On social networks, we communicate with people whom we have not seen for a long time, or with those with whom it is impossible to meet in reality. And VKontakte, Odnoklassniki and other networks are full of various information, and often among the many posts there are a lot of useful things. And business today “went” to the Internet, many open online stores in social networks and place advertisements. But not all of us use unlimited Internet, and in order to save traffic, there is a mobile version of VK, the entrance through a computer to which is simple and accessible to every user, which will be discussed in this article.
VKontakte mobile version
In addition to saving traffic, the light version of the site helps to "unload" the work of a PC with weak characteristics. To access the mobile version of VK via a PC, you just need to type the address in the format https://m.vk.com/, and not https://vk.com/. A simplified (in comparison with the full computer version) interface appears before us. There are required fields for entering a phone number or e-mail used as a login and password. No extra information, no pictures.
Credential fields
We enter your credentials and get to the main page. Here we see the site as it is displayed on a tablet or other mobile device. All functions are available, the page loads very quickly, navigation is convenient.
In the mobile version of VK through a computer, you can:
- correspond with friends;
- view videos;
- get acquainted with new comments and replies in the "Notifications" section;
- read information in groups;
- listen to music and more.
To the disappointment of gamers, the smartphone version does not launch games and applications. The way out is to use the full version of the site for this. There is no need to open a new tab and re-enter the address, just click on the "Full version" button at the very bottom of the column with section names, which is located on the left of the page.
But this is not the only way to access the mobile version of VK through a computer.
Login to the mobile version of VK on a computer via Google Chrome
If the user prefers the Google Chrome browser to work on the Internet and wants to view VK in the mobile version, then developer tools can be used. They are opened in the following ways:
- with the F12 key;
- by pressing Ctrl + Shift + I;
- by entering the menu (three vertical dots in the upper right corner of the site), then “Additional tools” and “Developer tools”.
Then you need to simultaneously press Ctrl + Shift + M or click on the Toggle device toolbar icon.
Opening the Toggle device toolbar
As a result of these actions, the page will be displayed exactly like on the screen of a mobile device. Even if before that we used the full version of the site, we will be automatically transferred to the mobile one.
Displaying the page as on the phone screen
If we want to get an exact copy of the screen of our tablet, iPhone, smartphone, iPad, etc., then above the display of the mobile version of VKontakte there is a menu where you can choose a familiar gadget and customize the page to suit your preferences.
Choosing a gadget
Now we will select the screen of the gadget, in which we are most satisfied with the display of the mobile version of VK. We look at the top panel above the site page. In our case, the Galaxy S5 is selected. If we prefer another device, then click on the arrow next to the name of the gadget and click on the desired model in the drop-down list.
Choosing a gadget
Isn't that enough? At the bottom of the list there is an Edit button that, when clicked, opens a list of different mobile devices. We put a checkmark in front of the models of smartphones, iPhones, tablets we need, than we add them to the main list for subsequent selection.
Setting the page scale and other values
After the names of the gadgets and the parameters of the screen resolution, we see zoom - the scale is set within the range of 50-150% (after clicking on the arrow next to the set value). In the next tab, the VK mobile page can be disconnected from the Internet (offline mode) and reconnected (online). And finally, by clicking on the rotation icon, we rotate the open site window as it is convenient for us - to a vertical or horizontal position.
Controlling the display area
The cursor in the mobile version of VK is a small gray circle. This size is quite enough in order to accurately select the desired partitions. The page is scrolled either with the mouse wheel, or by grabbing and moving LMB. Do not close the panel with developer tools, since the screen of the selected mobile device will disappear with it.
The same method of displaying the mobile version of VK on a computer can be used in Yandex Browser. There is only one difference - in calling the developer tools from the main menu. You need to go into it (three horizontal stripes in the upper right corner of the page), then “Advanced” → ”Additional tools” → ”Developer tools”. The F12 key and the Ctrl + Shift + I keyboard shortcut work the same as in Google Chrome.
Thus, you can enter the mobile version of VK not only from a familiar gadget, but also through a computer.
As we have already assured more than once, VKontakte is the most visited Russian-speaking social network. Moreover, it is the second site in terms of the number of visits by Internet users in Russia after the Yandex search engine. In order to ensure that most of the audience of the social network always remained in touch, a mobile version of the project was invented.
What are the main differences between the mobile version? First, it is very user-friendly. Secondly, it has a lot of all kinds of functions, including uploading photos or, say, adding statuses. Thirdly, the page can be managed from a wide variety of phones, regardless of the operating system. Fourth, it saves you internet traffic. Finally, you are always online and do not miss a single message sent to you by your friends.
The mobile version is located at http://m.vk.com. Interestingly, you can use it not only with your cell phone, but also directly from your computer. At the same time, not news is currently being opened, as you might think, but the menu. Interestingly, when you go to your friends list, you can find their cell phone numbers. This information is open and is taken from the user's profile (that is, we are talking about the data that the person has left in the public domain). If we talk about the rest of the menu, then there is no significant difference between the mobile and regular versions.
By the way, several years ago there were several versions of VKontakte for mobile technology. So, if you used a PDA or a smartphone, then you had to go to the link pda.vkontakte.ru, and if we were talking about the most ordinary mobile phone, then the address was different - m.vkontakte.ru. After a while, both versions were combined together at m.vk.com.
A huge plus of the mobile version is also that some mobile operators provide access to the project for free, that is, you do not pay for the Internet connection at all. However, in our time, when 50 MB of traffic per day costs only 3 rubles, this is not a problem.
Special applications have been created for the two most popular mobile operating systems.
VKontakte for Android(Google Play link). The program is distributed through the Google Play store. What is its advantage? First of all, it is the smallest and most convenient Android OS client for the VKontakte social network. Secondly, it is very easy to start using it - download the application to your smartphone, open it and enter the data from your account, you do not need to do any more actions. Thirdly, the application is optimized as much as possible in order to consume the least amount of Internet traffic.
Besides the fact that VKontakte for Android has a standard set of functions, you can find something new for yourself. For example, there are sound notifications, automatic page refresh, auto disconnect from the network and a lot of useful "chips" that will surely surprise and delight you. In short, if you have a phone based on the Android system, use this application.
VK App for iOS(App Store link). If you are using an iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch, then an official application has been created especially for you that supports the full functionality of VKontakte. What are its advantages? So, this is the fastest social networking app for iOS. It works great not only on the latest generation phones, but even on the iPhone 2G, which by modern standards is not endowed with high power and fast performance. VK App has such features as convenient folders for friends, bookmarks, emoticons, photo review and so on. The application uses the screen of your phone to the maximum - so, all photos and images are displayed in the full width of the screen, if it is, of course, possible. Finally, the program works over the secure https protocol, so no one can intercept your data.
Both applications are distributed exclusively free of charge. Be sure to download them to your smartphone and use them to your health. Well, if you have a regular phone, then use the mobile version located at http://m.vk.com.

You need to click on the address bar, remove the letter m and the period at the beginning, and then press Enter on the keyboard (or the Go, Open in the browser itself).
Why do we need a full version of VK, why is it better than a mobile one?
Only in the full version are all the features of the site available that are not available in the mobile version and in applications for the phone. For example, making a request to support agents. In addition, in the full version there are no restrictions on restoring access to the page and, in general, there are much fewer problems with this - in particular, with attaching photos and entering a confirmation code. It also makes it easier to understand the reasons for blocking the page and unblock it. Therefore, for such cases, we recommend that you always use the full version of the VKontakte website.
Why is the mobile version opening?
This is usually due to the fact that someone posted a link like m.vk.com ...- this letter "m" at the beginning of the link leads you to the mobile version. It's just that that person was using his mobile phone and copied such a link from himself. When other people click on it, they go to their mobile. It's okay, because now you know how to enter the full version of VKontakte!

VK: Mobile version
If there is no smartphone or tablet at hand from which the user visits the social network Vkontakte every day, then a laptop or a regular computer will come to the rescue.

What is the difference between the mobile version of Vkontakte and the full version
For an ad-hoc comparison, log into the regular version -. And in another tab, open the mobile version of VK. There are very few differences between the full and mobile versions of VK, but there are some advantages that should be taken into account:
- The mobile version has a more compact interface;
- The font is larger, so all menu items are visible very well;
- Lack of embedded ads in the site interface;
- Fast loading of the social network, since there are almost no unnecessary elements.
- The functions of the mobile version are by no means curtailed.
- The window adjusts to any resolution - if we start reducing the browser window with the mobile version of VK, then there will be no horizontal scroll bar, and all elements will be adjusted to the specified window size.
On desktop Vkontakte, these signs are completely different, with the exception of the functionality, of course. If you go to the full version, targeted advertising will be shown among the sections on the left, which is not disabled even with the help of a blocker.
The font is much smaller, although this problem is solved by increasing the scale of the browser window.
For comparison, the font sizes in the mobile and full version of VK:
Font in regular version
Font in mobile version on PC
As for loading the site, there are more elements in the full version, as well as more code. Various scripts take a particularly long time to load. If there is little traffic and the Internet is not very fast, it is preferable to use the mobile version from both a smartphone and a PC.
Vkontakte mobile version interface
Consider the main sections that are in the mobile version of the VK social network. These sections are also available in the desktop edition. Only the arrangement of functions changes.
VK mobile version settings
If you go into the settings, then, as in the full version, there are the following sections, arranged compactly and minimalistically:
Account- contains parameters that allow:
In the full version, there are many more options in the security section.
Privacy- here are the main parameters where you can configure:
- visibility of basic profile information;
- visibility of photos for users;
- the visibility of the saved photos;
- display of groups;
- displaying a list of audio recordings;
- displaying a list of gifts;
- hiding friends;
- the visibility of the notes on the wall;
- interaction with other users;
- page visibility on the Internet
The next section is Alerts... Here you can configure notifications about actions that are performed in relation to your page, for example, when someone ticks the "Like" mark, a dark window will appear, where it will be shown that they have liked. These parameters can be configured as the user wants.
Black list- people with whom the user no longer wants to communicate are added here.
Money transfers- using the VK service, you can send funds to other people, and this section will display the transactions carried out.
What are the Vkontakte applications for mobile phones
On the Internet, you can find a lot of different applications for Android and iOS devices. Of course, it is worth installing software that has earned the trust of users, and not downloading applications from dubious sources.
The best option is official Vkontakte application... This client is available on both Android and iOS. The presence of Material Design makes the interface very nice to look at. The official client is very convenient to work with, but there are drawbacks in terms of restrictions on listening to music up to 30 minutes a day and advertising. In terms of load, the application is quite heavy and can take up a lot of system resources.
In terms of functionality, most applications are no different from the desktop version of VK.
VK Coffee for Android is a modification of the official client. It has features like invisibility, multiple accounts, no ads, PIN protection, and more. You can download music to your phone.
VK MP3 mod - supports the function of being invisible to other users, working with multiple profiles, encrypting correspondence, using a large variety of stickers. Feature in downloading music in unlimited quantities.
Kate Mobile is one of the most popular and convenient VK clients. Has the following advantages:
- Lightweight client that does not take up much space on the device;
- Invisibility mode for users;
- Support for multiple accounts;
- Lack of VK advertising;
- Flexible customization of the interface;
- Saving music to cache (only in Pro version);
- Fast and stable client that works without errors.
Using this program for a smartphone, the user will be able to customize the appearance for himself. The entrance is carried out not only with a pin code, but also with a fingerprint.
If the user wants to listen to music and save it to the cache, then he will have to download the Pro version from the official website of the application, since it is not in the Play Market.
Lynt lite - the client is very similar to the official one. Made in Material Design style and has the same features. Feature in appearance and themes.
Vkontakte Amberfog is another popular client based on the Material Design concept. Has the same functionality as Kate Mobile. Most of these options can only be used for money. If you don't want to pay, you can complete tasks for which the user will be credited with coins. For them, you can buy some kind of Amberfog function for a month.
Phoenix Lite - the only difference is in design, the functions are the same as in other clients.
Polyglot Vkontakte - no difference. The disadvantage is the lack of a music and video section.
As you can see, there are a lot of clients for mobile devices. And if you like simplicity and accessibility, then nothing prevents you from using the mobile version of VK from a computer or laptop.

Answers to the most frequent questions on the mobile version of Vkontakte:
How to switch to the mobile version of VK on a computer?
Switching to the mobile version of VK is very easy - just add the letter to the website's web address https://vk.com/ "M"... Together it will look like this: https://m.vk.com/
How to switch to the mobile version of VK on a smartphone?
If for some reason the desktop version of the social network is open on your phone, it doesn't matter - do the same in the URL field as in the previous answer - add the prefix "m" to the address.
How to upgrade to the full version of VK on a smartphone or laptop?
This can be done in two ways - either click on the special menu item "Full version", which is available both on the phone and on the computer, or remove the prefix "m" in the URL line.
Why does the mobile version open instead of the full version on a computer (laptop)?
One of the reasons is that you could inadvertently save the mobile version in your browser bookmarks. Another reason is that you click on the link to the last saved visits in the browser, where there may be a version of VK for mobile phones. To pre-empt this, enter a query into the search bar (usually something like ml vk com or m.vk.com login) and then click on the VK site without the "m" prefix in the URL.
Why does the full version of VK open on the phone instead of the mobile one?
The same situation (only the opposite) can occur on a smartphone. If to enter VK you click on the last visited page, or on a saved bookmark with a regular version, then in order to change the situation and get to the mobile version, just click in the search on the Vkontakte website with the prefix "m".
