Good afternoon friends. In this article, we will learn how to find a person on VKontakte in all possible ways.
Here, by default, the first is the "People" tab. Let's imagine that we want to find Baba Yaga in VK. We drive into the search field "Baba Yaga" and press Enter. A list of all the people with the initials “Baba Yaga” on the social network will appear.
We see that a list of people with such initials has appeared. Above near the word "People" is the total number of found - in our case 613. You can also use it - for this, in the field at the top you need to drive in the initials of the user we are going to look for.
Press Enter and get to the same search page. Only the top window is used to search for all criteria (music, people, videos, communities, etc.). To find a specific person, you need to select the “People” tab - and then we will go to the list of people with the initials “Baba Yaga”. Or, right on the page, select the "People" section and click on the "Show all" link.
After we went to the general list of all found people in VK with similar initials, it is inconvenient to manually search and select among a large number of people. There is an advanced search for this.
Advanced search VKontakte
There are additional tools for quick search among people. Take a look at the right side of the window - there is advanced search menu of people.
Here we can select various filters such as:
- popularity and registration date;
- country and city;
- school and university;
- age and gender;
- marital status;
- work, military service, etc.
Let's imagine that we need to find a certain Baba Yaga in St. Petersburg. We also know that she is female and studied at the Baltic Institute of Foreign Languages (BIIYAMS). We indicate in the left column of the advanced settings all the necessary data: country (Russia), city (St. Petersburg), university (BIIIYAMS), gender - female, put a tick - with a photo.
We see that there is one user. We have introduced an abstract or, but when you enter a real person and find several criteria by criteria, of which you can identify the desired user by the photo or profile data on his page. All that remains is to add him as a friend and.
Sometimes it happens that according to the given criteria there are not 1-2 users, but a lot. Then, in the panel of advanced parameters, you will have to narrow the circle of people by entering additional data known about the desired friend.
Other ways to find a person on VKontakte
Above, we discussed the common and most common way to find people. But there are other opportunities to find a person on VKontakte.
Social circle search
Imagine a situation when you cannot find a person on VKontakte using a search, but you know for sure that he can be friends with your friend. To do this, go to the friend's page and look at the list of his friends.
You can just go through the list and find the person you want. But it's easier to drive his initials into a text string:
Let's say we are looking for a certain Pavel Shcherbakov in VK, knowing in advance that this user should be friends with our friend. We hammer in the initials into the search bar and find the one we were looking for.
By the way, you are immediately allowed to use the advanced parameters. To do this, open the drop-down list “Parameters” and set the required ones.
Search for people on VKontakte by place of work, study, military service, interests, etc.
For many, on their personal page, the profile indicates: date and year of birth, hometown, place of work or study, school or university in which the person studied, military unit where he served in the army, interests, etc. If you noticed, then any infa in these fields is framed in the form of links:
If you click on any of these links, then you will be taken to a list of people on the search page who have set exactly the same settings in their profile information. If you click on “Kazan” opposite “City”, then you will go to the list of people who live in Kazan or consider Kazan their hometown. So you are looking for a friend in the city. If in the marital status section you click on “in active search”, then VK will give you a list of all people who have given themselves such a status. So you can search for yourself a girl / boyfriend to meet, then sorting people by gender, age and city. If you select Gymnasium # 17 in the “School” item, you will see a list of people who study there or once studied there. This is how you can track down your schoolmates.
In the same way, you can find people in VK at the place of work or former colleagues by the number of the military unit. Sometimes it happens that people automatically fill in the information about the profile, and then accidentally follow the link (for example, “Military unit No. 63791) and find their colleagues after a few years.
Search for a person on VKontakte by photo
The first way to find a person on VKontakte from a photo is use Yandex or Google image search... Let's take a look at Google as an example.
1. We drive Ivan Ivanov VKontakte into the Google line, select the "Pictures" tab and look at the photos. Here, we immediately found the person we needed.
2. We select the photo we need and follow the link of the photo to the user's page on the social network.
As you can see, sometimes this way it will turn out pretty quickly to find people from a photo.
But it is not always possible to find people quickly. In this case, we try to search by thematic groups. It often happens that many schools, universities, firms, townships and even cities have their own groups. Imagine that you are looking for a former classmate from school # 22 in the city of Cherepovets, and you have a photo of him.
Trying join the group and suggest news(if the wall is open for group members): for example, I am looking for such and such, their name is such and such, studied since (indicate the years), attach a photo. If someone knows the person you need, he can unsubscribe in the comments, or maybe your classmate himself will respond. 🙂
How to find a person through advanced Yandex or Google search
You can try to search for people on VK using Yandex or Google advanced search. Let's see how to do this using Yandex as an example.
1. Without filling in the search engine line, press the "Find" button or simply follow the link Next, select the advanced search.
2. We fill in the necessary fields: we indicate the region and the site vk.com, in the field we enter the initials of a friend and we see that Yandex has found the right person on the site.
How to find a person on VKontakte without registering on the site
The site has the ability to search for a person without entering the site (or without registering). But if you just type a link in the address bar of your browser, you will be taken to the login page. You need to immediately insert the link into the address bar:
Now we find ourselves on the VKontakte search page without authorization on the site. Now we enter the initials of the desired friend, and in the advanced parameters column we set all the required filter parameters.
Then just go to the page of the found person and look at information about him. You can find out everything you need about him if his page has the information you need or copy the link so that you can add him to your friends later. Until you are not, you will not be able to add the user to your friends or, and under the avatar a warning “Please enter the site or register to write a message” will be displayed.
That's all for today. Now you know how to find a person on VKontakte in various ways. I wish you good luck and pleasant communication!
This page will help you quickly and without registration find and open a person's VKontakte page, if you know his name and surname, or even better - the address (country, city), age (or year of birth), place of study or work.

How to find a person on VKontakte by mobile phone number
Usually, such information is a secret, because the VK administration cares about the safety of its users. But you will find a person by phone if he himself indicated the number on his page (opened for everyone). Try it right from here:
Search for a person on VKontakte by phone number
If the phone number was listed on the page, enter it here (for example, +79001234567 ) and click "Find".
There are also ways to search in VK by the linked phone number (through "possible friends"), but they do not guarantee that you will find a person. After all, the page can be tied to its other number, which you do not know. In addition, he could prohibit finding him by number. However, these are the ways:
Search by number through the VK mobile application
You can try to find a person by number through the VK mobile application on Android:
- Write down the person's number in the phone book on your phone (in "Contacts").
- Install the VKontakte application for Android on your phone.
- Go to the application.
- Go to the menu "Friends".
- Click on + (a plus) up.
- Click "Contacts - Find friends in your notebook".
- A confirmation will appear - click "Yes".
- Wait a while, and you will see all the people whose numbers are stored on your phone and who are not yet your friends in VK - among them there must be the person you are looking for.
How to punch a person in VK by number (another way)
VK offers you possible acquaintances from contacts on the phone. This method uses a blank smartphone with an empty contact list.
- You take your smartphone (after reset).
- You buy a SIM card.
- Enter the phone number that you want to punch into the address book (contacts).
- Install the official VK application.
- Give him access to contacts on the phone.
- You register a new page.
- You wait, and after a while VK will start showing you in your “possible friends” the page of the person you have in your contacts. Since he is alone, there is no need to guess.
Search through VK password recovery
There is also a small opportunity to find a person by cell number through VKontakte password recovery. But for this you need to know the surname. If you exit VK, click "Forgot your password", then correctly enter the phone number and surname of the person, then the site will show the name, surname and city. Previously, it was possible to immediately recognize a link to a person's page, but this feature was removed long ago. Therefore, such a search will not give anything new - if you know the number and surname, then you probably know both the city and the name - which means you can find a person, as described above, at the very beginning.
How to find a person on VKontakte at the address of residence
As for the address, VKontakte users usually indicate their country and city (some are also their hometown where they were born), and at the top you can search for this data, just first indicate the name and / or surname of the person at the top and click "Find". When the search box opens, select your country and city. There is no more accurate data - street, house, apartment - on the VK website.
How to find a person on VKontakte at the university
When searching for a person, the full version of VK does not allow you to select a university (university) until a country and city are selected. If you do not know exactly where a person lives, and want to search only by the university he graduated from, this can be done through the mobile version of VK.
Isn't it remarkable that nowadays it is possible to communicate infinitely through the Internet? Our letters are not delivered to the addressee for several weeks or even months across the planet, in order to tell about how our day went, today for this we just need to click the mouse.

We do not languish in anticipation of a letter, but we can endlessly communicate via video link with each other every day. All this helps us to stay in touch with loved ones.
Virtual friends
Communicating on social networks with our friends and relatives, we often come across the pages of people from other cities, countries living several thousand kilometers away. Virtual communication that has no boundaries and erases the distance allows us to view their pages, follow their life on the Web and, of course, communicate and make friends.
Friendship on the Internet is romantic, mysterious and has many advantages, but the Network cannot provide us with the opportunity to take our friend by the hand, hug him.

With the spread of the Internet, many of us began to spend more time in front of the monitor and less live communication. It is a fact. But not everything is so simple. The web is just a tool and everyone uses it differently.
On the Internet, you can see both a refuge from the real world and a powerful means of socialization. The platforms and services, which will be discussed below, introduce a huge number of people every day. Today you can make friends there.
Find friends in online communities
Internet forums, chats in messengers like WhatsApp and Telegram, public pages and groups on Facebook, VKontakte, Odnoklassniki and other social networks are all platforms for effectively finding new acquaintances.
You just need to choose the right community, which may include people of interest to you, and unobtrusively invite them to get acquainted. Nothing complicated.
If you live in a small town, look for a community based on geography. In large social networks, almost every settlement has local groups like "Typical Bryansk" or "Overheard in Chernigov", where you can communicate with fellow countrymen. To find such a group, you just need to enter the name of your settlement in the service search.
When you find a community, look at its description, read the posts of other users. So you will find out how dating takes place here. Most often, participants directly publish a brief information about themselves with an offer to get acquainted. On VKontakte, such data is usually sent to administrators, who already post it for the rest of the group on behalf of the sender. You can reply to one of these publications or leave your own.
If you are from a large city, then it makes sense to look for a community of interests, without reference to a locality. This can be a chat for discussing cinematography, a public about fishing, or a forum about bodybuilding. Choose what is closer to you.
The main thing is that your city is big and your community is popular. Then your "neighbors" will surely be found among his audience.
In communities of interest, so-called gatherings are popular - mass meetings of participants for acquaintances and spending time together. Such events are organized by the participants themselves or by the administration. An example is the meetings of users of LiveLib, a social platform for book lovers. But before you go to such an event, prove yourself on the site. Participate in discussions, make your own publications - let them notice you and be mistaken for their own.
Some communities of interest have special sections for dating. For example, on the site of the humorous platform Pikabu there is a popular thread called "Dating League". Participants from different cities and countries tell about themselves here and offer to meet offline. After free registration, you can write to someone who interests you, or publish your profile.
Find friends through dating services
The web is full of services designed specifically for dating. Most often, with their help, they are looking for partners for sex or romantic relationships, but nothing prevents you from looking for friends in this way.
Find friends in online games
If you've never played multiplayer games, then you may not suspect how strong social bonds they create between players. In virtual worlds, they find not only real friends, but even future husbands and wives.
Games like Destiny, Overwatch, and World of Warcraft create situations in which you have to interact with strangers. You join forces with other players for common goals and experience joint adventures. In such conditions, it is easy to get close and find common topics of conversation. If you wish, you can continue to communicate in the real world.
If you are dating online, do not forget about netiquette
- Tidy up your internet profile. Remove posts and pictures that make you seem worse than you really are.
- When publishing your profile for future friends, succinctly describe your qualities, dating goals and interests.
- Try to write correctly, use punctuation marks.
- Don't overuse emoticons, exclamation marks, and capital letters.
- Don't split your message into multiple parts unnecessarily. Finish the thought, and then send, so as not to annoy the other person with a stream of notifications.
- Avoid trivial lines like "Hello, how are you?"
- Don't swear.
- Don't joke dirty.
- Do not argue over trifles, respect the point of view of the interlocutor.
- Be polite.
If your communication from the virtual world goes into the real one (which is exactly what you want, right?), You will probably need the advice from the next paragraph.
Find offline friends
If you are a person of the old school and do not like all these virtual things, then you can always find interesting people in the real world.
Look for friends at school or work
Schools, universities and offices are the places where people usually make new acquaintances. But since you are reading this article, it means that this option did not work in your case.
If there are people in the team with whom you are not averse to making friends, but no one shows initiative, take it into your own hands. Talk to your boss about joint activities such as an after-work trip to an anti-cafe or bar. You can simply suggest these options directly to your colleagues. An informal atmosphere will create the preconditions for friendly relations.
If you study or work remotely, or there are no like-minded people in the team, there remains a radical way - or study. But before taking decisive action, try the next option.
Find friends in local sections and clubs of interest
Another old-fashioned way to find friends is to sign up for the sports section. It is advisable to choose a team sport like football, hockey or handball. Alternatively, you can think of dancing.
If you don't like active sports, try to find a hobby club. This could be a place where board games are played or literature is discussed. Choose based on your interests: this will help you find like-minded people. The addresses of such clubs are usually found on the Internet.
Be mindful of manners when communicating in person.
- Before meeting, think about how to make the most of your time. Offer your options to new acquaintances. Ask if they have any suggestions.
- Don't be late for appointments: no one likes to wait.
- Do not violate the personal space of the person.
- Be open to new places, activities and travel.
- Use to please the other person.
We hope these tips will help you find new friends. We will be glad if you share your experience.
