Hello friends!
In today's article I will talk about the settings of the VKontakte group. Where to find them and what needs to be indicated in them in order to more effectively advance in VK. In general, the information will definitely be useful, so read below.
What are the settings for and where are they located
Initially, when you create communities, you immediately get into the settings of the VKontakte group and there you need to set all the necessary data. In addition, usually the group settings are constantly changing depending on the tasks, and I will tell you where to find them later.
In the screenshot below, I showed where you can get into your community settings, namely by clicking the “Community Management” button under your community avatar (in the case of a public page, there will be an inscription “Page Management”.
Basic settings of the VKontakte community
Let's go through the basic settings of the VKontakte community.
Other community settings
Now let's look at other tabs. Members tab. Here you can see who is in your community, and if necessary, remove someone from the community.
In principle, these are the main settings for the VKontakte community. You can easily deal with them yourself, but if suddenly you don’t work in social networks at all and you need promotion, then you can safely contact us.
I provide consultations and also help promote VKontakte communities.
I hope that this article was useful for you and you share the link with it in social networks. Also, do not forget to subscribe to blog updates to keep abreast of all events.
That's all for now, everyone!
Today we will talk about the basics. We will tell you how to set up the privacy of your page in Contact in the most effective way for you. In general, it is worth noting that privacy settings are exactly what you should start with immediately after registering on the VK social network. Read about how to master this part of the functionality right now!
And now let's deal with everything in order. The very first line is responsible for who sees the basic information of your page. Choose the item that suits you. In this column, just like in all subsequent ones, you can choose the following options:
- All users;
- Only your friends;
- Your friends, as well as friends of your friends;
- Only you;
- Everything except... (from the list you can choose the "lucky ones" who will not see this);
- Some friends (exactly the same list, only in reverse);
- Some lists of friends (before choosing this item, make sure that you have created the necessary lists and sorted friends in them in Contact).
Detailed setting
When done with the first line of VKontakte privacy settings, move on to the next one. You can choose who sees where other VKontakte users tagged you. That is, not those that are in your albums (each album should be configured separately in general), but those that are in the albums of your friends. Privacy settings in the social network VKontakte are currently implemented in this way.It's the same with videos. Everything is clear here. The third line of VKontakte privacy settings is responsible for who can see the list of groups in which you are a member. Publics are already visible to everyone, but groups can be hidden. This is especially true if you are a member of communities, let's say, of an erotic nature.
Here you can hide or open your audio recordings, gifts and much more for prying eyes. The second block of settings, as we have already said, is responsible for the entries on your page. Open comments by strangers or close - it's up to you. Go through all the points in the same way. Fortunately, in the privacy settings of VK everything is in Russian, so there should not be any problems or misunderstandings.
Now you know exactly how to set up privacy in the social network VKontakte. When you do everything, double-check and you can safely return to your page. The fact is that the changes are saved automatically, so you don't have to worry about the fact that you leave, forgetting to save, and the changes will be reset. Everything is thought out here!

Hello, friends!
VK settings will help you make working and communicating on a social network easier and more enjoyable for you and your subscribers.
Why do I think that it is necessary to responsibly approach the issue of filling out the profile of the VKontakte page? And why set it up at all?
For example, if you get a job or you are a freelancer, your potential employers will evaluate your adequacy, including through personal pages on social networks.
Let's deal with the settings in VK and find out where to find them and how to configure various settings, how to change the privacy settings on your page. The network developers tried to make the design as clear as possible and exclude any hidden settings.
In order for network users to uniquely identify you, let's start filling out our profile by setting a photo. She will serve as a kind of avatar. To do this, after entering the page, click on the field “Put a photo”.
Then click the "Choose File" button.
Choose the photo you want to use for your page.
You can also select an area and it will be shown on the page if you don't like the whole photo.
This completes the installation of the avatar.
Personal information
In previous versions of VKontakte, the “My Settings” item disappeared from its usual place.
Now, in order to enter these VK settings, you need to click on the field with your name, photo (if you previously installed it) and the down arrow in the upper right corner of the open page.
In the drop-down menu, you select the “Edit” item and you get access to sub-items that you can fill in and change if necessary.
You can also change information about yourself by clicking on the “Edit” button located under the main photo or by opening detailed information and moving the cursor to the block of interest, where the correction function will appear.
Main
The “Interests” item allows you to tell about your preferences: from your favorite music, books, quotes, games to activities in public organizations.
Education
Everything is very clear and clear here - you need to indicate the country, city, educational institution where you received your education. There are two tabs: with secondary and higher education.
The paragraph resembles a work book. Place of work, start year, end year, country, city.
Military service
Persons liable for military service may indicate the country, unit and years of service.
Life position
The final settings item suggests specifying additional information about the account owner:
- attitude towards smoking, alcohol;
- political and religious views;
- What do you think is most important in people and life.
VK page settings
In order to configure the parameters of the VK page, you must also click on the field with your name, photo and down arrow in the upper right corner.
In the drop-down menu, we select the “Settings” item. It can be immediately noted that the section contains a sufficient number of options so that each user can adapt the page settings for themselves. Advanced VK settings allow everyone to make their social network account comfortable and safe.
General
Here you can make changes to the display of menu items on the left. However, some of them, such as “My Page”, “News”, “Messages” and “Friends”, you cannot change.
The page is customizable in terms of showing and commenting on posts, autoplaying videos and GIFs, hiding the gift box and tagging friends on photos.
The "Accessibility" item is designed for people with disabilities who use a speech synthesizer for some account controls.
An interesting option is to change the short address of the page from digital to more convenient and memorable.
Safety
The option has an archive of activities in its arsenal and protects the page from hacking using an SMS code, a mobile application for generating codes, or a pre-printed list.
privacy
Allows you to increase the confidentiality of posted data, limit the circle of people who can find out information about you (list of friends, photos, list of groups, addresses, gifts, etc.) Since the section is important, let's consider it in more detail.
Privacy contains subsections:
- my page,
- page entries,
- connection with me
- other.
By default, VKontakte sets general access settings when all users see information, photos, groups, etc. However, at your discretion, you can restrict access by clicking on the “All users” line and selecting the parameter you need from the drop-down list. For example - “Only friends”, “Only me”, “Everything except ...”, etc.
The remaining subsections are configured in the same way.
At the very end of the “Other” section, you can see what your account will look like for a third-party user after all the privacy settings you have made.
Alerts
The section regulates notifications on the site, feedback, events. You can choose options that are important to you or turn off notifications altogether.
By clicking on the word "All" you can choose: "Disabled", "All" or leave "Only important".
Also here you can configure notifications to your phone, which will be sent via SMS notifications or email.
In addition to selecting the “Alerts” item in the settings menu, there is another way to quickly get to the alert settings. We click on the bell image on the horizontal bar at the top of the site, where all notifications are now displayed. Under the bell is written - "Notifications", and to the right - "Settings".
Black list
A section where you form a list of people with whom you would not like to communicate. Those who are on this list will not be able to message you, comment, or view your page.
Choose who you want to block.
Application settings
Everything is simple here - the sites and applications you connected are displayed, but be careful, since each application has access to both your general (name, date of birth, etc.) and personal information.
Mobile Services
This option allows you to receive, reply to private messages and post posts on your wall via SMS. The service is paid. The tariffs of the main operators are given: Megafon, MTS, Tele2.
Payments and transfers
A section that allows you to connect additional paid features of VKontakte for conventional units - votes. This is an analogue of electronic money. On them you can buy a gift, stickers or buy something in the game. To use, you must accept the terms of the license agreement. Refunds are not possible.
Conclusion
Now you know where the VK settings are and where to find the right section to make the necessary changes.
To continue the topic, I suggest you read articles about community settings and the correct one.
Good afternoon friends. In a previous post, we learned how to do it right. In this lesson, before we begin to actively use the social network, we will devote a little more time to the technical aspects. In this article, you will learn how to correctly set the settings for the VKontakte page.
So, what do these same VKontakte settings imply? Here we will learn how, if necessary, change your page credentials: password, email, phone number and so on. We'll talk about how to set up security and privacy settings, how to set up alerts, and how to blacklist users. It is recommended to perform all these steps immediately after and before you start actively using Vkontakte.
Another interesting feature - change the address of the page "VKontakte". By default, the address looks like: domain/user id. “VK” allows you to replace it with a name consisting of Latin letters, numbers and signs “_”. To do this, you need to click “Change” and in the window replace id with the word that you like more. I changed my ID to the words “sergey_vkazi”. Don't forget to click the blue "Get address" button. This action must be confirmed - you will receive a code in an SMS message, which will need to be entered in the field. After that, the address of my page took the following form: https://vk.com/sergey_vkazi
Yes, by the way, do not forget about the tooltips. They are great help if you don't know or forgot something. You just have to hover over a particular item, and then a hint appears.
Security page "VKontakte"
The next section is security of your VK page. Let's talk a little about how to improve the protection of your page.
Here you can set up login confirmation. Then, each time you enter the page, you will have to enter the code received by SMS. Not very convenient, but very reliable protection against hacking and all sorts of dirty tricks. If you click the "Connect" button, the following window will open.
Here you need to carefully read the conditions. If you enable this service, the password recovery service by phone number will become unavailable. Therefore, it is recommended here to link the page to the current email address and indicate the true data. If you have not yet linked your page to an email address, then do it in the “General” section. There you will have to enter the password again and then confirm the action by clicking on the link in the letter that will be sent to the associated email address.
So, we want to improve the protection of the VK page. After linking it to an electronic mailbox, press the button “Proceed to setup” (see screenshot above), press the button “Get code” in the window that opens, and enter it in the input field. After we receive a message from the administration that additional protection has been successfully connected and we will see the following window:
That's it, click the "Finish setup" button. In the next window, click “Show List” of backup codes, and copy the backup codes somewhere. They are needed to enter if you do not have a mobile phone at hand. Never show or share backup codes with anyone!
If you suddenly decide to cancel login confirmation, then you should click the “Disable login confirmation” button, enter the password in the window that opens and confirm the action.
In conclusion of the conversation about the settings in this section, let's talk about the window "Safety". Here you can see the latest activity (for example, I can see that the last activity was “ just now (Russia, Chrome Browser)“. If you click on “Show activity history”, you can see from which browser, from which country and when it was carried out. If you suddenly see a suspicious browser or that the login was made, for example, from America, you should immediately sound the alarm,. Most likely you just got hacked.
Setting privacy "VKontakte"
Here we can set up privacy on VKontakte. In simple terms, this section indicates who can see the basic information of your page, the list of groups and who is visible in the list of friends and subscriptions, etc. In total, the section has four subsections: “My Page”, “Posts on the Page”, “Contact Me” and “Other”. In general, everything is quite simple. Opposite each item there is a drop-down list where you can choose who, for example, will see this or that information on your page. If you select "Everyone except ..." and "Some friends" in the drop-down list, you will have to select from the list of "favorite" friends that you allow (or do not allow) to view your data.
At the very beginning, you can leave everything as it is. When you get used to VK a little, make best friends and, perhaps, ill-wishers, you can adjust your privacy settings at any time - allow or forbid someone something.
At the end of the page privacy settings, I would like to say about the “See how other users see your page” function. It is located at the very bottom of the section. If you enable this feature, you can look at your page through the eyes of any user you choose from your friends list (if the user is not in your friends list, then enter a link to that person's page in the list field)
Setting alerts "VKontakte"
We continue to consider the settings of the VKontakte page. The next section is Vkontakte alerts. There are only four subsections, the first of them is “Alerts on the site”. Here (and in the following subsections) all alerts are enabled by default ('All' is selected). There is nothing complicated in the notification settings. You can see them yourself, and if anything, turn off unnecessary alerts. Many, as a rule, have all notifications turned on so that the user can be aware of any actions and changes.
The last two subsections are setting up notifications via SMS and email. If you want all notifications to come to you via SMS, you just need to check the box “receive SMS notifications” and click the “Save” button. If you want to receive notifications by email, select the “Always notify” item in the drop-down list.
Well, friends, we have reviewed the basic settings of your VKontakte page. The remaining four sections - ““, Setting up applications”, “Mobile services” and “Payments and transfers”, we will consider in more detail in the following articles when we study the relevant sections. For now, that's all we have for today. We set up our profile and filled in the basic information about ourselves. In the following articles, we will learn how to perform basic actions - add friends, etc.
See you soon on my blog pages. 🙂
