What information can be extracted from likes, and how to use it?

Any sane person has no desire to distribute personal information about himself, his correspondence... Agree, maintaining privacy in many cases is necessary, but in the age of development of information technology this is not easy to do. So what is this article about? Now I'll tell you everything.

I think if you came here, then most likely you have a VK account and are interested in the answer to the question of how to prevent friends from seeing comments on VK. The same comments that you leave in VKontakte communities. Anything can happen, for example, a dispute broke out with a young student who insults your idol. And you don’t have a burning desire for your friends or maybe your parents to see you fighting with unknown people on the Internet.

In today's post I will explain what to change in the VK settings so that friends do not see the comments you leave under community posts.

What can you learn from VK likes?

Hearts next to posts on VKontakte can tell a lot more than it seems at first glance:

• Who liked the post and who, accordingly, visited the page.
• How many people rated the post, which means what the audience coverage was.
• At what time is activity greatest and when is it least.

If you decide to look at each liker, you can see which of them are bots and non-existent pages. The dog's avatar will tell you this.

Speaking of groups and communities, the number of likes and shares is a key indicator of popularity. The more you are read, watched and “approved”, the more advertisers will want to come to you and order promotion. This is an opportunity to easily earn real money, plus you can bring your public to the top.

See what likes on VK give and how to use it in the material at the link.

For personal pages, likes are an indicator of how many real friends are on VK and looking at photos (just kidding!).

If you need "good" likes

If you need high-quality likes, most of which will not turn into blocked users, which you will subsequently have to get rid of, I can recommend you the service soclike.ru

. The service costs from 120 rubles.

Don’t forget that likes help promote the group, help increase subscribers, and at the same time earn money from the community as a whole.

With this I say goodbye to you. Subscribe to the newsletter to learn more about the world of social networks. See you again and good luck.

Who sees my VK likes?

In fact, your likes are visible to all VKontakte users, even if you are not friends with each other. Just click on the heart and open the list of those who rated it. Plus - the name of friends who liked the post or entry appears immediately next to the publication. The only option when hearts are not visible to another user is if you have added him to the “black list”. Otherwise, the information is publicly available, it is displayed in news and updates. But there is a solution here too - go to settings, privacy and edit the item “Who can see my VK actions”.

How to hide your comments

Relatively recently, such a function appeared in VK - when you go to the news feed, you can see what comments your friends left under a particular post. If this does not suit you and you do not want to advertise this information, then you can hide it as follows:

1. Go to your VK page and open the menu by clicking on your name in the upper right corner.
2. Next, click “Settings”, then “Privacy”.
3. At the very bottom of this page is the line “What updates do my friends see in the news.”
4. Here you can select specific items by checking the boxes next to them.

At the end of the article, it is worth noting that you can check whether the settings worked by asking your friends to visit your page, or by logging in yourself from another account. You can also just wait and make sure that no new comments appear.

Hiding the ability to comment on your page is not difficult, but it can be very useful. This will preserve your privacy and save you from unnecessary worries due to other people's unsolicited opinions.

Why do people put likes on VK themselves, what does this mean?

If your account automatically puts likes on incomprehensible posts, then this is not magic or a ghost. Is it a virus or a security problem! Some users have been appearing for a long time under various advertising posts or in public pages that you have not even seen. There are several reasons:

• Someone is using your account.

  

• The computer is infected with a virus.
• The account is included in the community promotion service.

In any case, you need to go to the settings, end all sessions except the current one, and change the password. It is also advised to remove various programs and extensions for VK. There have been times when I had to reinstall Windows completely. By the way, carry out all actions from your computer. When you go to the list of addresses, you may not find the left ones. But after changing the password and completing the sessions, you will notice that the problem with likes will disappear.

Alternatives to hiding a comment on Facebook

1. Ignore the comment: If it's something stupid and safe for you and your friends, you can ignore it.
2. Give a (suitable) answer: There's no denying that Facebook and social media in general are full of trolls whose only motto is to drag you down. Sometimes it's best to answer with facts, figure it out, and put the commentator in his place. Just make sure you are polite and non-offensive.
3. Take the conversation elsewhere: Not everyone is interested in reading dozens of comments and replies where the two of you argue/argue. In this case, it is better to have the conversation in a private place such as Facebook Messenger, WhatsApp, email, text message or perhaps over the phone.
4. Deleting a post or comment: Facebook allows you to delete comments others have made on your post. If anything is offensive, harmful or spam, feel free to delete those comments. To delete, tap and hold a comment in the mobile app and select Delete.
5. Report a post or comment: If a comment is too harsh, you should report it to Facebook. This will help keep others safe as well. To report from the mobile app, long-press on a comment and select Find Support or Report Comment; On your computer, click the three dots icon and select "Leave a review or report this comment."
6. Unfriend, block or ban the person: Finally, if you feel that the person is not worth further interaction, you have the option to unfriend or block them. Alternatively, if you run the page, you can block the user from the page.

Note: If necessary, you can also limit who can comment on your posts. To do this, go to Settings & Privacy > Settings > Public Messages > Who can follow me (make sure 'Public' is selected) > Edit > select your preferred option from General, Friends, and Friends of Friends.

How to view VK likes from your phone?

The likes you or other people have given (in addition to those pages that you are on the blacklist or someone else has you) can be seen from your phone, tablet or PC. There is no difference in actions, just as there is no connection to the operating system. The technique is quite simple:

• Go to the desired post.
• Open the full entry.
• Click near the heart.
• A list of people who rated the entry opens.
• Browse and enjoy (or do some research if you're a girl).

Important point! If you want to see all the latest likes you gave or don't know where your favorite post is, go to bookmarks. After the update, VK shows all the posts that you have rated.

In the case when you want to view other people's likes, the system is different:

• Go to the news.
• Go to updates.
• The latest “hearts” and subscriptions, publications of your friends are highlighted.

Remember that you can only find other people’s likes from a computer; there is no friends updates section on your phone, regardless of the operating system.

Comment filters

We recommend paying attention to the spam filter function, which allows you to maintain a list of prohibited words. As soon as a user uses one of them when commenting, a special bot will automatically delete the message. Let's figure out how to find it.

1. Go to the settings menu; to do this, tap on the three horizontal bars in the personal profile section.

   

2. We find the item “Confidentiality».

   

3. In the next window, click on the item "Comments».

   

4. Function "hide insults" is set by default, but just below there is "manual filter" We recommend activating it and entering annoying keywords there.

   

Now you know how to disable comments on Instagram using both mobile operating systems and a personal computer. We recommend setting privacy settings immediately after registration, this way you can avoid negative emotions from the application.

How do you know if the likes are up?

Let us clarify that it is impossible to accurately determine the wound “hearts” of VK, the evidence is indirect. As they say, “Not caught, not a thief!” Several ways to identify insincere likes:

• Go to the list of those who rated the entry.
• View multiple profiles selectively.
• If even 15% of the total number are frozen pages, deleted or accounts with a minimum number of subscribers, the photos are bots.

A large number of likes relative to the number of subscribers indicates a dubious image of those who rate it. Another option is to download special programs that detect fake likes and bot subscribers.

We recommend reading “The meaning and features of getting likes on VKontakte.”

Conducting live broadcasts

One of the latest features added to the social network is conducting live broadcasts for subscribers. During the broadcast, users communicate with each other in the comments section. The chat starts immediately after the live broadcast is turned on. The last question that is worth understanding is how to remove comments on Instagram live. The process differs depending on the selected devices.

On Android smartphones

it will be available on the Play Market. Through it you can launch live broadcasts. To disable commenting on them, follow these steps:

• Click on the response input line. Next to it is an ellipsis to open the menu.
• Open the menu and select the Disable Comments option.

From this moment on, users can no longer comment during the live broadcast.

On iPhones

Downloading the application for iPhone is available in the official App Store. It also has all the functions found on Android. To disable commenting, follow the instructions:

• Find a place. Next to it is an ellipsis that calls the settings.
• Open the menu and select the Turn off comments option.

From this moment on, all viewers will no longer be able to write responses. To perform the reverse action, follow the same algorithm.

Now you know the processes for disabling responses from subscribers. All versions of Instagram have features to limit comments. Prohibit comments only if necessary, in cases where the broadcast format requires it. In other cases, you shouldn't do this. Subscribers always want to ask questions and expect active answers to them and feedback from their idol. This way you will develop your profile and attract new subscribers, especially when you use a business page.

How to prohibit rating posts in VK?

In this case, there are not many options - blacklist the user, hide the personal page (this is the latest innovation from the creators). Then you won’t be able to give you likes and see your “Like” on other people’s posts.

If we are talking about a community, then certain actions can be prohibited in two ways - by blacklisting or making the public closed. Then you can see the posts and actively participate in the group only with your permission, after the subscription is approved. This somewhat complicates the admin’s work and reduces the relevance and popularity of the group. And likes in a group are always good!

How to protect your profile from negativity

Any page owner can hide comments under a post, delete them, or block them. The same automatic filters filter out statements about appearance and personality. Constantly received negative feedback from other profiles is blocked. An ill-wisher receives a ban if the number of blocked statements exceeds the permissible limit. The administration and support service automatically receive blocking reports. Also, the profile owner is able to block ill-wishers manually. Then filters are enabled for the entire profile. The person will no longer see your posts and will not be able to write anything under them. You cannot enable this feature on a separate post. However, there is a function to completely disable or allow comments when publishing posts on a social network. So, how to close comments on Instagram:

• Launch the application and log in to the social network.
• Go to your main account page and open the "Edit Profile" section.
• Scroll down to the Comments option.
• Close comments on posts from certain people or from all users in principle.
• Turn on automatic filters. They block out negativity and comments about personality or appearance.
• Manual filters – enter specific statements or words. Reviews with these expressions are hidden automatically.
• Once filters are enabled, old comments under posts are also deleted. When the protection is disabled, all data will be restored.

What is meant by checking likes in a group, what does it give?

Checking likes on VKontakte for a group is an important point of work, which is necessary for the development of a page or public. It is necessary to count the number of “hearts”, look through the pages of those who rate it, and be able to correlate them with the number of subscribers, comments and reposts. All this is necessary to determine public activity, involvement, and popularity.

As a result, administrators can:

• Hold competitions for the most active user.
• Improve and develop the public.
• Clean subscriber lists from bots and fraudulent accounts.
• Attract advertisers.
• Improve content.

To check, it is better to use special applications and programs, since it is almost impossible to do this manually. You need to go to every post and profile of every person who rates it. The program specifies a time period, and the result is displayed in the form of graphs and pictures.

How to like on behalf of the VK group admin?

Putting a like on behalf of the admin of a group on VKontakte is quite difficult, since the technical service has not yet developed this function. But you can comment; this is allowed on open and closed public pages, public pages, and events. Just go to the post from the admin page and write a comment.

As for “Like”, you can use a little trick - repost it on your public page, and then the heart will appear automatically.

We recommend reading an article about how and why to delete likes on VK.

View hidden messages

We figured out how to block comments on Instagram. Now let's talk about how to read hidden statements. Consider these points:

• The text of the message can be seen by the sender himself. His nickname is indicated after the "@" symbol. An alert for a bad comment will appear in the action section.
• The first point works not only on your profile. Hidden comments will appear if you mentioned another user in the comment. The third party mentioned in the review will read the message if they are subscribed to the account of the owner of the publication.
