How to remove a friend on VKontakte from your phone

Many users correspond and communicate with their friends on social networks on an ongoing basis. Some just find out about things, while others ask a lot, tell stories, and so on.

If the user has a friend with whom he would like to stop communicating, he can block him. There are different reasons for blocking another user. This could be either personal hostility or the fact that a person pesters another a lot. It could also be a maniac or a hacker who needs to be blocked.

How to block a friend on VK

When a blocking occurs, another user will no longer be able to write or simply view information about the page of the person who blocked him. Users are losing all ways to communicate and monitor each other’s lives, so many try to block only those people who are unpleasant to them.

To block via phone, a small amount is enough:

First, you need to go to the page of the person you would like to block; You can only block friends. It is quite problematic to block a user who is not a friend.
After that, click on the three dots in the upper right corner, which will open an additional menu;
We look and see there an item called “Block”. This button is responsible for blocking the contact;

Tap on it, agree to the conditions for blocking and remove the user.

After this, neither he nor the user will be able to unfollow each other. Blocking is a quick action. In the same way, you can unblock the user in the future.

Actions from the phone

Today, more and more people use the mobile version of VKontakte.

To clear the contact list in the application, proceed as follows:

Open your profile.
Go to the “Friends” tab.
They go to the page of the user they want to remove from the friend zone.
Click on the 3-dot icon in the upper corner of the page and select “Delete”.

For mass cleaning, you can use the Cleaner VK application. Owners of Android smartphones can download it from the Play Market, and iPhone users can download it from the App Store.

How to hide a friend's news in your feed

If the user does not want to see the posts posted by one of his friends, then he can hide his news from his feed in a few clicks. The same action can be carried out with any public that is not interesting to the user, but the subscription must be saved.

In turn, the user whose news is hidden will not know about it, then it will not be reflected to him that his friend has blocked his news. The concept of “news” includes everything that a friend publishes: pictures, posts, music, videos and much more. The user will not see all this in the future:

First, you need to open any entry posted by a user whose news you would like to hide;
After this, the user needs to look at the upper right corner and click on the three dots that are located in it;
Now select the item called “Hide source news”. By clicking on this button, the user further agrees to the action.

After this, all posts that the selected user has posted will not be displayed in the page owner’s feed.

Methods for deleting friends on VK

Even if in reality a person’s social circle is small, if he is a long-time user of a social network, his friend zone may include a huge number of friends and acquaintances, many of whom no longer maintain relationships. Duplicates of profiles also accumulate when the owner has opened a new account. To avoid this, it is recommended to clear your friends and followers list from time to time.

There are several ways to remove friends from VK.

Standard methods

The easiest way to edit the friend zone is in the browser version of the social network.

There are 2 removal methods:

Through your personal page. Under the avatar there is a button “Your friends”. Click on it to bring up a list of actions and select the “Delete” line.
From the general list. By scrolling or using the search function, find the person you want to remove from the friend zone, click on the 3 dots on the right side of the line and also select “Delete” from the proposed options.

If an error occurs, the action can be canceled. The main thing is to do this before refreshing the page. For former friends, the deletion occurs unnoticed - they will not receive a notification about it.

Mass deletion of friends

The first method is convenient if you need to remove only individual users. But if a global cleanup is planned, this path may take too long. But the social network does not provide a function that allows you to delete several users at once. Therefore, you will have to resort to the help of third-party applications.

For those who have a Google Chrome web browser, there is a browser extension called Instrumentum. You can download it from the official store. The add-on allows you to either remove all users from friends on VK at once, or create lists or get rid of only individual people.

Mass deletion is possible through a special extension.

The algorithm of actions is simple:

Open the extension by clicking on the icon in the right corner of the browser window.
Go to the “My Page” tab.
Go to the “Friends” section.
Click on the “Cleaning” line.
In the window that opens, select the desired one from the proposed options.

It is possible to delete everyone at once or only blocked and deleted pages, remove those who were not added to the categories “Best Friends”, “Colleagues”, “Relatives” or clear individual lists.

For those who use other browsers, you will need the AutoVK application. You can download it from the link soft-vk.ru/autovk. After installing the program, you will need authorization in VK - you must enter your username and password.

Then proceed as follows:

Select the “Friends” icon.
In the list that drops down after clicking, select the person you want to delete.

It should be warned that the administration of the social network does not encourage the use of third-party applications and warns that such actions, especially those related to entering your personal data, may pose a threat to privacy security. If you decide to use this method, it is recommended that you change your password immediately afterward.

A safer way is to delete profiles using scripts.

They operate according to the following algorithm:

Go to the “Friends” section.
Press F12 to open the developer panel.
Select the Console tab.
Scroll down the page and enter the text in the empty line:

You must enter the code in the empty line.
This action allows you to quickly clear the friend zone. You can also narrow the list if you first set parameters - specify restrictions by age, place of residence or gender. You can also remove only those friends who are online at that moment.

The process is irreversible, so before deciding on a total cleaning, you should think carefully.

How to remove a VKontakte friend from your phone

Deleting a friend is an extreme case when the user directly says that he does not want to continue communication. There are different ways to remove a friend from a social network on your phone; it’s worth considering all the methods in more detail.

After this, the user will be moved to the “Subscribers” section. The user’s news feed will not display the posts of the deleted friend, while for him, on the contrary, everything will be displayed, since he is considered a subscriber.

In the Katemobile app

Kate Mobile is a current and unique version of the familiar VK. Through it you can quite easily manage additional functions that are not available in the usual application. This is why many choose Kate Mobile as their usual VK and use it on an ongoing basis.

Log in to the application, and you must download it in advance through official sources, then log in to it by entering your login and password for the page;
After this, you need to go to the “Friends” section, which is located on the bottom panel of the site. He is 4th in the row;

Details

He still remains in your subscribers

Having deleted a friend using these methods, know that he still remains in your subscribers, which means that he can visit your page, track updates, and also send messages.

Note: to receive messages only from users who are on your friends list, set this function in the settings, or make your profile private.

If you want to remove a person from your subscribers, then you need to add him to the blacklist. However, you should be aware that if this user wants to contact you or track activity on your page, he will be notified that he is on the blacklist. Sometimes there is a need for the person we deleted not to know about it.

Then the Internet offers us this method:
On the tab with friends, find the applications section;
Go to the user page;
Add to the blacklist;
Wait 15 minutes and remove it from the black list.

Important: This method is designed for older versions of VK. At the moment, it is almost impossible to remove a person from subscribers.

And in order to see all your subscribers

you need to go to the “Friends” tab, then click “Requests”. This will open your Inbox, where you can add the user back to your friends list by clicking the Add button.

In order to remove a user from friends in the application on your phone, you need to:

Go to the user page;
click on the action button at the top;
select “Delete”;
user has been deleted.

Sometimes you need to delete an entire list of users. You could create such lists to unite all the colleagues, relatives or users you need for your work.

To remove the list you need:

Enter the “My Contacts” section;
In the side menu, find the “Friends Lists” section;
The button to delete the list is located at the top;
Click and confirm the action.

In addition to the fact that we can delete unnecessary contacts ourselves, programs have been created to make this process easier.

How to remove all friends at once

VK does not have a built-in function for deleting all friends at once, so it should use specialized utilities for this. One of these is VkCleanAcc. Unfortunately, you can only download it on a PC, so you won’t be able to perform the action through the app or your mobile phone.

After downloading the archive to your PC through official sources, you should launch the application, and then:

Click on the “Authorization” item. It is located on the top panel;
Now the user should log in by entering the password for his page. Once everything is entered, click on the “Login” item;
The application is now authorized. Click on the item “Delete all friends”, and then start working;
The utility will inform you how everything will be completed.

You can also set certain criteria for deletion. This is done for convenience.

How to remove a person from important friends on VKontakte

Home › VKontakte ›

VKontakte is one of the most popular social networks. The priority function of the service is to add friends. Thanks to this function, people interact with each other. However, this opportunity has a peculiarity. It includes an algorithm for constructing a rating of friends, which users can control: for example, removing users from important VK friends.

Temporary deletion

There are two ways to temporarily delete a VKontakte friend. First option:

Go to your friends list.
Find the profile you need.
Click on the ellipsis button and select “Unfriend.”
After this action, “Cancel” will appear. Click on it.
Refresh the page.

As a result, the profile will lose its leading position at the point and go down. He could end up in 5th, 17th or 30th place. However, after such a procedure, not only the person will fall to the lower positions. The page owner will also lose a place in the other profile's ranking.

The second method is to use the VKontakte blacklist. This is a reliable method for lowering a friend's priority.

To do this, follow these steps:

Open the main menu of the social network and go to the “Settings” section.
The “Black List” item will appear on the right, click on it and perform the “Add to Black List” action.
Paste a link to your friend's page into the text field.
A “Block” icon will appear next to your account. Click on it.

A user cannot be unblocked for several hours. After the time has passed, you can add it to your contacts again by selecting “Remove from list.”

Activity Suppression

The rating of friends depends on the user's activity.

The more a user visits other people's accounts, the higher they rise.

This is also affected by correspondence, likes and reposts.

To lower your profile position, you need to:

Do not visit your friend’s page, do not like or contact for 1-2 weeks.
Be active on other accounts. Visit their page several times a day, rate photos and posts on the wall, leave comments, repost. It is also recommended to communicate more in private messages.

How to permanently delete a friend on VK

If the user is not satisfied with the fact that he has removed another person from friends, then he can use the additional “deletion” and block him. These are extreme measures, since in this case the remote friend will not be able to see user updates, posts, and also submit a friend request. There is simply no other way to permanently delete a friend on VK. The user has only one type of deletion available, and if he wants not to be followed, he can block the user.

To do this you need:

Open the page of the person you would like not only to delete, but also to block;
After that, tap on the three dots located in the upper right corner;
Now select the “Block” item and confirm the action.

After this, the remote user will not be able to write, much less view the entries.

How to delete a public page (public) in Contact?

Everything here is a little trickier, but essentially nothing complicated either - you just need to know the sequence of steps. It is not possible to directly delete a group or public from VK (in the manner of “My Page”), but it will be possible to make a trick with your ears, which is nevertheless offered as a recipe and in the official instructions for using this social network.

So, first, we will need to delete all subscribers of the public, as well as all posts and media files - in general, delete all information.
Then the public (public page) will have to be converted into a group. This can be done without any problems if you have no more than ten thousand subscribers (hardly anyone in their right mind would dare to delete a public page from Contact with this or more traffic). To do this you will need to click on the button "Transfer to group", which you can easily find in the right column on your public page.
Because Our public page has now become a group, it’s time to make it private. After this, all you have to do is leave this community yourself (where all the participants except you have already been deleted in the first step described above). To do this, click on the “You are in a group” > “Leave group” buttons.
After some time, the essentially empty group will be deleted by Contact moderators (or automatically). True, this will not happen instantly, but without participants it will not be possible to notice its existence. Whether she exists or not, no one will ever find or notice her.
