Hello friends! VKontakte albums are one of the opportunities to diversify content both in your personal account and in the communities of this social network.
A popular question on the Internet is how to create a VKontakte album? But the point is that you need to understand which VK albums the user has in mind. After all, catalogs can consist of photographs or videos. Various functions are used to create them. In addition, catalogs can be created not only in a personal account, but also in VKontakte groups. In this article, I propose to consider the creation of directories in VK in more detail.
How to hide the Saved Photos album from other people?

How to upload a photo to VK from your phone?
As with uploading photos via PC, there are several ways:
First way
If you use the official VKontakte application for smartphones, you need to go to the photos section,
select the desired album and click on the plus sign, which is located in the upper right corner, after which you will be offered two upload methods: the first is to take a photo from your phone’s camera, after which it will be uploaded to the album of your choice. And the second way is to send a photo from the gallery of your smartphone. Select "Load from gallery".
Now you can see all the photos and pictures that are on your device. Select the ones you need, mark them with the appropriate checkboxes and click “Attach”.
As a result, the selected photos will be automatically downloaded and after that they will already be in your album.
Second way
This method is suitable if you want to send the photos you need to a VK album, to documents, to a wall, or to someone in messages. To do this, open the “Photos” application on your smartphone and select the photos you need (to do this, select the first photo with a long touch of your finger, the rest with a regular touch) and tap the “VK” icon that appears at the top of the screen. After, choose where you want to upload your photos.
That's all the action required from you.
Third way
This method is for those who use VKontakte via a mobile browser.
Go to your page and go to the “Photos”, “my photos” section and select the album you need.
Next, click on “Add new photos”, a new tab opens, where you click on “Select file” and you will be provided with applications related to the VK social network. Click on “Album”, where you select the photos you need.
Important: in this way, you will be able to upload no more than three photos at a time.
After selecting the photos you want, click on “Upload Photos”. After a while (everything will depend on the speed of your Internet), the photos will be saved. If you see the message “Download Complete,” then everything went well.
