The VKontakte website has privacy settings through which you can hide your page. We will show you how to open these settings below. What exactly can you configure there to hide a page or close it from certain people or just from all strangers?
Make the page private
You can make the page private in the privacy settings link. In the list of settings you need to find “Profile Type” and set it to “Private”. After this, only your friends will see the entire page. Everyone else will see only the first name, last name, main photo (without the ability to enlarge it), mutual friends, number of friends and posts, and also, if filled out, status, age, city, place of work.
When you make your profile private, all privacy settings are automatically reset to more private ones - to “Only friends” or remain the same if they were more limited (for example, “Only me” or “No one”).
Hide yourself VKontakte: privacy settings
Your settings section "Privacy". determines who and what can watch, write on your page, send personal messages, comment, invite to groups. You can do everything as you need.
There are four sections:
- My page— who you allow and who you forbid to view this or that information on your personal VKontakte page
- Entries on the page- everything that touches your wall
- Contact me— restrictions on personal messages, invitations
- Other
Any person (VKontakte user) can visit your page, but what he sees on it depends on the settings. You can choose who can see information on your page. For example, to hide your city or marital status, you need to select in the “Who sees the basic information of my page” setting who you are allow me to see this information. Others won't see it.
Each setting can be clicked and changed. Let's take a closer look. First part: "My page". The first point: “Who sees the basic information of my page.” For example, if “All users” is currently selected there, you can click there and select “Friends and friends of friends” - this means that the information can be viewed by the person you added as a friend OR any person who is a friend of one of your friends .
You can open privacy settings in a new window link(this instruction will remain and you can switch back to it).
Here are all the settings in this section that you can control:
- Who sees the main information of my page
- Who sees the photos in which I was tagged?
- Who sees the videos in which I was tagged?
- Who sees the list of my groups
- Who sees the list of my audio recordings
- Who sees my gift list?
- Who sees the card with my photos
- Who is visible in the list of my friends and subscriptions - here you can hide friends, this is written below
- Who sees my hidden friends
Next to each of these settings is the currently selected option. You can click there and select something else. For example, to ensure that only your friends see the information on the page, select the “Friends Only” option in each item.
Now attention! Think about who you want to close yourself off from. Maybe your future life partner, who could become your destiny forever, will want to look at your page. But he won't be able to do this. Therefore, do not change these settings unless absolutely necessary.
Below, in the section "Other" There is a setting “Who can see my page on the Internet”. There you can choose one of three options:
- Everyone: this means that anyone can visit your page (not even a VKontakte user)
- Everyone except search sites: anyone can go to the page, but it will be impossible to find you in Yandex or Google by name and surname
- Only VKontakte users: only VKontakte users will be able to find you by name and surname, as well as access your page
How to hide a wall
You can completely hide the wall from non-friends by making your profile private. Without closing your profile, you can hide posts selectively when publishing them (make them only for friends):
How to hide a post on a wall
To hide a post, publish it only to friends. Open your page, click on the “title” of the wall (where the number of posts is indicated), and you will see a creation new entry with the “Friends Only” checkbox. Or you can write something on the wall and put a tick next to the words “Friends Only.”
Pay attention to the settings group "Page Entries"- this is just about the wall.
- Who sees other people's posts on my page - choose who can see what other people wrote on your wall
- Who can leave posts on my page - choose who is allowed to write on your wall (you can prohibit everyone, that is, select the “Only me” option)
- Who sees comments on posts - select who sees comments on the wall (under posts)
- Who can comment on my posts - choose who is allowed to comment on the wall
If you want to hide all the posts on the wall from everyone, there is an extreme measure - this is to delete all the posts one by one. They will disappear forever, and you will never recover them.
How to hide your reposts?
Allow only friends to see reposts, and hide from others only by making the profile private. There is no other way. A repost is something you shared. These posts on your wall can be seen by your friends, subscribers, as well as any other people who are not prohibited from viewing your page. But there is such a way: you can selectively prohibit a specific person from viewing your page, and thus hide reposts from him (along with everything else). Simply put, you need to block this person. But at the same time, he will also not be able to write to you in a personal message.
How to hide a friend, friends
You can hide all VKontakte friends by making your profile private. But the user who has mutual friends with you will see them. Without closing your profile, you can hide only 30 friends, and you can choose who to hide. The “Who is visible in the list of my friends and subscriptions” setting is responsible for this. Click to the right of it and your friends list will open. To hide a friend, find him and press plus. Finally, click “Save Changes.”
How to add a person as a hidden friend?
Just add him as a friend as usual, and then hide him through the “Who is visible in the list of my friends and subscriptions” setting, as we just described. Remember that you can hide no more than 30 friends.
How to hide photos, a photo album?
Go to “My Photos” and click on the “pencil” in the upper right corner of the album that you want to hide (you need to hover over it with your mouse). Next will be the “Who can view/comment on this album?” setting. Opposite it, select the option you need - for example, “Friends only.” You can also limit who can comment on photos in the album.
If you don’t see the album you want, click “Show all __ albums” at the bottom.
Is it possible to hide the albums “Photos from my page” and “Photos on the wall”?
The albums “Photos from my page” and “Photos on the wall” cannot be hidden.
Modern social networks have smoothly taken over a large part of human life. For example, now having met a new acquaintance, we learn the details of his personal life from his VK profile. Each user's page contains personal information, which not everyone likes. If you are not satisfied with this state of affairs, then you can hide your VKontakte page from other users and make some information available only to friends. We will tell you how to do this below.
How to hide your VKontakte page
First of all, you should figure out why you should do this at all. You register in social network to find old acquaintances, new friends or even a life partner. Of course, a profile filled with personal information is more trustworthy, so each user leads a fairly active social life online.
However, it is precisely this accessibility that often becomes the reason that personal information is not used with good intentions. On the VK page, anyone can find out about your preferences, social circle, and even indicate the places where you visit more often than others. More and more users are thinking about privacy issues and the social network provides wide functionality for secure communication online. To hide certain information from your profile, open the Settings tab on the main page. Here we are interested in the Privacy item, which gives access to all security settings.
VK makes it possible to hide the following data:
- full page;
- a wall with personal notes;
- photos;
- audio and video recordings;
- Friend list;
- gifts and groups;
- personal information.
Let's start with the basics and tell you how to hide your profile page. In the Privacy menu you see the item “Who can see my page”. When you click on this inscription, you are asked to choose one of three options:
- Everyone. This value is the default and means that everyone can see your page.
- Everyone except search pages. The fact is that your page is an ordinary resource on the network that is indexed search engines. That is, when making a request, any search engine can display your personal information, photos and provide a link to your profile on the request page. If you click on this item, you will close your profile from indexing and it will be impossible to find you through search.
- Only VKontakte users. In this case, everything is clear and your page is visible only to registered users of the social network. Hide your VKontakte page from everyone except your friends - this is a great way to completely secure your data, because you create the list of friends yourself.
As you can see, by paying attention only to this point, you are already increasing the privacy of your profile and can protect yourself from the machinations of scammers and spiteful critics. Hide your VKontakte page from search is useful for one simple reason - only those you add as friends will be able to get to know you better, and it will simply be impossible to get information in other ways
By the way, you won’t be able to hide your page completely. It will be visible to those you add as your friends. To completely destroy information about yourself on a social network, you will have to contact the service technical support and ask for complete removal account.
Fine privacy settings
If you pay more attention to the settings, you will find quite a lot interesting opportunities, which will help you hide personal information about yourself. All options are presented on the privacy settings page and each item increases the level of security:
- Communication settings. In the “Contact me” item, you set the parameters for receiving messages. If you select the “Nobody” option, it will be impossible to contact you through the social network.
- Personal data. If necessary, you can easily block everyone except you from viewing your page. To do this, in all “My Page” items, select “Only me”.
- Friend list. VK makes it possible to hide some friends from others if you do not want to advertise your acquaintance with this person.
- Groups and subscriptions. In the settings you can hide the list of groups you are subscribed to.
Besides general settings, pay attention to the options for displaying your content. You can hide posts on your wall by adjusting your display options. To hide a photo, simply specify who can view the photo in the settings. We do the same with videos, but for this you will have to create a separate album, accessible only to a limited number of people or only to you.
What cannot be hidden on a VK page
Despite the wide range of settings, some data will still be visible. For example, you cannot hide the following information from everyone:
- Avatar. Many people use a photo as an avatar, but you can set any picture that you find interesting enough.
- Date of birth, language and country. At this point, you can simply not provide such data or use deliberately false information.
- Your wall. Personal publications can be hidden without any problems, but reposts will remain visible.
- Photo albums “Photos on my wall” and “Photos from my page”.
The social network VKontakte is one of the most popular and visited among a large number of Internet users. With this program you can find new acquaintances, communicate with friends and learn something new.
