The emergence of a new system

A year and a half ago, Vkontakte developers introduced a service that made it possible to subscribe to page updates of users of interest to you. This system has helped famous people get hundreds of thousands of subscribers. However, the system was far from perfect. On the one hand, the "Subscribe to updates" button was unclaimed in 99% of cases, and often only confused users who had just started using the social network. On the other hand, even in the case of celebrity pages, most of the network members continued to click on both links, just in case. Which, as you might guess, led to some confusion, which Vkontakte developers have begun to eliminate from today.

On all personal pages of Vkontakte, there was only one button left - "Add to friends". From now on, when sending a friend request, users will automatically subscribe to updates of the social network member they are interested in. If you wish to hide the fact of this subscription from other users, you can use the settings on the Privacy tab ("Who is visible in the list of my friends and requests").

At the time of publication of this news, the updated system for adding friends to Vkontakte is available only to some network members, and will become publicly available within a few days.

When the deployment of the updated system to all 150 million personal pages of VKontakte is completed, the developers planned to continue improving the Vkontakte Friends service. Network members who sent you a friend request will be ranked according to the number of friends you have in common. This approach will allow even the most popular personalities to quickly find among the crowd of their fans those with whom they know personally. In addition to all this, Vkontakte algorithms have learned to recommend pages of celebrities of interest to them, as well as top bloggers, to their users. This month, these algorithms will be activated.

You can be friends with users within the social network. If a person is on the list of friends, then you get access to view his page (see). This is if it was hidden from other users. Sometimes, they limit the ability to send messages to users with whom they are not friends (see).

Let's figure it out how to add to friends vkontakte.

How to add a person as a friend in VK?

Everything is very simple. It is enough to go to the page to the desired user, and under his profile picture, click on the button "Add as Friend"(cm. ).

The specified user will receive a notification that you want to befriend them. He can accept the application, reject it, or leave you as a subscriber (see).

After sending the application, you automatically subscribe to the page. You start receiving updates and appear in a special list.

By the way, you will also go to subscribers if the person first accepts your application and then removes it from friends (see).

If you change your mind, you can cancel your application. We go to the page to the user, click on the button "Application sent", and in the menu that appears, select the item "Cancel the application".

As you know, on the social network VKontakte, the user is endowed with quite large rights and he can do a lot with his page. For example, if he wants to, he can close messages from those users who are not his friends. The question arises - how then to write a message to this user?

The easiest way is to apply as a friend. The fact is that during the application you have the opportunity to add a message. Yes, you will be included in the list of subscribers to this person, but he will receive your message.

This is how it is done. Go to the page to the user and click on the "Add to friends" button.

You will see a small window to fill out. Write your message in it and click on the "Send" button.

The second option, if the first one does not suit you for some reason, is to write a message to a friend of this user who has a personal account open. You can write to him about your intentions, and this friend will already tell the user what you want from him. Yes, it's not the best option, but it's better than nothing.

The third option is to find groups or publics in which this user writes messages. In this case, you can ask him a question that interests you. Another thing is that the user in these communities does not unsubscribe.

How to write messages on VKontakte if you are on the black list?

If a user has brought you to, you will not have the opportunity not only to write to him, you will not even go to his page. Here's what you'll see:

The best way to contact him is through friends. Or personally, if you know the person.

It often happens that when you find a person you like on the VKontakte social network, you send him a friend request, but in response to your offer of friendship, the user leaves you as a subscriber. In this case, almost every owner of a personal profile feels discomfort, closely intertwined with the desire to delete the once sent friendship invitation.

Generally speaking, the whole process of deleting incoming and outgoing requests does not require you to perform any particularly complex actions. All you need is to follow the instructions.

The presented instructions are suitable for absolutely any social user. VKontakte network, regardless of any factors.

At their core, the actions aimed at deleting incoming friend requests are significantly different from those that need to be performed to clear the list of invitations outgoing from you. Thus, despite the use of the same part of the functionality, the recommendations require attention separately.

Delete incoming requests

Getting rid of incoming friend requests is a process that we have already discussed in a special article on deleting subscribers. That is, if you need to clear the list of incoming friendship invitations from users of the VK.com site, it is recommended to read this article.

Considering the steps to remove incoming requests in brief, please note that it is best to remove subscribers directly by temporarily blacklisting them and then removing the block.

If you are not satisfied with this method, you can use others by reading the related article mentioned above.

In order to forcibly withdraw someone else's application, more than 10 minutes must pass from the moment the user was blacklisted. Otherwise, the invitation will not go anywhere.

At this point, the process of getting rid of incoming requests can be considered complete.

Delete outgoing requests

When you need to get rid of requests that were once sent, the process of deleting them is much simpler when compared with the steps from the first half of the instructions. This is directly related to the fact that the VK interface has a corresponding button, by clicking on which you unsubscribe from the user who rejected your friendship invitation.

Note that in this case, if you come across a user who does not like to collect other people in his list of subscribers, then you yourself may find yourself in that person's emergency for a certain period of time.

One way or another, the problem of deleting outgoing applications has always been and will be relevant, especially among quite sociable and no less popular users of this social network.

Such a signature, as, in fact, the person himself, will disappear from this section of the social. network immediately after updating this page.

Please note that if you resend a friend invitation to a person removed from this list, he will not receive a notification. At the same time, you will still find yourself on his list of subscribers and can be friends at the request of the profile owner.

If you have removed a user from your subscribers by blacklisting with subsequent removal, or have done the same to you, upon re-application, a notification will be sent in accordance with the standard VKontakte notification system. This, in fact, is one of the main differences between the processes for deleting friendship invitations.

We wish you all the best!
