How to update a page in VK on your phone and computer

What's new and good?

But there really is good, no matter what anyone says. After all, everything new is always perceived with hostility.

New menu (More convenient with a larger screen)

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

Now, owners of smartphones with a large screen will find it 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 can be easily clicked with your thumb.

Now all the most important things, friends, likes and reposts, are all collected in one point. There are also notification settings; now you can fine-tune notifications to suit yourself. Leave only what is truly important to you.

Improved search

The new version uses a single input field for search, here you can find a person, group, recordings, videos and music. Search has become more interactive, with an algorithm at the forefront that displays information based on user 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 were the very carefully executed elements under the news, likes, messages, and views. Now they look more harmonious and stylish.

What do you need to get a new version of VK? QR code, which is located at bus stops, shopping centers and cinemas. You don’t have to wipe your glasses or re-read - that’s the way it is. In Moscow and St. Petersburg there are advertisements with a code that you simply need to scan through Vkontakte.

But how to update VK using a QR code if you are a resident of another city - we figured out how to deceive this system. Below is a photo of one of these sources - all you have to do is open the scanner and point at the QR code. Done, you are the owner of a beautiful and stylish application.

How do you like the innovations?

Now it’s too early to give a definite answer, it takes time and this time may force us to get used to the new design and functionality. Welcome pictures telling about new features are made in a disgusting style, where the simple design is 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 debate, better or worse, but we will have to grab a new update, redesign 2021.

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

If, after installing the update, the VKontakte client on Android begins to work with errors, users have a logical desire to remove the updates. You can't just abandon the latest version. To roll back an application, you will have to uninstall it and then install the old version using the APK file.

Problems during update

There may be some problems during the update. Below are the most frequently asked questions and their answers.

Vyacheslav

For several years he worked in mobile phone stores of two large operators. I understand tariffs well and see all the pitfalls. I love gadgets, especially Android ones.

Ask a Question

Question to the expert

Google Play page won't load. Why?

There may be two reasons for this problem. The first is the lack of Internet connection. To restore it, you need to check whether mobile data or Wi-Fi is turned on. The second is to log out of your Google account. To resume displaying the store, you need to re-login to your profile.

The update starts, but an error occurs in the middle of the process... What should I do?

Most often, this problem occurs due to lack of space on the phone’s internal storage. To solve the problem, you need to clear your smartphone’s memory of everything unnecessary. If it supports installing a flash card, some programs can be transferred to it. However, the reason may be different - damage to the internal memory. In this case, the phone will have to be sent in for repair.

The application is not updated because there is no corresponding button in Google Play...

This problem is associated with an outdated version of the Android operating system. If the mobile device allows it, then the firmware must be updated. If not, then installing the latest version of the VKontakte application simply will not work.

The already updated application is unstable, constantly crashes and freezes. What is this?

The problem may be due to two factors. The first is developer errors, which sometimes occur in the first versions of updates. In this case, there is only one way out of the situation - wait for them to be eliminated. The second is the weak hardware of the smartphone. Here, alas, you will need to change your mobile device - it is unlikely that it will be possible to make the updated version of the program work stably in any other way.

An error occurs when launching an updated application that is marked as stopped. How to solve?

The problem is most often caused by a clogged cache or incorrectly set time and date in the system. It is resolved accordingly. That is, clearing the cache in the “Applications” section in the settings, as well as changing the time and date to the correct ones.

Updates are constantly coming out for the VKontakte application. They not only improve the appearance and functionality of the mobile client of the popular social network, but also make its operation much more stable. You can install the latest version of VKontakte for Android in two main ways: through the official Android application store Google Play or using a QR code with a link to the new distribution of the program. Please be aware that some problems may arise during the update. However, the user can solve most of them on his own.

Disable automatic updates

Before you understand how to remove an update to the VK application on Android, you need to prevent programs from updating without your permission.

1. Launch Play Market, call the main menu and go to settings.
2. In the Auto Update option, select Never. Check the box next to the “Notifications – notify about new updates” option.

After disabling auto-updates, applications will not download updates until you allow them. You can install the latest update manually through the Play Market. Go to the “My Applications” section, and you will immediately understand for which programs the developers have released updates - next to them there will be an “Update” button.

VKontakte has released the most radical update in several years

The social network VKontakte announced a large-scale redesign of applications for mobile devices. Representatives of the social network spoke about this during the VK Media Day conference.

According to the developers, over the past three years, such large and radical updates have not been released for customers of the Apple operating system and those who use Android.

The new version has changed the interface of the social network: users will no longer see the side menu, since the main sections have moved to the bottom of the screen.

The main update of the applications is the appearance of the “Recommendations” section, which will work based on the algorithm. It studies the behavioral characteristics of the user and, based on the analysis, selects articles, photographs, videos and live broadcasts, writes Lenta.Ru.

In addition, VKontakte has new features in the form of cards that introduce a content preview function: now the user can see a photo or other item without opening it.

Updates will be available to all users within 24 hours. In addition, by the end of the year, the social network will launch a platform for publishers with the ability to format text and add multimedia content.

Uninstalling a new version

You have prohibited automatic downloading of new versions, but if the program has already been updated, how can you cancel the upgrade? Errors often appear in VK after updates, so there is a need to remove the updates. This can only be done by completely deleting the application from the phone.

System programs have a “Uninstall updates” button in the settings. If you go to the Google Services or Play Market options, you can easily roll them back to their original state. In the case of third-party applications, this is not possible. Therefore, you have to uninstall programs and then install them again, downloading old versions in the form of APK files. To remove VK from Android:

1. Open settings, go to the “Applications” section.
2. Find the VKontakte client in the list. Open its properties.
3. Click "Uninstall" and wait until the uninstallation process completes.

When deleting a client, user data will not be affected, since it is posted on the VK website, and the application is only one way to use the account.

What's new in VKontakte 5 0 for Android and iOS?

Most users of the social network use mobile applications. The innovations concern:

1. Design.
2. Dialog windows.
3. Update screen.

However, the versions for Android and iOS differ insignificantly. The latest changes are aimed at optimizing applications for devices with frameless displays.

Vkontakte 5 0: design

The design of the application has remained virtually unchanged. The developers removed some unnecessary information and also added infographics.

Most attention was paid to displaying a personal account. The main upper part is reserved for the avatar, below is other information and function keys.

VKontakte 5 0: dialogues

The dialog box has been designed to display more information. Moreover, it has the following features:

1. New fonts are being used. VKontakte update was carried out in order to make the application more attractive.
2. More infographics were used.
3. It is now possible to customize the display of information.

You can update VK on your Android phone for free; to do this, you can download the new version automatically through the official application website.

Finding and installing the old version

Only the latest version of the client is available on the Play Market, so there is no point in downloading the application from there. Old versions can be found on forums and specialized sites. Use only trusted sources - for example, the website 4pda.ru, where you can find almost any version of all popular applications and at the same time read how it works.

If we talk specifically about the VK client, then old versions can be found on this page: https://trashbox.ru/link/vkontakte-android. You just need to select the appropriate assembly and download it to your computer. After downloading the installer, one question remains - how to install the program from an APK file on your phone? Separate instructions will be required here.

Instead of a file manager, you can use a browser to install from an APK file. Open it and enter the command “content://com.android.htmlfileprovider/sdcard/FileName.apk” in the address bar. The "sdcard" fragment indicates that the installer file is stored in the root of the SD card. If you placed the APK in another directory, indicate the path to it and be sure to write the file name correctly.

At the bottom of the main page of your profile there is a link located below the item quot;My settingsquot;. Immediately after clicking on the link, the page will reload and the VKontakte design will have a new look. Some social network users complain that they cannot access the coveted link to update the design. In this case, try logging into your profile from another computer or mobile device, as existing viruses may limit the operation of the application.

To update VK on your computer to a new version

, we will need to go to the article about the new design https://new.vk.com/blog/redesign2016. At the bottom of the article, click quot;Join testingquot;. And then I’ll wait for a response from VK.

On April 1, 2021, VKontakte launched an updated version (it was long overdue) of the site design, which was in test mode for some time and was available only to a select few, or to those who wanted to try it. For this purpose, the news blog had a button to submit an application, which, when activated, included a new version for you. At the moment it is included for everyone.

https://vk.com/support - go to popular questions and you will see a question related to the design of VKontakte, click and you will instantly see the updated VK)))

In general, none of the proposed options work anymore. Maybe you can return to the new version if you abandoned it earlier, but if it was not connected to someone initially, then now there is no way - no versions, methods or options work. And through the quot; helpquot; at the top of the page, as suggested here - nothing changes (maybe if someone tested it before and refused, they can still somehow switch back, but for the rest, alas). Even the application for testing is not confirmed. Therefore, all that remains is to wait for mass connection.

Follow the link https://new.vk.com/blog, at the very bottom there will be a button to test or what, I don’t remember exactly, but I think you won’t be mistaken, after which they will write to you via VKontakte messages after a certain period of time, informing you that a new one has been included design, written by the VKontakte team. Personally, they turned it on for me after 2 weeks, I applied on April 1, they turned it on on April 14.

There is a help button at the top, go in and search once, click on the list of questions at the top, click on implementations, and click agree to the new design. Then exit the page and log in again and the new design is ready

New design of the site, the new version of VKontakte is already activated for everyone by default and in order to update VK on your computer to the new version (switch to the new format of the social network), you need to go to your page and click on the button at the bottom quot; Use the new version of the site defaultquot;.

To be honest, I didn’t like the new design: the good old version was cooler, didn’t look like other sites, and the new version is somewhat reminiscent of Facebook.

Indeed, from 2021 it is possible to update VK

to the new version on your computer.
To update VK on your computer

• On the computer, first go to the old version of VK. To do this, open the page and enter your username and password.

The social network VKontakte announced the release of completely updated mobile and iOS devices. Literally everything has changed in them - both new functions for users and a redesigned user interface have appeared. Updated earlier this month.

New for leading mobile platforms, they have lost the side navigation menu, which opens by clicking on the hamburger menu. From now on, the so-called tabbar is used - a single panel at the bottom of the screen, which combines the key functionality of the social network. Thus, users can now switch between news, messages, notifications and search with literally one touch.

In addition, the largest VKontakte update for Android and iOS also introduces completely new recommendations and search sections. They include posts, videos, live broadcasts, stories, communities and personal pages that may be of interest to the user. These will mainly be aspiring musicians, photographers and writers. The recommendations work is based on a new algorithm - with the help of it the social network plans to promote quality content.

The notifications section with a new design now includes all notifications and friend requests - just like in the web version of VKontakte. Also, likes have become red, and the view counter is shown on each post without the need to open a separate post.

The update will be available for installation on Google Play and the App Store within the next 24 hours. Or you can download it on Trashbox.

Quite often lately, users have been wondering why the VKontakte page is constantly updated. On the one hand, there is nothing dangerous in this. But cyclical updating of any website is a huge problem for a person. Sometimes you can’t work with a particular site. So why does this problem occur? And how to deal with it? The best tips and tricks will be presented below. The user himself can decide what is best for him to do. The most important thing is to find the cause of the phenomenon being studied. Sometimes a rolling update is the result of a minor glitch and is fixed quickly. But in some cases, the problem occurs due to serious computer problems!

Full version

You can install VKontakte on your computer through the official application store, but in most cases the web version is used. If necessary, it can be changed as follows:

1. The computer version has been available only in test mode for a long period. To use it, you need to log into your personal account; at the bottom of the settings menu there is a link to switch to the new version.
2. To refresh the page, click on the link, after which it is reloaded.

VK full version is unavailable from time to time, and the page returns to its original form. For some users, the link in question is not available, which is due to the presence of viruses on the computer, the use of an old browser and some other issues. The changes made should make the social network more comfortable to use.

Using the context menu

VKontakte on a PC can be updated using various methods. Despite the use of modern software, not all information changes automatically as it is updated. The most common methods are the following:

1. Right-click and select “Restart”. In this case, the cursor can be hovered over any part of the browser.
2. It is possible to click on the tab, after which the page content will be updated.

The browser has a special key for the corresponding function.

Using hotkeys

Modern browsers can recognize various keystrokes while a window is active. The most commonly used keys are:

1. Pressing the F5 key refreshes the page.
2. The combination “Ctrl+F5” provides for re-downloading all information.

When using hot keys, the task is greatly simplified.

Crash

Why is the VKontakte page constantly updated? Sometimes other sites also start to restart in browsers. The update frequency is about 5 seconds. There is no need to panic, because the first cause of the problem being studied is a system failure. The least dangerous scenario, but it does not occur very often.

System failures are not dangerous for your computer. What could have been the impetus for this? Anything. For example, installing a program. Especially if it is originally intended for the Internet or browser. Solving the auto-update problem in this case is not so difficult. But more on that a little later. First you need to understand why the VKontakte page on your computer is constantly updated.

Browser crash

Why is the VKontakte page constantly updated? The next reason is a browser crash. This option should not be confused with a regular system failure. Indeed, in reality, there is a serious difference between these concepts.

However, if we talk about ways to correct the situation, the methods for a system failure and a browser failure are also different. That is why you will have to learn to distinguish between these options. For the user they are not so significant. Determining what kind of failure is taking place can be very problematic. Therefore, you should first exclude the browser one, and then the system one. How to do it? More on ways to combat the problem a little later.

Browser settings

Why is the VKontakte page constantly updated? Another reason may be the fact that in some applications for accessing the World Wide Web there is such an item as “automatic page refresh”. Most often, the problem being studied is observed in the Chrome browser.

For one reason or another, the named menu item is activated. And then the user’s VKontakte is updated all the time. And not only this page, but in general all the tabs that are just opening. It is easy to guess that the problem can be solved without much difficulty.

How exactly? You just need to turn off this setting in your browser. It is recommended to check all programs for accessing the Internet. If the automatic function is enabled there, you will have to turn it off. No? Then the reason lies in one of the previously listed points. Accordingly, you will have to choose a different method of resolving the situation.

How to update a page on VK

To view changes on the VKontakte page, you need to refresh it. In the article, read about ways to update your VKontakte page.

Method 1. On the VKontakte website

For example, you are viewing news on VK and want to see new posts added. Just click on the "My News" button. The selected section will be updated on the site. By analogy, you can update other sections of VK.

Method 2: Using the browser menu

Almost every browser has a wonderful button, which, as a rule, looks like an arrow curled into a circle. By clicking this icon, the browser will immediately refresh the current page.

Method 3: Using the keyboard

Each browser supports standard keyboard shortcuts that allow you to perform various manipulations. For example, to refresh a page on any site, including VKontakte, press the F5 button on your keyboard (if that doesn’t work, press the hotkey combination Ctrl+F5). The browser will refresh the currently open page.

Update or reinstall

Is Opera's VKontakte page constantly updated? It doesn't matter what browser we're talking about. It has already been said that sometimes browser crashes lead to the problem being studied. And you need to know how to correct the situation.

There are several options. The first is to reinstall the browser. Quite often this method helps. But then you will have to type and save all the data entered into the program again.

The second method is to update your browser. It helps very well when the said software is outdated. In any case, if there has not been an update for a long time, it will not be superfluous.

System rollback

If the VKontakte page is updated all the time and the reason for this is a system failure, then it helps a lot. It is recommended not to use this method if there are suspicions of the presence of serious and dangerous viruses. Indeed, in this case, the rollback will most likely result in a lot of negative consequences. Up to the destruction of the operating system.

At the moment, the function being studied is in “Standard” in Windows. It's called "Recovery Tool". It is recommended to select a rollback point whose creation date corresponds to a time in which the cyclic refresh of pages in the browser was not bothered.

mobile version

In the sick version, most of the information comes without a reboot. You often need to refresh a VKontakte page to change basic information: time of visit, number of friends or subscribers of other accounts.

Via browser

Despite the widespread use of the mobile application, many people use the browser. The developers took care of optimizing the page for various phones and tablets. The page is updated as follows:

1. At the top of the page is the address bar, which often includes a reload button.
2. Some mobile browsers have a main menu that contains the corresponding function.
3. The latest version of the Chrome browser allows you to scroll down to reload the page.

In VK, a lot of information is available from the main page; notifications notify you of its arrival. However, you still have to reboot from time to time.

Via the app

When developing the application, slightly different technologies are used, which significantly increases functionality. The procedure can be carried out in several ways:

1. Scrolling down allows you to update only part of the information: news feed, personal page data.
2. The “Messages” section works automatically. In this case, the notification may appear instantly or after some time, it all depends on the quality of the Internet connection and some other points.

The latest versions of VKontakte work quickly, notifications appear almost instantly.

Cleaning the registry

“VKontakte” is constantly What to do in this case? It is recommended to clean your computer's registry first. And a browser. Namely: history, cookies, cache.

In order to get the system registry working, you must first download a special application. For example, CCleaner. Then it starts, the user clicks on “Analysis”, then on “Cleaning”. A few minutes of waiting and the job is done.

But clearing the browser cache occurs through the settings of the mentioned software. You need to look in the same place where the parameters for storing the history of visited sites and privacy are located. A few mouse clicks and you're done!

VKontakte design: one for all devices

The main idea of ​​the design is a single ecosystem that will make the site at vk.com look brighter, more concise, and most importantly change the usual blue color to white.

new VKontakte design from December 15, 2020

Many people will immediately recognize it because it strongly resembles the design of the VKontakte mobile application. The design of VKontakte was made very similar, so that there was a feeling that it was the same everywhere and that bulky elements did not interfere with communication.

The new design of the VKontakte version for the computer will appear to everyone gradually from October 9, 2021, but it was then that many could turn it on through the profile settings on their page, but there was a limit of 100,000 people as testers. Today, December 15, 2021, VK released an updated VK design for everyone, as they corrected all the errors and decided that it was time!

System files

The next step is working with system files. Both in case of system failures and viruses, this scenario is very helpful. To fix permanent updates, you will need to delete one file.

It is located in the Windows/system32/drivers/etc folder. We are talking about a document called hosts. You need to either delete it (including from the trash) or open it with notepad and then erase all the contents. Of course, the changes remain. Next, the computer is sent to reboot. That's all. Now the pages in the browser should work properly.
