We often receive complaints from VK users. One of the most common is incorrect display of the time when messages were sent.
Why does this happen and how to solve this problem?
Incorrect time on the VK social network is displayed in the field for sending and publishing messages; in addition, sometimes the time the user goes offline is also displayed incorrectly
Next, we’ll try to figure out the causes of the glitch over time and find a method to eliminate it.
How to delete or hide your date of birth
Go to your page and click the “Edit” button located under the avatar (see).
Here we find the block “Date of Birth”. In the input fields, please provide current information.
There is a drop-down menu just below. The following options are available there:
- Show date of birth
- Show only month and day
- Don't show date of birth
If you do not want other users to see this information, select the latter option.
In case you want to hide your age, select "Show month and day only". This way, your birth year will not be shown and you will hide your real age (see).
What to do if you have problems with date and time settings
There are several problems that almost every user faces sooner or later.
The "Automatic" function does not work
There are two reasons for this:
- The device does not have stable Internet access. Connect to mobile Internet or Wi-Fi network for the function to work.
- This feature may not work in some regions. If you live in an unsupported region, your only option is to change your location.
Also, if you have just activated the function, then in some cases it is worth restarting the device, and only after that the time will begin to update automatically.
Automatic translation is not working properly
This problem can arise for two reasons:
- The time zone settings are incorrect. Go to the date and time settings section and change the selected time zone.
- The time zone in which you live has switched from winter to summer time or vice versa.
The time does not match the time in the applications
This can happen due to an incorrectly selected time zone. Change it so that the time on the device and in the applications match.
Data keeps getting lost
Try disabling or, conversely, enabling the “Automatic” function in the date and time settings. If this does not help, then the reason is as follows:
- The device is synchronizing with some service or the computer has incorrect settings.
- The device is broken, it must be taken to a service center to get help from qualified specialists, or the settings must be reset to factory settings.
It’s very easy to set your own date and time settings or enable their automatic updating on any iPhone model; just go to the device settings and go to the appropriate section. If you have any problems and the methods described above do not help, contact Apple service or support. And remember that Apple really doesn’t like changing the time settings to receive a bonus in games, so don’t abuse it.
The Apple iPhone, like any mobile phone, has a clock. In order to find out what time it is, just press once in lock mode and the time and date will appear on the screen. If the phone is unlocked, the clock is located at the top of the screen, in the center of the sidebar, the day of the month and day of the week are displayed on the standard Calendar application icon. Today we will learn how to set the time on iPhone
and change the date.
When trying to change the time on iPhone, many novice users launch the standard Clock application. But you won't be able to set the time on your iPhone in the Clock app. You can set the time and date in “Settings”.
1. Go to the “Settings” application and select the “General” section 2. In “General” select “Date and time”
3. As soon as the “Date and Time” section opens, we will see all the necessary settings, here you can select our 24-hour time format, set automatic transition to summer or winter time (we recommend disabling the automatic transition, due to the occasional problem). Set your time zone and go to the “Set date and time” section 4. In the date and time settings, tap on the date, then at the bottom select the day, month and year, by clicking on the time, set the time that will be the main one in the iPhone.
All novice users of Apple technology make the same mistake: when they want to change the time and date, they go to the Clock
” and begin to explore it for a suitable section.
Finding ways to set the time through this program will not bear fruit - without visiting the “
Settings ” of the device, such adjustments cannot be made
.
To change the date and set the time on your iPhone, follow these instructions:
Step 1
.
Open “ Settings
” and go to the “
General
” section.
You will see a screen like this:
Step 3
. Set the time format to 24-hour or 12-hour. Americans are more accustomed to the second option: they count 12 hours before noon and 12 after it. Therefore, the 12-hour format is the default. If a Russian wants to switch to a more familiar 24-hour time format, he needs to switch the corresponding toggle switch.
Step 4
.
Deactivate the "
Automatic
"
.
If you enable this option, the iPhone will independently select the time zone and determine the date/time, based on the data it receives through geolocation and from the Internet. There are a number of reasons not to use this option:
- Time may change spontaneously on days when most countries switch from summer to winter (or vice versa). What does this mean? At the very least, being late for work.
- Time is determined incorrectly when an iPhone owner travels across multiple time zones. This is due to the fact that the SIM card constantly loses signal and cannot provide the device with location data.
- The option requires the inclusion of geolocation services, which in turn leads to rapid energy consumption.
Step 5
. Select your time zone - click on the appropriate field.
Then enter “ Russia”
» and select the city in which you live or which corresponds to your time zone.
We select the option “ Moscow, Russia
” and set Moscow time (
UTC +3
).
Step 5
. Click on the line in which the date and time are written in blue, and manually set the necessary parameters by scrolling through the peculiar reels. You can find out the exact time for any city, for example, using the Yandex service.
There is no drum that would be responsible for setting the year. Therefore, if you want to move the date back or forward several years, you will have to try.
After that, continue to use the gadget and don’t worry about the time being lost.

Is it possible to hide the date and time when you logged into VK?
Could it be that a person hid the date and time of his visit to VKontakte, and then how can one find out when he visited? How to hide my time when I logged into VK? In fact, the time when you were last online (online) cannot be hidden. If someone told you that you can do this and continue using the site as usual, then he is simply lying. There is no such official possibility. Until April 2021, it was possible to remain invisible in some applications, then this option was removed completely. All that remains is (read more below).
The last login time disappears on its own if you haven’t logged in for a long time (more than three months). It is believed that after this time it no longer matters when exactly the person was online - it was too long ago. That’s why you don’t see this time for some people: they simply haven’t been online for a long time, and the date (time) of their visit has disappeared. They themselves did not hide anything. But the time will appear again the next time the person comes in. Or maybe the person could not restore access and has not used the old page for a long time, having opened a new page instead.
How to use VK offline? The VKontakte administration reports that they have never made it possible to hide online status. You can only remain invisible through , if you just monitor what is happening in your VK (are there new messages, likes, who is online, and the like). As soon as you go to the VKontakte website, you will appear on the network again, and your friends will be able to see it on your page. However, for many this is enough. Try it, it's convenient and safe.
Invisibility in mobile applications like Kate Online and similar no longer works. In addition, among such applications there are many fraudulent ones that do nothing and simply steal your passwords. So be careful. The most reliable login method is , which has been around for many years and has almost two million users worldwide.
There is another auxiliary way to hide the time of the last login to VK - you can log in, do something, and delete your page before leaving. It is not permanently deleted immediately, so you can restore it the next time you log in. But it is not recommended to do this constantly, because you risk losing access. And of course, people who look at your page will see that it has been deleted.
