In the modern technological world, more and more popular sites on the Internet are making sure that visitors feel comfortable surfing from any device, be it a smartphone, tablet, TV or a regular personal computer. It is for this reason that adaptive, mobile versions of websites are created. VKontakte is no exception in this matter. In connection with the above, we consider it relevant to consider the mobile version of VKontakte, highlight the advantages or disadvantages, and study the functionality.
But before starting this review, you should know how to log into the mobile version of VK. Everything is done extremely simply.
- Open an internet browser on your device.
- Enter the website address as usual: “vk.com”.
- Now add the letter m in front of it so that it looks like this: “m.vk.com”.
- Log in to the mobile version of Vkontakte.
It is this addition in the form of one letter that will mean the mobile version of the site. You will see that mobile VK is much simpler and more concise than the full, standard version of the site. However, this does not mean that it is somehow greatly reduced or lacks functionality. All sections are present (see top slide). Of course, some features are missing, such as editing the appearance of groups. It will be difficult to make a header in a VK group from your phone. A recent post discussed this issue in detail. If interested, follow the link just above. There are still many different functions that do not function fully, but the main ones work like clockwork. You will also be able to like, chat, make new acquaintances, view friends’ profiles, photos, and watch interesting videos online. By the way, about friends. Our PR studio performs a high-quality increase in the number of friends in your profile.

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.

The official client is available for devices running Windows 10. The latest version of the application can be downloaded for free from the Windows Store.
At the moment, the application has a fairly low rating - only 2 stars. The fact is that after the ban on listening to music, many users began to give the official client ones and twos as a protest.
Application features on PC
The VKontakte social platform has a lot of features that have made it very famous. However, to use them, you will need to register. This procedure does not take much time and will be done in just a couple of clicks.
Good to know!
Not long ago, any registration methods other than using a mobile phone were excluded. This decision was made in connection with the emergence of a large number of empty accounts that are used only as a way to “wind up” likes and comments.
By registering, the user has all the wide functionality of the VK application on his PC at his disposal and will finally be able to use it. The web service interface is a page on which all data is displayed, as well as a drop-down menu on the left side of the screen, with which you can navigate to other sections. The tabs display items for going to the feed, friends, chats, games, groups, and so on.
When setting up your profile, you can provide your personal information. For example, school, university, city of residence, year of birth, interests and outlook on life. You can do this if you want to make it easier for classmates or acquaintances to find you.
The news feed, with regular updates, displays all the posts that were posted by communities or friends that interest you. Thanks to new filters, you can show only the most interesting posts.
You can post photos and videos on your page. Moreover, you are also allowed to repost from groups and pages of friends and acquaintances. In the special photo albums tab, you can create them and configure the level of access to them. Also, the entire page can be hidden from the eyes of unauthorized users.
Music and video work in a similar way. There are two different menus, access to which can also be limited by privacy settings. There is a lot of music on the Internet. You can even download it yourself from your computer and add to the general database.
It's the same with videos. However, there is the possibility of broadcasting in real time. You can play games on them, chat with friends, sing songs and do whatever you want, while at the same time communicating in a special chat with those who are watching you.
The user has access to a large number of settings, including many items. Here you can configure the language, security and privacy settings, protect your account, add other users to the blacklist and make payments.
You will also be able to use advertising, transfer votes and funds, and save documents. All of them are permanently stored in the cloud.
If you decide to install VKontakte on your computer, then remember that there is very serious moderation, so you need to follow some rules. For example, you cannot combine letters of the Latin alphabet and Cyrillic alphabet in your name. The administration recommends, but does not insist, that you indicate only real names. For the first time, you can specify anything. However, then, any change of name will be accompanied by lengthy moderation and will most likely end in refusal if it turns out that the rules do not comply. If you lose your password, you can restore access to your account, but you will have to go through authentication. It is better to limit access to the social network to children under 16 years of age.
How to log into VK without a password
