Briefly about the changes

To be honest, we really like the new look of the mobile app! Super stylish, pleasant and unusual for VK. In some ways it reminded us of Instagram + something from Facebook. White, with colored icons and occasional blue font in the spirit of VK. We are sure that you will also check out this beauty.

The tabs below have changed their purpose and name. The news remains where it was, and recommendations and notifications now live there.

But then there is a new “General” tab, where you will find communities, music and videos, broadcasts, podcasts, games and all services. In this part, we were very attracted to the colored icons.

After General there is a standard messages section, but the next one is a section with a list of friends, which is really quite convenient. A very interesting feature is that now you don’t have to go to a friend’s page to send him a message, the dialogue icon is right next to the name in the list.

And the last block is Profile. Here the appearance has changed more - you can look at more photos without going to this section, “Detailed information” seems to be in a separate window on top of the page, and more. Here it’s easier to use it yourself and understand that it looks stylish. That's not all, if you double-click on the profile tab, a list of additional functions opens, where you will find: likes, bookmarks, statistics, history archive, documents, money transfers and settings. Also, with one click you will switch to the dark theme.

How can I make sure that the link opens the full version of VK, and not the mobile one?

If there is m.vk.com... , then the mobile version will open at this address in any case. To fix this, you need to remove the letter m and the period after it at the beginning of the link.

Example. It was https://m.vk.com/vhod_ru It became https://vk.com/vhod_ru

In exactly the same way, you can correct the address in the address bar of your browser to open the full version of the page you are on. You need to click on the address bar, erase the letter m and the period at the beginning, and then press Enter on the keyboard (or the Go button, Open in the browser itself).

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 find out a phone number from a page in VK

Typically, to find out such information, you need to carefully study the user's profile. People often provide phone numbers. You can also ask to send contacts in a personal message. But these methods do not always help. Next we will talk about alternative methods.

In the mobile application

To obtain the necessary data using the mobile application, you need to do the following:

• Open the page of the required user in the program.
• Now click on the i icon.
• Next, scroll down and find the information you need in the list.

This method is effective if a person has registered contacts and has not hidden them with privacy settings.

From computer

This method is similar to the previous one, but manipulations should be carried out on a computer. You need:

• Log in to the person's account.
• Click on the inscription that provides personal information.
• In the list that appears, you need to find the column mentioning the phone.

This method makes it easier to find out the number of a friend you are communicating with, but have lost contact information for communication.

Yandex. People

If the person you are looking for has not indicated contacts in their profile, you should use the Yandex service. People. You need to specify the name of the required person in the search bar. After processing, the program will show you below people with names that match the request. The search will be carried out not only in VK, but also in various social networks. As a result, you will see a huge number of accounts. Finding the right person will be difficult.

We recognize a phone number by its Facebook, Instagram, Skype

You can use third-party social networks, this will also be effective. This will allow you to find the user who has hidden information in VK. Perhaps, for example, his contacts are visible on Instagram. The search can be done manually or using the methods listed above. But if the social network member you are looking for has hidden information about the number everywhere, you will not recognize it.

Find out the number from a photo from social media. networks

Another good way to use. You need:

• Save a photo of the desired person.
• In the search engine, use the search by photo.
• Use the results and move to other social networks.
• Check your contact details there.

The disadvantage of this method is that many of the found photographs or pictures may coincide. It may also turn out that a person has installed someone else’s photo in their profile.

Using a fake page

If you can’t achieve results using the methods listed above, cheat a little. Do the following:

• Create a fake profile.
• Write a notice to make people interested.
• Ask for his mobile number.

Don't think it's not legal, but it's a little unfair. You will need to be quite resourceful.
