How to immediately open the full version

note

It is possible that after switching to the full version, you will need to log in to “my page” on VK. To do this, enter the login and password for your account.

What are the advantages of a computer (full) website?

The desktop site is designed for large monitors; its interface is organized in such a way that users can easily find the functions and services they need. Therefore, the desktop site page displays a large number of sections, and a number of buttons are duplicated. Next, we will talk in more detail about the main advantages it has:

  • Two menus: the left bar and the menu, which is called up by clicking on the icon on the top panel with the profile name.

  • The presence of a number of important but rarely used sections: “Products”, “Management”, “Documents”, “Mobile services”, “Application settings”.
  • If you need to edit personal information, be sure to use the full version of VKontakte for the computer (Login > “My Page” > “Edit” button under the avatar).

  • Ability to use all extensions and games installed in the service.

But don’t forget that developers spend more time on the mobile version. Therefore, many actions on the PC screen are quite problematic. For example, in order to make a call from a computer or post a story, you will have to go through an entire quest.

It is worth noting that vk com is a computer version; when entering my page via phone using this link, the user will be redirected to the mobile version.

Why do you need the full version of VK, why is it better than the mobile one?

Only in the full version are all the features of the site available that are not available in the mobile version or in phone applications. For example, creating a request for support agents. In addition, in the full version there are no restrictions when restoring access to the page and, in general, there are much fewer problems with this - especially with attaching photos and entering a confirmation code. It also makes it easier to understand the reasons for blocking a page and unblock it. Therefore, for such matters, we recommend always using the full version of the VKontakte website.

How to contact support via computer

Only a user registered in VK can contact technical support using the method described below.

The VKontakte help service receives tens of thousands of requests every day. Most of them are spam or typical problems that can be easily solved using the “Help” section. To reduce the number of such requests, the administration of the social network left the “Write to Support” buttons only for those issues that would be really difficult for users to solve on their own.

To send a message to technical support, you need to find a topic in the “Help” section, in the description of which there is a “Contact Support” or “Write to Support” button. Depending on the theme, the label on the button may have other label options.

One of these topics is “My page was hacked!” You can enter this query in the search bar and submit a request using the button under the help text or independently search for another suitable topic with a request button.

Write to support

You can use the direct link and immediately get to the page with the support request form.

In the submission form, you must indicate the topic of the appeal and describe the problem in detail. Include screenshots, photos, and other documents in your message that will help the agent understand your predicament.

The more detailed you describe the situation, the more likely it is that you will get help. You will receive an answer from a specialist in a personal message, and the answer will always be in the “My questions” tab of the “Help” section.

How to write to an agent on VK

Only one application can be processed. Therefore, if you want to write another letter, you will have to wait for a response message or delete the already submitted request. This can be done in the “My Questions” tab. There you can view all requests ever sent, delete or edit the text of a message that is still being processed, and also add a clarifying comment.

VKontakte technical support requests

There is a public page “Support Team” on the social network. In it you can find out details about the work of agents. The information block about the community contains instructions on how to write your question to technical support, how to share your favorite answer with other VK users or complain about the poor quality of work of a specialist.

For marketers who are setting up an advertising campaign on VK, there is a separate application form. Using it, you can get help much faster, however, experts will only consider problems related to advertising in VK.
