that have connected to the profile during the last four weeks.
Check if the mobile device you logged in from belongs to you? Do you remember if you logged into your account at night or during long trips? Please note, are you logged in from your usual browser? Analyze whether the access was made from the right IP addresses, that is, geographical locations?
If you notice anything suspicious, block access to your profile for gadgets on Android or iOS, or update your security settings if abnormal activity was carried out through your computer.
The billion-strong community of the most popular social network loves to chat, share photos and videos, but rarely cares about the security of personal information. In vain, because Facebook pays great attention to privacy, for which an impressive menu of security settings is reserved. Among them there is the option “Where you signed in from”. The proposed list includes both desktop browsers and mobile applications, separately including Messenger.
"In contact with"
The Runet is full of requests for hacking VK accounts, because this social network is the most widespread in our area. Therefore, it would be a good idea to at least occasionally look into the “Activity History” section, which is located on the “Security” tab of the service settings. By default, you will only be shown the latest activity, but below it there is a link to the full table of running sessions.
"Classmates"
Often, Runet users duplicate all the milestones of their eventful lives for their fellow deskmates. Odnoklassniki, along with other time wasters, are trying to improve the security level of their fans. Why are they just “trying”? Take a look at their “List of Connections in the Last 30 Days” and you will understand. Quite stingy, because it would be nice to supplement the IP and login time with the device type. We hope the situation improves in the near future.
Microsoft
The “Recent Activity” link in Microsoft account security settings looks less attractive than Google’s, but is richer in content. Why? You are asked to evaluate a more detailed list of actions. For example, you will learn that someone tried to guess the password for your profile.
A detailed description of the actions is presented in the corresponding service help.
The “It wasn’t me” button lets Microsoft know that an attacker may have accessed the account. Therefore, you will be prompted to strengthen your security measures by changing your password and updating your security information.
Dropbox
The popular solution for remote storage and synchronization of data between devices also has on board a tool for monitoring access to a cloud disk. Go to Dropbox settings and switch to the security tab. This will show you completed sessions and login devices. In addition, you will find out which applications have been connected to the profile. In a couple of mouse clicks, you can disable access to your account for third-party utilities and mobile devices.

Method 2. Using the My Guests app
The principle of this method is as follows: using the special “My Guests” application, you receive a special link-trap that you will need to place on your page, for example, on a wall with enticing text. If a guest who lands on your page clicks on such a link, the application will immediately record it, and you will be able to see who visited the VKontakte page.
The link will look like https://vkontakte.ru/app638461_******, where you need to insert your identifier (ID) instead of asterisks. Of course, in this situation you will not see all the guests, but most of them for sure.
Deleting a page
One of the easiest ways to view guests on VKontakte is to use the page deletion function. The fact is that when deleting, the VKontakte administration will ask you to indicate the reason why you are leaving the social network. If you select the option “No one comments on my page,” the text field will display the following message: “I am surrounded by a wall of inattention...”. Next, the names of two people will be written. The system selects them for a reason. This comment indicates the names of users who visit your page most often.
So, to find out who looked at my VKontakte page, you need to click on your name in the upper right corner. This will activate a drop-down list in which you must select the “Settings” item. A new page will open - you need to scroll down. There is a hypertext “Delete your page” there. Click on it. A new dialog will appear. Check the item mentioned above, and the most active guests will be displayed in the text field. There is no need to delete your page, just click on “About src=”https://sp-ao.shortpixel.ai/client/q_glossy,ret_img,w_560,h_421/https://droidov.com/wp-content/uploads /2017/08/delete-1.jpg" class="aligncenter" width="560″ height="421″[/img]
This method of seeing exactly who visited my VKontakte page is very simple in terms of implementation. However, it has significant drawbacks. Firstly, you won't see how often users visit your profile. Secondly, you will not receive a complete list of my guests on VKontakte.
Tracking visitors to other people's pages on VK
As you know, the standard functionality of the VKontakte social network does not provide a “Guests” section, where you could track all visitors to your page. Originally Pavel Durov
mentioned the absence of such a function in VK capabilities. This was later confirmed by VC officials. Claiming that showing guests forces users to avoid visiting other people's pages, not wanting to be noticed. This, in turn, leads to a decrease in social interactions and the level of communication, which is not included in the plans of the VKontakte owners.
However, there are logs
, recording page visitors. Such logs are private and are provided only to federal security agencies and the VKontakte Security Service itself. Access to them by ordinary users is prohibited.
Ordinary users have access to a number of tools that allow them to directly or indirectly identify visitors to their VK page. This information is vague in nature and can only be used as an auxiliary tool for displaying guests. Thus, it is possible to see that a specific person often visits your page in the VK application, but there are some peculiarities.
Below we will analyze the list of these tools and consider how to use them.
