How to change important friends. How to remove a friend from important ones in VK (instruction)

I noticed that many people are interested in the question: how to remove a friend from the top positions of the Vkontakte friends list? Or a few friends, it doesn't matter.

  • Then you can immediately unlock it;

The effect is instant - a friend will immediately go down several positions. By the way, you will also become lower with him.

2. Activity with other friends.

The easiest way to remove a friend from the top position is to put another person on it.

To do this, communicate with another person and be as active as possible: put likes, repost entries, comment on photos.

Of course, this method is not the fastest, but effective.

3. Decreased interest through the "News" section.

Not less than effective method- Decreased interest in a friend.

To do this, go to the "News" section, click on the filter icon and hide the news of all users and communities, except for a specific friend:

  • Don't forget to save your changes;

Now refresh the page and in the upper right corner of the friend's entry, click on the button:

Next, just click on the button "Do not show news":

Everything, after these manipulations, the user must go down from the top position of the list of friends. Now you can undo actions on hiding the news of a friend. This is no longer necessary.

4. Decrease in interest through a friend's page.

A very good method is to temporarily hide a friend's news.

For this it should open page friend, under the profile picture, click on the "Actions" button and select the value:

  • The priority of a friend has decreased and you can show his news again;

All these 4 methods are working, but it is worth understanding that in order for changes to occur in the list of friends, at least few hours. Nothing happens right away.

By the way, these methods can also be applied to Vkontakte communities.

Instruction

Images from any photo album or news can be viewed in full screen mode. To do this, just click on one of the pictures and press Alt + Enter. And if you check the box in the lower left corner, a slideshow of all the photos in the album will start.

Can't find unread messages? This is easy to fix. We go to "My messages", select "Show as messages" and click on "unread". This will display a list of all unread messages.

Having trouble finding important news in the community or on a friend's wall? Use the standard search. Click on the top border of the wall (where the number of entries is indicated) and in the new menu, click on "Go to search" in the upper right corner. The search is carried out by news and comments.

Some users re-upload old avatars to make them the main ones. But it is not necessary to duplicate old photos. Just go to the album "Photos from my page" and drag the photo to the very end. After that, the photo will automatically become the main one.

If you want to attach a photo or video from VKontakte to the news, it is not necessary to download them or add them to your albums. Just copy the link and paste it into the news, the desired content will be attached automatically. By the way, pictures can also be attached from the Internet, it is also enough to insert a link into the text field, but a video from another resource (for example, youtube) cannot be attached in this way.

You can group friends using private lists. Go to your friends list and at the bottom of the right menu select "Create a list". These lists will be viewable only by you. They are intended to fine-tune the access rights of friends to your personal content.

Users with more than 100 followers can view the statistics of visits to their page. To do this, go to your profile and find the "Page Statistics" button in the lower left corner, under the albums.

Do not want to see a bunch of uninteresting content in your news? Go to "My news" and click on the "Show only interesting" button. Now you will see only the most important news, such as new photos of friends, and the news of most communities will no longer be shown.

By the way, you can also disable the display of reposts. To do this, go to "My News", select "List of sources", switch to "Blacklist" and uncheck "Show copies in News". Now you will stop seeing friends and communities.

The social network "VKontakte" is one of the most popular Internet projects throughout Russia and the post-Soviet countries. Every day, year after year, the resource is used by millions of users who visit vk.com to not only communicate with each other, but also to learn the news, listen to their favorite audio recordings, watch a movie or series, learn something interesting, and even outline where to go to update your wardrobe.

At the moment, everyone can add up to 10 thousand other "inhabitants" of the social network as friends, and, according to statistics, the average user of the resource has about 200-300 friends as friends. Nevertheless, looking through the list of your VKontakte friends, you can unexpectedly find out for yourself that they are located in a different order and can sometimes change places. Why is this happening and how is this entire list formed?

As it was before

Before answering the above question, I would like to recall how the list of VKontakte friends was formed several years earlier. A few years ago, people displayed in a user's friend lists were sorted by rating. Everything is clear here: the higher the user's page rating was, the higher he was displayed in the list of friends. A rating could be obtained by filling out information on your own page or by purchasing additional votes. Later, it was decided to abandon the rating, which greatly upset the users who bought a large number of votes and / or gave them to other "inhabitants" of the social network.

How is the list of friends formed now

Now the list of friends in the most popular social network is being formed otherwise: the first positions in the list are those users with whom you communicate most often. However, this sorting of the VK friends list may puzzle some users. For example, some wonder why a person with whom communication is extremely rare is so high on the list. The answer is simple - when forming the list, not only messages are taken into account, but also likes, page views, replies, comments on posts. It turns out that not only the user with whom you do not communicate so much can become the first in your list of friends.

However, there is one small exception to this rule: users whom you recently added to your list of friends are usually located in 5th or 6th place in the list so that, according to the developers of the social network, you do not lose sight of them.

The order of the friends who are on the site

Now it is worth mentioning how users are sorted from the online friends list. Here, by and large, exactly the same principle: the location of friends converges with the one in the general sequence, although only those users who are online are shown. If you use the "Colleagues" options, " Best friends” and the like, then the distribution of the lists of friends in them will also be similar.

How is the list of friends of other users

If the situation with the location of our own friends is already more or less clear, then what about the friends of other users that we see from our own page? Everything is a little different here: the distribution of friends here is based on the number of mutual acquaintances with the person whose page you are viewing. In the event that you do not have mutual friends, the list of friends is formed according to the date of registration of users on the site.

Can the order be changed?

After everything has already become clear about sorting VKontakte friends, we can talk about whether this order can be changed. Unfortunately, the developers of the social network did not provide for this function, so you cannot change the order of friends on your own.

If you want someone close to you to always be at the top of your friends list, try to communicate with him more. Otherwise, keep communication to a minimum. However, do not forget that no social networks can replace real communication with friends and people close to you!

If you open the list of your VKontakte friends for viewing, then some will be higher in the list, others lower. What does it depend on? Top positions are important friends. In this manual, I will tell you how this list is formed.

Open VK and go to the "Friends" section.

There are two main criteria that affect which of the users gets to the top lines.

  • Correspondence activity;
  • have been recently added.

With the first option, everything is clear. The more often you communicate with a person, the more important it is considered within the contact.

The second option reminds you to chat with new friends (see). When you add a person, for a while he gets into the list of important friends. But over time, if there is no activity, it will drop to the bottom of the list.

What about the list of friends?

There is an assumption that it is formed randomly. Although when I tried to view my friend's list of friends, it was unchanged after several page updates (see).

Friends online

Here, the list is formed in exactly the same way - by the number of messages (see), or the date the application was accepted as a friend. The only difference with the first option is that people who are currently on Vkontakte are displayed.

Mobile app

Go to your Vkontakte page through the application (see). Go to the "Friends" section. Here the list is called "Important". The principle of its formation is the same as in full version(cm. ).

By clicking on the Friends section in our VK profile, we are used to seeing colleagues, relatives, classmates, friends from the Internet, etc. there. There are dozens, hundreds, thousands of them. And the order in which they are located is not always the same. It changes regularly without direct user intervention. And at the top there are always those people whose pages you visit and in relation to whom you are active. They are called important.

Today we will try to figure out how to compile this list, try to customize it for ourselves and identify important friends on someone else's page.

There is no clear algorithm for forming a friend list. It all depends on the activity of the user himself, and this means different consequences. Among the factors are the following:

  • correspondence and visiting a friend's page. Those pages that you visit most often and with whom you communicate a lot are in the top places;
  • date of adding to friends. Recently added pages are higher, one is always in the top five;
  • the number of friends adjacent to you;
  • page loading activity. Abandoned, long-deleted, empty are more often displayed below the rest.

It is impossible to change the location of friends in the friend list according to a clear plan. It will be determined automatically, but with your visits, likes, reposts and correspondence, you promote the people you need to the top.

If you want to lower a friend in the list of friends, do not perform any actions with his profile for a while, do not write or go to the page.

The only way to organize the right people according to your preference is to create a separate list of friends. For this you need:

You can always add a new person there, but you also cannot promote or demote him in the general order. Although there will be no problems with the location, since you can always make a new list, which will include your chosen top people.

How to see important friends from a friend

There is no way to see from your page the friend list of another user through his eyes. That is, for you, the issue will still be different. You won’t be able to find out the order for a friend through the interface of the VK website, as well as using third-party programs. Of course, if you hack a person's page, then friends will be displayed in his order, but we will not consider this option.

If you go to a friend's page and open the list of his friends, they will be sorted for you from top to bottom in the following order:

  1. Your profile is first on the list.
  2. People who have mutual friends with you (the more, the higher in the list).
  3. Sort by registration date and page rating.

Mutual friends are on a separate list. If a friend has created his own, you will see him too.

Important friends on the phone

Everything described applies not only to the web version of the VK website for a personal computer, but also to official mobile applications for iPhone, Android.
