As is known, the functionality of the Russian social network"Vkontakte" implies the possibility (up to 30 people) from prying eyes. At the same time, there are users who are eager to find out if any person has hidden friends in VK, and what kind of people they are. In this article, I will try to help such users, and tell you how you can find out hidden friends in VK, and what methods will help us with this.

First of all, I note that there are no highly effective methods to determine the hidden friends of any user in VK. When searching the web, you can find several network resources (for example, these are 220vk.com, vk.city4me.com and others), as well as several mobile applications(for example, "Hidden friends of Vkontakte" in the Play Market), which offer to identify the user's closed friends in VK by entering his VK address or ID in the appropriate line, and then clicking on the search button.

True, it quickly turns out that these services (programs) need a login and password for your VK page, after which the creators of these products get direct access to your personal data. After that, you can expect various troubles when working with VK - theft of your page, failures in its functionality, and much more.

At the same time, those who dared to entrust their login and password to these services were usually left with nothing, since test tasks with fake accounts, these services failed without finding any hidden by the user friend. Therefore, I would not trust my login and password to these resources, and even more so, I would not recommend sending paid SMS to unknown numbers, and that can end rather badly for your mobile account.

How to determine the number of secret friends "Vkontakte"

However, there are several completely legal ways to determine the number of hidden friends of a user.

Click on "Friends" to access the user's friends list

1. To do this, go to his page, and click on "Friends" there.
2. A list of all the user's friends will open. Remember the total figure for the number of all friends (suppose it is 50 people).
3. Then click on the "Settings" button on the right, and select the gender "Female".
4. Only female friends will be displayed, remember their total number (let's say 20). Now select the male gender, and also remember the number (also let it be 20).
5. Now add the male and female numbers together (let's say 20+20=40).

You will receive a certain number (in our case 40), which may not coincide with the number of default friends of the user (as we remember, initially it was 50 people). Now you need to see if there are any deleted and banned pages among the friends of this user. If there are such (for example, there are 5 of them), then you need to add their number to the number of male and female friends (40). We get the number 45 (20+20+5).

Now we need to subtract the resulting number 45 from the initial number of the user's friends displayed on his page (50). The resulting difference of 5 people (50-45=5) will be the number of hidden friends of the user.

The disadvantage of this method is the impossibility of accurately identifying people who are in such hidden friends.

Another way to discover hidden friends in VK

There is also another way to find out the user's hidden friends on Vkontakte. To do this, you need to look through his wall in search of comments and likes from various people, and then see if the authors of the comments and likes are in the friends of this user.

If there is no “commentator” among friends, you should go to his page and view the list of his friends. If in this list friends, you will find the person from whose page you started your search, which means that it is quite possible that the author of the comments (likes) is such a hidden friend.

This method is inconvenient in that sometimes you have to spend a lot of time before you discover any hidden friend. In addition, the commenter and our original user may have each other's hidden friends, making it difficult to search effectively. However, also this way quite efficient and workable in practice.

Conclusion

In this material, I have considered ways to identify hidden friends on the VK network. I do not recommend trusting any sites or programs that offer to find out all your secret friends in a couple of clicks - you will not gain anything except problems with the page and the potential loss of money. It would be better to use the methods described in this article - they are legal and quite working in use.

For a long time, contact provided an opportunity to hide your friends from strangers. But on one not very joyful day, all the secret became clear. On this basis, there were many quarrels and scandals, maybe even families broke up for someone. And everyone became interested in how to hide VKontakte friends so that they would not have to make excuses to their acquaintances and their halves.

How to make hidden friends on VKontakte?

Of course, not only traitors and intriguers hide their friends from outsiders, there are probably very few of them in the general mass. It’s just that sometimes you don’t really want all the other acquaintances to discuss or gossip about meeting someone. Why give people once again to "grind the bones", they will be happy to find something to cling to.

To date, VK allows the user to "hide" 30 of his friends from outsiders. Can you hide less, but no more?

Here's what you need to do to hide:

1. Go to " My settings».
2. Click on the button " privacy».
3. After that, we go to the point " ».
4. Initially, there will be an option " All friends».
5. To change the settings, click on this item.

7. In one, all those people who are your friends and subscribers.
8. In another, so far empty, hidden friends.

View hidden friends VKontakte

Even 2-3 years ago there were several loopholes that allowed access to this information. But the management of the contact covered everything safely, and the information became really private. Except for a couple of things:

1. When you enter the page, mutual friends are displayed, even if they are hidden.
2. So if there is person number 1” in your friends list, you can find out in such a simple way whether he is among the contacts of any other. To do this, you just need to go to the page.
3. If a " person number 1"Hid it in my friends" person number 2' does not mean that ' person number 2' did the same. So sometimes it is enough to check the list of friends of this very second person.
4. The work is painstaking, but what can you do if you really need to find out. If you are 100% sure that " person number 1» in friends should be « person number 2”, but he is not there - check in the list of subscribers, he may be there.

In any case, digging into the list of other people's friends looks rather strange. It’s easier to ask directly, if the interlocutor wants, he will answer you. Just not the fact that the truth.

To date there is no universal way to view hidden friends.

Program for viewing the actions of friends in VK

Few people want to do all this by hand. Especially for people who value their time, we have developed a program, and it is absolutely free. It's called VK Paranoid Tools :

• To download, just go to the official website.
• Except for herself current version software you will find text and video instructions.
• After installation on your computer, you will not be asked to give your username and password. It is only necessary to drive in the id of the "victim", which we will follow.
• After a couple of seconds, you will receive comprehensive information on friends, subscribers and likes.
• And what's even nicer, you can run automatic check and update the information at least every 5 seconds.
• Thus, it will be possible to know who liked who, who was added as a friend, who was deleted . Who was blacklisted and who was hidden.

By and large, this is the only real way see hidden friends. But only those who were hidden after the first launch of the program. So the installation should be quick.

The black list is also a nice bonus, so you can find out with whom a person has just had a big fight. You can play psychic, or you can use the information received in another way.

With program security all in in perfect order, it first appeared in 2015, and the number of active users is measured in tens of thousands. Accounts so far no one has lost.

• Even for those who do not use the program, there are still chances. Enough to go to subscriptions person of interest. In addition to various publics, there will be people to whom he is subscribed. It is they who he has in those very " Outgoing requests».

• In extreme cases, you can check manually. All you need to remember is the entire list of friends. Well, or only those who interest you.

Information security in the network

It is becoming more and more difficult to obtain classified information every year. Let's see what's good and bad about it:

In global terms, network security and information protection are useful things. But a person's position on this issue can change dramatically, depending on which side of the barricades he is on. It is always unpleasant for us when data about us is disclosed by a third party. But it is also interesting to find out some secret, something hidden by others.

How can you hide friends?

To reduce the displayed list of friends by 30 people:

Is it worth it to do it - decide for yourself. Sometimes it is useful to "hide" a dozen acquaintances, especially if they are at odds with each other. Why explain something and answer uncomfortable questions when you can press a couple of buttons and stop the development of the conflict in the bud.

Video lesson: hide your friends in VK from outsiders

Hello dear readers! As you know, the Russian social network Vkontakte provides for its users a sufficient number of different settings and functions that should make staying on the site as comfortable as possible for everyone. One of these settings include the ability to hide friends. Any of us, using this privilege, can pursue a different goal. However, our today's article is dedicated, of course, not to conspirators, but to curious Barbarians who are eager to see the hidden friends of VK on the page of the person over whom the detective investigation is being conducted.

Is it a justified risk to see hidden VK friends?

It should be noted right away that at the moment there is no secure services and programs that could show hidden Vkontakte friends. And keyword here are safe. Therefore, by downloading a promising application or using an untrustworthy site to view hidden VK friends, you thereby subscribe to a voluntary hacking of your own account. This usually happens when a login request pops up through a username and password. But, if the official website of Vkontakte guarantees the security of your data, then no one will give you this guarantee on analogues of VK with a wider range of actions. And as a result, scammers have full access to your page, through which, at best, they will send spam.

If you nevertheless decide to take a chance and resort to the help of such resources, then personally I would like to give advice: do it better from a fake page, which you definitely won’t be sorry to lose.

Now back to the topic and list the sites that position themselves as "spyware". These include: 220vk.com, vk-express.ru, vkspy.by, vk.city4me.com.

How they will behave in practice, it remains for you to check. Be prepared for the fact that, most likely, you will need to enter your username and password, but if you use a fake page, this is not so bad. We strongly do not recommend sending SMS “with a code / code word” to some number, otherwise money will be mobile account like it never happened.

And I would very much like you to share your experience in the comments below this article after the “operation” has been completed.

How to find out if a user has hidden friends?

This method does not allow you to find out who exactly remains a secret. However, the very presence of hidden friends from the user is as easy as shelling pears. For this, you do not need to download any obscure programs, but it is enough to be able to count. Now follow the instructions:

1. Go to the page of the person you are interested in.
2. On his page, go to "Friends". Pay attention to the number of people (let's say that there are 60 of them).
3. On the right side of the window, click on "Settings". In the filter, alternately set the gender and remember the number of corresponding friends. For example, there are 25 women and 15 men.
4. View your friends list. Perhaps someone did not indicate the gender or deleted. Let's say there are 3 people.
5. As a result, we subtract women, men and "undefined" from the total amount of friends: 60-25-15-3=17. 17, you guessed it, is the number of hidden friends. But, unfortunately, you will not be able to identify them.

Discover hidden friends by observation

If it is really so important for you to figure out hidden friends, while not feeling sorry for the time, then you will have to thoroughly “scan” all the photos, posts on the wall and comments. Pay attention to who often likes and comments on your passion's posts. If someone is in mind, go to the page of this person. Mutual friends will be displayed there. And if your betrothed is on the list of mutual friends, and the betrothed just does not see this person as friends, then most likely he is a hidden friend.

But, again, we repeat that it will take more than one hour.

Conclusion

We remind you that regardless of the number of friends, a VK user can add no more than 30 people to the list of hidden friends. We also add that the developers of this social network really took care to hide the information that the user wants as reliably as possible, thereby not violating his personal space. Therefore, it is still not easy to see hidden friends on VK, and this question remains open to a greater extent ...

That's all, friends! Trust each other and see you soon!
