VK App is the official VKontakte client, presented in the new and old versions.

Useful Features

The latest versions of the VK application were very coldly received by users. First, the administration of the largest Russian social network banned the use of the "invisible" mode, and then began to fight the spread of pirated music. Because of this, at the moment, the customer rating in the AppStore is rapidly approaching one.

By installing the old version of VK App on your iPhone or iPad, you will be able to download audio from the music catalog to your device, and you can also return to the traditional interface. To use the old application, owners of iOS devices need to perform a Jailbreak.

Familiar features

Well, as you might guess, VK App offers a full range of standard features. Using it, you can chat, exchange emoticons and stickers, give gifts, read posts in communities and follow the news of friends, receiving notifications about changes in their profile or visiting pages in person. There are also tools for editing personal page data and a privacy settings section, previously available only from a browser. For the convenience of users, all navigation within the application is carried out from the side menu.

Key features

• allows you to return to the classic VK interface;
• allows you to communicate in private and group chats;
• sends pop-up notifications about new friend requests, messages and other updates;
• supports downloading audio recordings to the cache for further listening offline;
• perfectly adapts to devices with a large screen diagonal;

Today, 09/27/2017, I was surprised to find that on my iPhone, and on other phones with the Android OS, it became possible to update . The update of Mobile VK has to be taken for granted, a sharp transition to a new look.

Quick navigation:

A new look of the VK mobile application.

At first glance, very interesting, something new! But after a few seconds, when I could not find the "Messages" tab in the menu, I was confused and I remembered all these crappy services from mail ru. Of course, VK is no longer Pavel Durov. A wave of indignation swept through my head with slogans like: “Bring Durov back!” ...

What's new and good?

And there really is good, no matter how anyone says anything. After all, everything new is always perceived with hostility.

New menu (More convenient with a large screen)

All the most important functions are placed on the bottom panel, the rest of the menu items are now in the lower right corner. With such an interface, it has really become more convenient and, for example, you can get to messages in 1 click.

Now owners of smartphones with a large screen, it will be much more convenient to use the application. Previously, the menu button was at the top and in order to use it, you needed a second hand or incredible tricks with one.

Now this very menu is at the bottom and you can easily click it with your thumb.

Answers "Bell"

Now all the most important, friends, likes and reposts, everything is collected in one paragraph. There are also notification settings, now you can fine-tune notifications for yourself. Leave only what is really important to you.

Improved Search

AT new version a single input field is used for searching, here you can find a person, group, records, videos and music. The search has become more interactive, to the fore the algorithm displays information based on the user's preferences.

To disable safe search, you still need to switch in the browser (See).

Less significant changes in the new VC.

As soon as I put the first one, I noticed that it turned red, it immediately reminded me of Instagram. Previously, when pressed, it acquired a darker, blue color. What I immediately liked was the very neatly executed elements under the news, likes, messages, and views. Now they look more harmonious and stylish.

By the way, Vkontakte music now has a listening limit, how to get around this innovation (See).

How do you like innovation?

It is too early to give a definite answer, it takes time and this time can make us get used to the new design and functionality. Welcome pictures telling about new features are made in a disgusting style, where that simple design got used to it. Now just add a beige background and it will be ala Odnoklassniki ...

Surely in the near future there will be a lot of controversy, for better or worse, but we will have to shove a new update, redesign 2017.

As for the changes, at first glance, you can see that the messaging function has been moved from the main menu to a separate lower tray icon, reminded WhatsApp. Of course, if you take all the changes, then VK has become more like Facebook and a little like Instagram.

Russia is a peculiar country, which in many cases works autonomously. Nothing out of the ordinary considering that it has about 150 million inhabitants and its big influence to neighboring countries. And if they are independent in many ways, why not on the Internet? Well, it is. For example, they have their own Yandex search engine, and the social network VKontakte, the most popular in the country.

Russian version of Facebook

This is how this web service is known, mainly due to the similarity to the platform developed by Mark Zuckerberg and the Menlo Park company. The fact is that VK was invented by brothers Pavel and Nikolai Durov, creators of Telegram Messenger, an instant messaging app that, despite not being a threat to WhatsApp (also owned by Facebook), is still installed on millions of smartphones around the world.

As for the official iPhone application of this Russian social network, we encounter functions similar to those of FB. In other words, we can set up a user profile, and post photos, things that come to mind, send messages to our friends, like, share photos, follow interesting pages and profiles.

• Customize your user page, including your personal details such as name, age, or profile photo.
• Create albums to separate photos and videos.
• Meet new people and add users to your friends page.
• Send private messages with emojis and stickers.
• Share photos and use the editor to enhance them with filters and effects.
• Be part of user groups and communities that are similar to your interests.
• Play social network games.
• Play videos and songs.

However, this online service goes beyond Facebook as it includes other features that can be compared to YouTube or online music streaming platforms like Pandora or Spotify, trying to garner the most social functions used by Internet users.

Many users of the VKontakte social network, who own iPhone mobile devices, are aware of the conflict between Apple and VK. It ended with a return to the store App Store official social network application, but without some features. Previously, this concerned 18+ content, and now music.
