How to view sent, hidden gifts in VK

If you are reading these lines, then most likely you have already received a gift from an unknown sender on the VKontakte social network and want to determine the identity of the sender. Obviously, the present is not an easy one. Would you waste your time trying to find out the sender? Often such gifts come in the form of a love message with the signature “I love you”, “Be mine”, etc. In this article, you will learn about the possibilities of revealing your identity.

How to see sent, hidden gifts in VK - an easy way

If a person has many friends and subscribers on VK, he often does not understand how to find out who he gave a gift to in VK. After all, it is very easy to forget or confuse. And sending the same gift to the same person is not very nice. A friend may be offended, especially if the friend is female . For some reason, girls pay a lot of attention to such things.

In the old version of VK there was a special “sent gifts” tab, but it has now been removed for security reasons.

Actions with gifts

Now let's move on to the most interesting part, i.e. to the practical part. The first question: “How to send a gift to VKontakte for free?” And here the most important thing is to determine which pictures are, in principle, free. But don’t expect any difficulties: the entire main range is subject to payment. And users can receive free gifts on VKontakte only on certain holidays. For example, on May 9, each social network member has the opportunity to send, for example, 5 St. George ribbons. And if you want to congratulate a friend using internal “Contact” surprises, you will have to pay a minimum of 21 rubles - this is the minimum price of a VK gift at the time of writing.

And since we've moved on to the financial part of the function, let's talk about payment. To pay for the desired surprise picture, you must first top up your VKontakte account. As you know (you know, right??), the internal currency of VK is called “votes”, and after transferring money to your account, the conversion into these same votes automatically occurs. And only then you can safely purchase a paid gift to subsequently send it to your friend.

So how can I see sent gifts in VK now?

If you periodically have to remember what gifts you gave and to whom, we do not recommend that you clear your correspondence history for at least a year.
Go into a dialogue with the user to whom you are going to send a gift, scroll back and see if you have already given him the same gift before. All gifts are displayed in correspondence, including hidden ones.

How can I view sent gifts on VK if they are not hidden and the message history has been deleted?

Usually, doubts arise only among a relatively small number of people. To see if you gave exactly the same gift to your girlfriend for her last birthday, you need to:

Go to her page.
There, right under the photo and the list of friends you will see the inscription “gifts”.
List of gifts
By clicking on it, you can see who gave what gifts, when.
Window title with a complete list of gifts

It is useful to view all the gifts of the person you are interested in, even if you sent the gift, hiding your name from strangers. When you see your gift with a hidden name in the general list of gifts, you will most likely remember that it was you who gave it.

This method can become too tedious if you are interested in not just one person, or a small group of friends, but more than a dozen. In this case, page verification may take too long. In addition, some people generally hide all their gifts.

Actions with gifts

And now another important point: confidentiality and hidden gifts. Agree, not everyone wants to show off their gifts. And not everyone wants to give something to someone openly. Therefore, the VK system allows you to manage privacy settings for both recipients and senders.

Most often, of course, the senders themselves use this function - they make an anonymous surprise. What reasons there are for this is a personal matter for everyone. Maybe a modest lover wants to secretly please his beloved, or he even wants to give himself a gift through another account (officially, you won’t be able to send it to yourself). In any case, already when sending a gift picture, you can select the audience to whom your name will be visible.

And there are several options here:

the sender's name is visible to everyone;
only the recipient will know who sent the gift;
you remain completely anonymous.

So, if you want to hide the name even from the recipient, choose the third option.

As a gift recipient, you can also set your own privacy preferences. The list of donated pictures can only be seen by you, or you and your friends, or also friends of friends, or generally all VK users. Many third-party online services offer to view hidden gifts, but we will talk about how functional they are, and especially how safe they are, in another article. And there we will tell you how to find out the unknown sender of a gift in VK.

In special cases, you can remove the gift. But remember that canceling an action, i.e. You won't be able to get back deleted pictures. Therefore, when deleting, think carefully about everything again.

Let's summarize. Now you know how to send gifts for free, how to pay for them and hide them when sending and receiving. We hope the information will be as useful as possible for you. Well, if you still have questions, post them in the comments!

You can view data from closed pages if only the user page itself is closed, i.e. if he went into the settings and in the “Privacy” tab only prohibited viewing his page but not photos and videos!

To view photos/videos/gifts/notes on a closed page you need to:

1.) First, you need to know the id (unique number) of the person whose data you want to view. To do this, find him on VKontakte, click on his page and you will see a warning that the user has limited access rights to his page. Now look at the top! At the top you will see the address of his page. It will look something like this: https://vkontakte.ru/id27026 Write down the last digits in this link on a piece of paper - this is the ID of the person you are going to monitor;
2.) Now you must choose what exactly on his private page you want to see? Each type of data has its own link, in which you just need to insert its ID and you will be able to see what was not available to you. Photos have their own link, videos have their own, etc.;
So, to view it photo albums
(provided that he/she hid only the page and not the photos themselves):
https://vkontakte.ru/albums ID
Paste this link into the browser bar (where the site address is) and instead of the last two letters “ID” enter the number that you wrote down on a piece of paper.

How to see hidden gifts in VK using id?

On the Internet you can find a way to view gifts using ID. But let's figure out what it is and whether it's worth doing it. First, let's understand what ID is.

Each user on VK has his own individual number, the so-called id. With its help you can also see his gifts. To do this, you need to know the id. You can do it like this:

Hover your mouse over “send a gift” and right-click.
"Send Gift" button
A menu will appear in which you need to click on “copy link”.
Pay attention to the end of the link after vkontakte.ru/gifts.php?to, since these numbers are the id.
Then type vkontakte.ru/gifts.php?id and add id.
Type the link

Ready! You can see the gifts. If you sent someone a private gift, and your name was hidden from other users, you will also be able to remember your actions and your gift by seeing it among others and looking at the date it was sent. But is it worth doing all this?

After all, it’s much easier, without using an ID, to go to a person’s page and look in the section with his gifts for everything that interests you. If a person hid his gifts, no knowledge of ID will help.

By clicking on this button you will be taken to the settings menu

To hide gifts yourself, go to settings, “Privacy” section and set the corresponding option to “Only me.”

How to find out the unknown sender of a gift on VKontakte?

Probably every user of the social network VKontakte has encountered the fact that an anonymous sender sent him a gift. Of course, a gift from a mysterious stranger haunts you and you are curious about who this person is. Some, having received a gift from an anonymous person, react neutrally, while others are haunted by the thought of who it could be?

It is impossible to officially find out the sender of an anonymous gift.

It would seem that nowadays there are all kinds of special applications through which you can find out everything. But, unfortunately, it is impossible to find out who this mysterious stranger is. Why? The fact is that the developers of this social network have worked carefully to ensure that the anonymous user remains anonymous.

Of course, this is unfair and generally dishonest, but what can you do? No matter how hard you try to find a way out of this situation, nothing will work out. You can find a special program, in the description of which it will be written that you will recognize this mysterious stranger for free.

All programs and services that guarantee you to recognize the anonymous sender are fake and, at best, will simply not show you anything; at worst, they will steal your data.

However, you should not believe this. Such software provokes your curiosity, but does not help in solving your problem. Therefore, you will have to come to terms with the fact that this mysterious admirer will remain unknown. And perhaps this is even for the better.

About hidden gifts

If you are interested in how to view sent, hidden gifts in VK, using some special program, you should be disappointed. Such programs do not exist, and sites that offer such a service or similar actions are fraudulent . Try not to mess with them. Virtual gifts are not such a serious thing that you would risk the security of your page for them. You should also not trust sites that offer to send paid gifts for free. There are a number of actions that have not existed in VK and are unlikely to ever exist, for example, viewing page guests. These actions also include viewing hidden gifts.

General facts about “Contact” gifts

VKontakte is a virtual social network, and receiving gifts here is also virtual. They are pictures and emoticons that have no practical significance, but definitely bring pleasant emotions to the recipient. These are almost like virtual postcards that Internet users actively sent to each other 7, or even 10 years ago. Only more concise, neater and a little less popular.

It is worth noting the range that VK offers. All gifts are divided into categories, but still, choosing the right one sometimes becomes difficult. You can also give VKontakte stickers as a gift, and in this case we can already talk about the usefulness of the surprise. After all, the recipient user will be able to use interesting, non-standard stickers in messages!

But what do you need to know about the function itself? Well, firstly, it doesn’t hurt to find out where the VKontakte gifts are.

How to find and give free gifts in Odnoklassniki for 0 approx

If you actively use this social network, then you know that there are gifts that you can send to friends. Some of them cost money, but others we can send for free. This is exactly what will be discussed in today's article. We will tell you how to send free gifts on Odnoklassniki for 0 OK and, who knows, maybe you will become a fan of this process.

Miniature pictures, animation on postcards and other funny inscriptions - after you are sent and received by the user, they will appear on his photo and you will feel doubly pleased. So you can simply congratulate on the beginning of a new day, on its completion, give a virtual birthday cake, or, in general, confess your love.

If you decide to buy a gift using the internal currency of Odnoklassniki (OKi), you can read the article on receiving them for free. Well, we move on to instructions for finding free gifts.

Types of gifts in ok

To begin with, let us clarify that a gift within this social network is, in essence, a sticker picture that one user can send to another.

Accordingly, this virtual picture symbolizes a certain object: candy, all kinds of flowers, soft toys, solid drinks and even cars.

There are congratulation stickers, declarations of love, compliments, wishes, there are animated pictures and even musical ones.

If we classify virtual gifts more specifically, this can be done according to two criteria:

The cost of pictures varies from 1-90 OK, and they differ in size and expiration date. The most expensive are animated, or, as they are called in society itself, live pictures. In addition, there is an All Inclusive option. Otherwise, it can be called unlimited, because...

By paying a certain amount, you get the opportunity to choose and send congratulations without restrictions. If you don’t want to spend money at all, you can send stickers for free, but finding them is not easy, because...

Among the huge assortment, they are rare, and for some reason the developers decided not to include them in a separate section.

Let's move directly to the topic of our article. According to privacy, gifts can be:

public;
private;
secret.

Every user who has visited the page of the person to whom the pictures were sent can see all three types. But not everyone and not always can recognize the sender himself. In the case of public stickers, there are no secrets: the name of the congratulator is known to both the recipient and all guests of his profile.

A private gift allows you to hide your name only from guests/friends. And a secret gift in Odnoklassniki guarantees complete confidentiality, which means that even the recipient himself will not know on whose behalf the surprise was sent.

How to delete a gift in Odnoklassniki

Let's consider the option when you need to delete an image given to you:

You can get rid of the gift in the corresponding section shown in the screenshot.
By clicking on the button, a page will appear with gifts from friends, anonymous senders or just well-wishers.
If you decide to get rid of a boring gift, hover your mouse over it and a gray cross will appear.
By clicking on the delete button, confirm the action by clicking on the “Yes” button.

If you want to change the image next to your avatar, then it is not necessary to wash the gift. Just go to the section and select another image. The more gifts, the more variety for the main photo. On forums and on the social network itself, people ask the question of how to delete all presents. There is no such function on the social network; each image is deleted individually.

How to secretly send a gift to a friend

To send a gift, even if not anonymously, you will need to purchase votes.

To replenish them you need:

Go to the “Settings” section.
Open the “Payments and Transfers” tab.
Next, select “Top up balance”.

Sometimes they are available for free as part of “Special Offers”, where they can be found in the “Top up balance” section. Voices can only be purchased on the official website.

More on the topic: Changing photos - saving likes

Today it is no longer possible to send a gift to VK anonymously. The VKontakte administration has canceled this option. Now every gift your friends give you has the sender’s signature and is always available. The same secret gifts that were sent earlier will remain anonymous.

In 2021, on February 14, the administration of the social network made it possible to secretly send only one gift to everyone. This action was made in honor of the holiday. The support says that the gift anonymity feature may be reactivated in the future.

In addition, when sending gifts to your friends, you can check the box “Show text and gift only to recipient” under the block with a message to the recipient. In this case, no stranger will be able to recognize the sender of the gift, that is, your name.

We write a text for a gift that only the recipient will see

The recipient of the gift can adjust the privacy settings in order to hide the block with all received gifts from other users. In any case, the block with gifts will not go anywhere. With certain settings, outsiders will not be able to identify the sender, as well as other details that are visible only to its owner. It is simply impossible to recognize unknown senders, even old gifts, on VKontakte.

Here you need to click “Settings”
In the menu that appears, select “settings”.

Settings menu contents
Then look for the “Privacy” section

Privacy settings
Select the item “Who is visible in the list of my friends and subscriptions.”
Then enter the id of the friends you would like to hide. The ID can be found on your friend's page in the address bar after the slash. If you don’t know the user’s id and don’t want to waste time opening his page, you can simply manually select friends from the general list.

List of hidden friends
Then confirm your choice by clicking the “save changes” button.
After this, you need to look at the “Who sees my hidden friends” menu and put the checkbox you need. If you want to hide some friends from only one person, you need to specify a username. If you don’t want anyone to try to draw any conclusions about you based on the composition of your friends, feel free to Fr.

Do not be afraid of the irreversibility of this action. Your life situation can change at any moment and you can then easily discover your friends by simply removing the crosses next to their names.

When hiding friends from your page from a specific person, you should know that there are simple ways that will help him expose you.

If you want to prove to your jealous other half that you no longer maintain correspondence with a person who seems suspicious to him, this person needs to be warned so that he, too, can mark you as a hidden friend. Otherwise, by going to this person’s page, your jealous person will be able to see you among his friends, and the deception will be exposed.
A jealous person can create a second left page on VKontakte under a different name, and from there look at the list of your friends. Or ask one of your friends to do it.

Therefore, in such cases, it is best to select “only me” in the “who sees my hidden friends” settings.

You should not pay attention to the offers of some sites to hide your friends or see someone’s hidden friends using paid programs or services of third-party sites. This is very dangerous for your VK account. You may lose your page altogether, or your page will start sending advertising spam. Therefore, use only the legal method to hide your friends on VK.

What does a private gift mean in Odnoklassniki?

The social network Odnoklassniki has long gone beyond the scope of a regular site for communicating with friends and relatives.
This is a platform through which you can realize your talents, while away a couple of hours of free time, or pleasantly surprise someone you know.

Strangers will see this gift, but will not be able to find out the name of the sender.
