Social networks are a modern phenomenon that you shouldn’t fight, but you need to be able to use it. By registering, we plunge into the personal lives of other people, but we often expose our own too. True, over time there may be a need to limit access to your personal information. There are many cases of hackers using posts on social networks. Even a list of VKontakte friends can provide certain information about both you and your social circle. Fortunately, the social network allows you to hide certain (of your choice) friends from prying eyes. Here's how to do it.

What does my private VK page look like?
Many people are interested in what others see when entering their private VKontakte page. And you have the opportunity to find out. The page should already be closed.
- Go to profile settings;
Open your profile settings on VKontakte - Select the Privacy ;
- Scroll the page all the way down;
- Finding the link See how others see the page;
Click on the link at the bottom of the VK settings page - Click on the block at the top Unfamiliar users and select the name on whose behalf you want to view your page.

Another way to discover hidden friends on VK
There is also another way to find out the user’s hidden friends on VKontakte. To do this, you need to look through his wall in search of comments and likes from various people, and then see if the authors of the comments and likes are friends of this user.
If the “commentator” is not among your friends, you should go to his page and view the list of his friends. If in this list of friends you find the person from whose page you started your search, it means that it is quite possible that the author of the comments (likes) is such a hidden friend.
This method is inconvenient because sometimes you have to spend a significant amount of time before you discover any hidden friend. In addition, the author of the comment and our original user may be each other's hidden friends, which will complicate the process of effective search. However, this method is also quite effective and efficient in practice.
Hide your subscriptions from someone
You can hide your VK groups from friends, all users of the social network, or you can set up a list of those who can see subscriptions. To do this, go to “Settings” - “Who sees the list of my…”.
We select those who will have access to information:
- Just me or just friends;
- Certain categories - some friends (select these profiles), some lists of friends (note which ones).
To hide information about subscriptions from someone specific, you need to select “all except” and indicate the accounts of these people.
By the way, in addition, you can hide a person as friends, as well as other individual blocks of the page.
Method 2: how to find hidden friends without a program
If you do not use the specified application, then you will not be able to establish the exact number, much less the names of classified individuals. However, it is possible to calculate whether there are any in the profile of interest. The procedure will be as follows:
- Go to the page of the person you are interested in and open his “friendly” list.
- See how many contacts are indicated in the upper left corner of the page (“ All friends ”).
- Open “ Options ” and filter the given list by gender, for example, first men, and then women.
- Separately, you count: how many guys the user has as friends, and then how many girls, and add up the resulting numbers.
- If it turns out to be less than indicated on the page, then most likely there are hidden comrades, but you won’t be able to find out exactly who they are.
However, there is a nuance here. Check to see if this person has any blocked or deleted accounts on their friends list. If yes, then subtract their number from the difference obtained during the first calculation and then accurately determine the number of mysterious personalities. The fact is that when a page is deleted or blocked, the user loses his gender identity and, therefore, is not taken into account by the system when creating a filter.
How to hide friends on VKontakte?
Fortunately, the social network itself has such an opportunity. VKontakte offers a popular opportunity to hide your friends from the general list - no one will know that you are an acquaintance of a certain person.
You can hide VKontakte friends using built-in tools, without resorting to the help of third-party services. Open your VKontakte profile page and go to the “ My Settings ” section.
This can also be done using a direct link. In the right column, select the “ Privacy ” section or click on the direct link.
In the “ My Page ” section, find the item “ Who is visible in the list of my friends and subscriptions .” By default, the “ All friends ” option is there.
If you click on this option, a list of your friends will be displayed. By checking a box next to one of them, you can hide it from the general list.
But you can do the opposite by moving the “ Show Selected ” slider (it will appear with the first selection). This operation will display only the friends you have tagged in the public list.

True, the social network VKontakte imposes certain restrictions - you can hide no more than 30 of your friends.

Method 1: how to find a friend’s hidden contacts using a special application
The answer is simple: this is personal information, and in general it should not be accessible. It’s not for nothing that a person doesn’t want everyone to know her. However, there is a special application that allows you to calculate secret data. But remember that with such actions you are invading the user’s personal space, and he may not like it at all.
So, here's the procedure:
- Go to the group https://vk.com/com220
- Click on the link "Who is any user hiding?».
- Go to the data scanning page and enter the ID of the person you are interested in, or the text that comes after “https://vk.com/” in the address bar of his page.Next, click on the “ Search for hidden friends ” button, and the program begins scanning the specified user’s page.
- Allow the application to access your account (I wonder why the application needs it?)
Next, click on the “ Search for hidden friends ” button, and the program begins scanning the specified user’s page.
And here is the result: this account had 3 hidden friends, whom the program identified and displayed on the screen.
If your friend is not hiding anyone from you, the corresponding picture will appear.
This is how you search for hidden friends on VKontakte , if the person you are interested in has them. Finding out secret information is not so difficult, but it is not entirely fair to a friend. Therefore, even if you understand how to see hidden friends on VKontakte , try to use the program less often. It’s not for nothing that the owner of the page doesn’t want you to see this data. Respect for privacy and personal space, even virtual, is one of the important principles of communication on social networks.
How else to see friends on a closed page
We often add the same friends on different social networks. If you are registered in VK and Odnoklassniki, then you understand perfectly well what we are talking about. Find a person's profile on OK, Facebook, Instagram or other services.
Use whatever information is available on the closed page displayed. This could be a place of work, study, etc.
Link to the group in VKontakte on a closed page
Links will be useful in finding the necessary data. The same methods can be used to view subscribers of a private profile on VKontakte.
Perhaps you want to find out your list of friends without adding them as friends - this is almost impossible. We warn you that if you look for prohibited methods, such as hacking VK, hacker services, you will most likely not only waste time, but also permanently lose your page or the money that pseudo-specialists will demand for their work.
