The iOS mobile operating system still keeps a lot of secrets that, at first glance, do not seem obvious.
One of the problems that an active iPhone user faces is opening web pages in mobile version layouts. In the Safari browser, there are two options for switching to the full-size version:
For a long time? Agree! And there is a beautiful one alternative to this method:
Method 2. Fast:
- When you open a web page in your Safari browser, click on the icon Update and do not release your finger for several seconds.
- A pop-up menu will open asking you to go to Full version of the site.
Note: More and more website owners are installing forced opening of the mobile version, which cannot be circumvented using standard means. It is likely that after the transition to Full version, the page will remain unchanged.
To enable the mobile version of the site close the current tab with the page and go to its address again.
Mobile version of VKontakte is the No. 1 social networking site in the CIS, specially adapted for the small screens of mobile phones (the total audience per day is more than 80 million people, and the number of views is more than 1 billion). Every year more and more people use smartphones to access social networks, and it is quite natural that some problems arise. In this material we will tell you how to solve them.
VK: Mobile version
If you don’t have a smartphone or tablet at hand, from which the user visits the VKontakte social network every day, then a laptop or regular computer will come to the rescue. Of course, in some cases it is more convenient to use the full version of VK, but some people only like the mobile version. For just such a case, we are happy to announce that you can also use the mobile version on your computer!
How to log into the mobile version of VKontakte via a computer or laptop
When entering the official VK website, the user sees a regular wall and sections on the left. The desktop version in the browser address bar looks like this: https://vk.com (the site protocol must be secure with the letter “s” at the end, otherwise there is a risk of getting caught on another site).
To access the mobile version of VK, just enter the following address in the address bar of your browser - https://m.vk.com. As you can see, the difference in the address is the addition of the letter “m”, which means mobile.
When you access the site from a smartphone or tablet, you are automatically redirected to the mobile version.
By the way, you can also open the full version of VK from your phone. To do this, on the left side of the site, look for the “Full version” item.

What is the difference between the mobile version of VKontakte and the full version?
For a hands-on comparison, log in to 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 are worth considering:
- The mobile version has a more compact interface;
- The font is larger, so all menu items are visible very clearly;
- Lack of built-in advertising in the site interface;
- Fast loading of the social network, since there are almost no unnecessary elements.
- The functions of the mobile version are in no way reduced.
- The window adjusts to any resolution - if we start to reduce 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 functionality, of course. If you go to the full version, targeted advertising will be shown among the sections on the left, which cannot be disabled even with the help of a blocker.
The font is much smaller, although this problem can be solved by increasing the browser window scale.
For comparison, font sizes in the mobile and full versions of VK:
Regular font
Font in mobile version on PC
As for loading the site, the full version has more elements, as well as more code. Various scripts take especially long 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.
Interface of the mobile version of VKontakte
Let's look at the main sections that are available in the mobile version of the VK social network. These sections are also available in the desktop edition. Only the location of the 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;
- visibility of saved photos;
- group display;
- displaying a list of audio recordings;
- displaying a list of gifts;
- hiding friends;
- visibility of notes on the wall;
- interaction with other users;
- web page visibility
Next section - Alerts. Here you can set up notifications about actions that are taken in relation to your page, for example, when someone puts the “Like” mark, a dark window will appear showing that they liked it. 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 completed transactions.
What VKontakte applications are there for mobile phones?
You can find many different applications for Android and iOS devices on the Internet. 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 pleasant 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. As for the load, the application is quite heavy and can consume 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 such as being invisible, using multiple accounts, no ads, PIN code protection and much more. You can download music to your phone.
VK MP3 mod – supports the function of invisibility for other users, working with multiple profiles, encrypting correspondence, and using a large number of different stickers. The special feature is downloading music in unlimited quantities.
Kate Mobile is one of the popular and convenient clients for VK. Has the following advantages:
- Lightweight client that does not take up much space on the device;
- Invisibility mode for users;
- Support for multiple accounts;
- No VK advertising;
- Flexible customization of the interface type;
- Saving music to cache (Pro version only);
- Fast and stable client that works without errors.
Using this program for a smartphone, the user can customize the appearance for themselves. Login is carried out not only using a PIN code, but also with a fingerprint.
If the user wants to listen to music and save it in the cache, then they 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 functions. Features in appearance and design themes.
VKontakte Amberfog is another popular client made according to 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 awarded coins. For them you can buy some Amberfog function for a month.
Phoenix Lite - the only difference is in design, the functions are the same as in other clients.
Polyglot VKontakte - there are no differences. The disadvantage is the lack of music and video sections.
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 frequently asked questions about 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 a letter to the web address of the site 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 you have opened the desktop version of the social network on your phone, it doesn’t matter - do the same in the URL input 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 by clicking on the special “Full version” menu item, which is available on both the phone and the computer, or by removing the “m” prefix in the URL line.
Why does the mobile version open on a computer (laptop) instead of the full version?
One of the reasons is that you could involuntarily save the mobile version in your browser bookmarks. Another reason is that in your browser you click a link to your last saved visits, where there may be a version of VK for mobile phones. To prevent this, enter a query in the search bar (usually something like ml vk com or m.vk.com login) and then click on the VK website without the prefix “m” in the URL.
Why does the full version of VK open on my phone instead of the mobile version?
The same situation (only the opposite) can occur on a smartphone. If to enter VK you click on the last page you visited, or on a saved bookmark with the regular version, then to change the situation and get to the mobile version, just click in the search on the Vkontakte website with the prefix “m”.
Attention! Friends, if you still have questions or unresolved problems related to the mobile version of VK, feel free to ask them in the comments (below)!Did you know about these VKontakte opportunities?

At the bottom of the page there is a full screen mode option, click it and go to normal mode from your mobile phone
Are there really such easy questions on our beloved Big Question!?
Just as we have already clarified, you can delete the letter m in the browser line, just don’t forget the dot after it, it can also be deleted)
There, at the very bottom of the page, if you scroll through what is written, go to the full version of the site, click and that’s it.
If you switched to the mobile version from your computer and don’t know how to exit it, then you need to go to the main page and at the bottom right you will see the Full version button.
There is another way. Click on the address bar and delete the letter m from the address bar.
If you have a mobile version on your computer instead of the usual version of the VKontakte website, then at the bottom of the menu on the right there will be a Full version button. You should click it to go to full-screen mode, which is familiar to most users. And if you want to switch to the full version from your mobile phone, then you can change it to the full version in the browser settings, or you can also do it through the Vkontakte website itself.
If you have such a situation that somehow you switched from your personal computer to the mobile version of the site, then you just need to scroll down the page and select the button called full-screen mode, you can also do the same for a mobile device.
If you want to log out of your account while in the mobile version of VKontakte, then you should do the following. First of all, you will need to go to the settings of your profile, and after that you will only have to go lower, there will be a button called exit, click on this button and your task of exiting the search for the mobile version of VKontakte is completely completed. I also didn’t find this button right away.
For me, the mobile version of VKontakte is much more convenient and I use this (mobile) version of VK.
Exiting the mobile version is very simple; all you need to do is press one single button.
Scroll down the page (currently in the mobile version) and find the Full version button and click this button. I have this button at the bottom of settings and help:
We click on it and we are transferred to/to the full version of the site, thereby leaving the mobile version.
VKontakte You can log in either through a computer or through a mobile phone; when logging in from a mobile phone, the version may be different. The mobile version and the computer version are very different, the output is different for different versions.
If you often log in from a mobile phone, then the exit in the mobile version is located at the bottom of the page, that is, on the left side, first scrolling down the page - from settings, then - help, full version, exit.
Or simply use the function - switch to the full version, by switching to the full version, which is displayed on the computer - you will be able to see the button - Go out.
I didn’t immediately understand what the question actually was. I thought that you cannot exit the mobile version of VKontakte from your phone. If so, then you can go to your phone's task manager and simply cancel the task.
If you have a problem on the computer itself, then I never even paid attention to the fact that at the bottom of the VKontakte page there is a button for mobile version and full version. Simply click on the version you need.
I rarely exit the VKontakte application on my smartphone. There were a couple of times when my son needed to go to his page.
First, on the menu (where your avatar is, news, replies, messages, and so on in the list), select settings and open it. In the settings menu at the very bottom there will be a line to exit. Click and exit.
Pull the page to the right. In the main menu in the mobile version, go to settings. Next, go down the list. There will be a log out button. Click no and exit the mobile version.
There is another option. If you change the password for your VKontakte account on your computer, the account on your mobile phone may be logged out on its own. Something like that.
Previously, I used VKontakte only from a computer or laptop. The phone was inferior and there was no way to access the Internet through it.
Afterwards we connected Wi-Fi at home and my husband gave us a good phone. Since then, I started accessing social networks through my phone. And when I first looked for the log out button in the VKontakte mobile application, I suffered quite a bit. In the mobile version, unlike the full version of the application, the exit button is located in the menu on the left. You need to open the settings and scroll to the very bottom. When you click this button, the data will be reset and a window will appear asking you to enter your username and password to log into your social network account.
If you are using the mobile version through a browser, then you should go to the full version (the button in the upper left corner) and exit in the usual way.
We'll talk aboutAndroid.When surfing the web on your smartphones and tablets, many of you are probably annoyed by automatically showing mobile versions of sites or their adaptive design, which changes independently depending on the device screen.
Unfortunately, the same Google is now literally putting pressure on webmasters in terms of having a mobile version of the site, threatening to lower positions in the ranking of search results on smartphones for those who do not have it. However, taking into account the fact that smartphone screens are becoming larger and their resolution is increasing, for the most part I do not see the need to change the design depending on the device screen (small phone screens and WAP browsers are a thing of the past).
The big drawback of this scheme is the psychological discomfort of a person who sees from a tablet or smartphone a site that is completely different from the one he is used to reading from a PC or laptop. There is a need to “search for the right button” (or, for example, a missing third column), and associated irritation arises, because people are already spoiled by modern services that do literally everything for us. In this case, a person sees the reduced functionality of his favorite site, the absence of the usual menus in the right place, etc. You immediately feel the desire to go to the footer of the resource and click the “Full version” button or even close it and read something else.
There is an opinion that the best design is the one that looks as good and comfortable as possible on most devices and remains unchanged to the eye. At least that's what I was striving for.
As a result, using the most common mobile browser for Android - GoogleChrome and seeing a page of a site that was clearly “truncated” in appearance, I constantly had to check the “Full version” box in “Settings”. Making this setting permanent turned out to beChrome is not possible. For some sites, showing the “full version” is remembered, for others it is not, for others (for example, MTS) it does not work at all. At a certain point, I had enough of this. I had to look for an alternative.
Unfortunately, my favorite is desktop MozillaFirefox, which is so convenient to work on a PC with the source code, in the mobile version I was disappointed - I didn’t like the scaling of fonts, and the system for disabling “mobile versions” in it is similar to Chrome and is not permanent.
BrowserOpera forAndroid. After downloading it to my smartphone, I finally solved this problem. First of all, we are not talking about Opera Mini, which, although it compresses traffic, is extremely poor in its implementation, because... does not understand many scripts and styles, distorting the usual design of modern sites. We are talking about full version mobile Opera. For those who want to save traffic and compress pictures, it also has a “Turbo” mode (Opera Turbo), so just activate it in “Settings”. There you will also find the item we need:
Useragent: "Mobile Device" or "Desktop".
The default is “Mobile device”. Select “Desktop Computer”.
All, problem solved. Now Opera always emulates a desktop computer and mobile versions of sites on our smartphone or tablet, or their adaptation to the screens of portable devices no longer bothers us. We see full-fledged websites without reduced or hidden functionality. Fortunately, multitouch was invented a long time ago and we all already know how to use it.
Fortunately, the Opera browser suited me in other respects: a convenient “Application View” setting - “Phone”, “Classic” or “Tablet” configures the display of additional buttons and menus. Fonts are scaled as needed, pages look neat and readable.
The only pity is that I have not yet been able to choose a universal browser for myself, both for a desktop PC and a smartphone, so I cannot use a convenient system for synchronizing bookmarks, history, and the like.
It happens that the mobile version of VKontakte opens, but you need to enter the full version (for computer, regular, web version). How to do it?
You cannot access the full version in the mobile app on your phone. It is best to use a browser on a computer, laptop, or tablet. But you can also use a browser on your phone (Safari, Chrome), but it will be very small and you will have to enlarge it. Here we talk about all the ways to log in to the full version, on all devices.
How to switch to the full version
If you are currently on mobile (m.vk.com), you can switch from mobile to full mode yourself:
How to open the full version of VK on a computer or tablet
Click "Computer version" in the left column of the menu, below (penultimate item):
How to open the full version of VK on your phone
Attention! This advice does not apply to a mobile application (an application is a program installed on your phone with the “VK” icon). The full version can be opened in the mobile version site VK, which you access through a browser on your phone (for example, Chrome or Safari) at m.vk.com.
- Open the main menu in the mobile version ( button in the upper left corner in the form of three stripes).
- Scroll down if you can't see all the items.
- Click "Computer version".
You can also open the full version of VK simply by following the link (more on this later).
On a phone, the full version will look small, so you will have to move the image with your fingers to make it larger and get where you need it. But if there is no other device besides a smartphone at hand right now, this is a completely workable solution.
How to quickly open the full version of VKontakte
You can open the full version of VKontakte through the “Login” start page. Open it at website, find In contact with and click there. You can connect your page using the button "Entrance"(you will need to give access permission) to always see if you have new messages and other events without going online. You can enter the full version of VK with one click on the rectangle "In contact with", and also quickly open messages, online friends, new comments, etc.
How to open the full version of VKontakte using the link
The full version of VKontakte can be opened directly using this link: Full version. The full version is also called “regular”, “normal”, “web version”, “computer”, “desktop”.
How can I make sure that the link opens the full version of VK, and not the mobile one?
Example.
Was https://m.vk.com/site
It became https://vk.com/site
In exactly the same way, you can correct the address in the browser address bar to open the full version of the same page you are on. You need to click on the address bar, remove the letter m and the period at the beginning, and then click Enter on the keyboard (or button “Go”, “Open” in the browser itself).
Why do you need the full version of VK, why is it better than the mobile one?
Only in the full version are all the features of the site available that are not available in the mobile version or in phone applications. For example, creating a request for support agents. In addition, in the full version there are no restrictions when restoring access to the page and, in general, there are much fewer problems with this - especially with attaching photos and entering a confirmation code. It also makes it easier to understand the reasons for blocking a page and unblock it. Therefore, for such matters, we recommend always using the full version of the VKontakte website.
Why is the mobile version opening?
This usually happens because someone posted a link like m.vk.com...- this letter “m” at the beginning of the link takes 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 end up on mobile. It’s okay, because now you know how to access the full version of VKontakte!
Why doesn't something work in the full version?
Most often, if you have problems with the full version of the VKontakte website, it means you have problems with your browser. Clear temporary files, reinstall it, update or install another one.
