Now we have a conversation about the fact that one additional function of the VKontakte social network has appeared: “Possible friends”. This service   will serve as an assistant for the search for possible comrades, everything has been thought out very well here. In this section you will see a huge number of users with whom you are familiar.

VKontakte: friends - location

Some changes have occurred. The familiar function "VKontakte" "Possible friends" disappeared as unnecessary - now you can find friends through the button "Search for people". After clicking on this button, you will immediately see a list of people who may be your friends. In fact, this should simplify the work with VKontakte users. Behind laconicism, as a rule, lies a talent. We will consider the innovation later. Also in addition to this new feature   in the "Friends" section, a kind of book with phone numbers has now been created, where you can see the contacts of people who interest you.

The principle of sorting "Possible friends"


Administrators and developers of this popular social network among young people, naturally, get their salary for good reason. They constantly want to improve VC and make it as convenient as possible for communication and information exchange, so new features and functions are constantly appearing. And now, as we managed to say, the function "Possible friends" has appeared.

But by what principle does this blue button work? Among users there are many versions with answers to this question, but the true one is known, probably, only to developers. Most likely, only those people who your friends already have are on this list.

That is, for example, if you studied with them at the same educational institution, and also completed it in the same year, then, of course, they will be shown by your potential friends if you click on the specified link. If a certain person will be listed as friends not only with one of your friends, but with several, then the likelihood that he will also be on this list is quite high.

The developers made sure that possible friends were represented in the most complete list thanks to the "show others" button. However, many users, clicking on this button, received the same people whom they had already seen in the list earlier, only in a different order.

Of course, someone was more fortunate, and he found many friends and acquaintances on this list. Some users have reported a 95% efficiency feature. And someone did not find any matches at all. That is, completely unfamiliar people were on the list. But this may be due to the fact that there are several people on your friends list whom you do not know. Therefore, in their list there can not be at all those who would be familiar to you.

"VKontakte": "Possible friends" are gone


IN lately   the Internet was literally blown up by reports that the “Possible friends” of “VKontakte” had disappeared. Everyone is interested in where exactly this function disappeared? In the previous order, they shine only to users who have just registered, but here's the misfortune: as soon as their list of friends is replenished at least up to a hundred, “Possible Friends” disappear.

If you don’t know how to see possible VKontakte friends, remember that now you can find this undoubtedly useful function by clicking on the “Friends” column in the left list and then on “Search” on the right side of the screen. Only people with whom you have a lot of friends will be shown in the search, as the VKontakte administration decided that it would be much more convenient and efficient to work with the site.

This function is certainly useful, only it needs a little refinement. After all, there are users who in the privacy settings have hidden their friends. How then to be with them? They think that only they can see their hidden friends, but no, in fact, in “Possible Friends” a completely stranger can see what you have on your list. After all, the VKontakte function “Possible Friends” in any case takes into account users hidden from prying eyes, and developers should definitely think about it.

Criticism from users of the social network in which the update was made


Many people take this update of the social network with hostility because it is too wrong, in their opinion, the developers understand the word "friends", because we usually communicate live with our friends, not VKontakte, right? Perhaps they should call this function “Possible acquaintances”, and then the oblique views and negative reviews would become less. Meanwhile, we figured out where potential VKontakte friends are now.

The question is very interesting. The fact is that with the advent of this function all of you and I were divided into two groups. Some are those who approve of this innovation, others are those who, in principle, do not need this function. So what is it: possible friends VKontakte?

First, you need to start with the fact that when you register, you are pursuing some kind of goal. Either you want to really communicate through a social network, or you just want to see someone’s photos posted on Vkontakte pages, or perhaps you yourself don’t know until the end why you need it. In any case, registration has passed, you have already told the world about yourself and have shown yourself good.

The principle by which possible VKontakte friends are shown

Administrators and developers get their salaries for good reason. They maximize the convenience of communication, information exchange through the Vkontakte network. New features and capabilities are constantly appearing. So here is the button possible friends VKontakte   allows you to look, or maybe you forgot or simply could not find someone with whom you would like to communicate or have talked before. By what principle does this button work? There are many assumptions, a reliable answer is known only to developers. But, most likely, the list of your possible friends includes people who are already considered friends of your friends. That is, if, for example, you studied together at the same educational institution and graduated in one year, then such people will be shown to you by clicking on this link. If a person is friends with several of your friends, more than one or two, he will also be on this list.
  The developers made sure that selection of possible friends was as large as possible, there is a "show others" button. But many, how many did not click on it, constantly got the same ones only in a different order. Someone was more fortunate; he got almost all his friends on this list. Somewhere it says, even from a 95% chance of hitting. And someone didn’t have a single coincidence, that is, all the “left” people were on the list.
  Of course, the function is useful. Only she needs, probably, a little revision, adjustment. After all, there are pages on which friend list   hidden from view. How to deal with them? They think that they hid from everyone, but in fact they don’t. The system takes into account their hidden friends anyway when it filters and weighs the results. "Possible friends". You have to think about it. Many perceive this innovation with hostility because they too literally understand the word "friends". For the most part, we communicate with friends live, not through social networks. Perhaps it would be worth calling this function “possible acquaintances,” there would be less criticism.

What if my friends don’t see my birthday reminder?

  1. Make sure in the main settings of the page (opens in a new window)   You have the correct date of birth and one of the options is selected:
    • "Show date of birth"   or
    • "Show only month and day"
  2. Check your privacy settings (opens in a new window)   - opposite the paragraph “Who sees the basic information of my page”   one of these items should be selected:
    • "All users"
    • "Only friends"
    • Friends and Friends of Friends

If a friend closed the reminder, then this birthday will not be shown to him (but only this one). Others will see him. You cannot influence this, because each user decides how to use the Contact. That is, you can’t set up something for them on the site. Another thing is if a person closed the reminder by accident - of course, after that he may completely forget to congratulate you. This can be considered a flaw, but do not be upset - such a friend can be advised to see friends' birthdays through the "Calendar" (read about this below). In addition, this is not forever - after a while, a friend will again see a reminder of your date.

And remember that real friends remember your birthday and congratulate you on your visit or by calling! After all, before people did without sites like VKontakte and nevertheless congratulated each other on time.

How to see friends' birthdays?

To see all the birthdays of your VKontakte friends this month or any other:

  1. Click "Friends"
  2. In the upper right column next to the words “My friends” click on calendar icon   - a calendar will open that can be flipped by month (triangular buttons left and right). When you hover over the picture, the friend’s name will be shown and how old he will be on this day (or turned).

Even easier you can open the calendar by this link (opens in a new window)   . Bear in mind that some of your friends might not indicate your birthday at all or indicate, but hide - then in this way you won’t be able to recognize it. Therefore, the most reliable option is to ask a friend (or friends) when he was born to write down and put a reminder on the phone for reliability.

Why VKontakte does not show friends' birthdays?

VKontakte usually reminds you of friends’s birthdays under the bell sign:

But sometimes the reminder doesn’t work. Maybe this VKontakte site is buggy, or maybe your friends intentionally hide their birthday so that they are not congratulated by the whole crowd and everyone does not have to answer. We advise you to find out the birthdays of your friends who are really dear to you, and put reminders in mobile phoneso that they are repeated every year. How to do this, you will learn from the instructions for your phone.

Birthday is him, not it! Speak correctly "Birthday was"   and not “was”, because the word “day” has a masculine gender. In addition, the word "birth" is not at all, just imagine! Learn to speak and write correctly, it is useful in life.
