Error 504 VK has nothing to do with the social network, and this is the main difficulty in solving it. In most other cases, users are able to ask support agents for help and wait for their recommendations, but in the current situation, such a solution will not help solve the problem. People faced with such problems have to independently find a way out of the situation and spend their precious time searching for a convenient method of dealing with troubles. However, no one guarantees successful recovery and installation of the program.
Download from Play Market
If a user wants to download VK (VKontakte) on Android for free, then the latest version of the official application is just what he needs. It is better to look for it in the official store. The main thing is that when downloading you have free space on your device, a good quality Internet connection, and modern software.
The advantage of this method is that the program will automatically detect the Android OS number and offer the appropriate VK version - the latest compatible one, and no manual installation is required. This is especially true for phones with outdated OS.
Instructions:
- Go to the Play Market on Android, type the name “VK” in the search bar and click on the search button. or click on the button below.

With this application, you can communicate with friends, listen to your favorite music, watch interesting videos and sit in groups - the capabilities of the application are almost in no way inferior to the full version of the site, and in some ways it is even more convenient.
Important: downloading VK on Adnroid 2 2 (free or paid) is no longer officially possible, the minimum requirements are Android 2.3 and higher. In such cases, users will have to look for a non-official client or use social media. network in a mobile browser.
Issues related to Google Play or Google services
Are you getting an error when installing apps from Google Play? There may be problems with Google services or the app store itself.
Solution
- Open the system settings section, then the application item. Find Google programs and services. Clear cache and data. If that doesn't help, reinstall or update the services.
On the website vk.com
Another method that all social network users undeservedly forget about is downloading from the official VK website. If you open the official website of the social network in the browser on your mobile device, then on the main page at the top you will see a link to download the application.
All you need to do is click on it. The system will automatically redirect you to PlayMarket directly to the desired application. All you have to do is click “Install” and wait for the download to finish.
Third party services
You can download the VK application on your Android phone for free on hundreds of sites, but you will first have to weigh all the risks.
This can be done both in a mobile browser and on a PC, then downloading the apk file to your phone. Do not forget that after downloading the apk, the application will not appear on the phone - first you will need to open the installation file, as well as agree to the installation and the necessary permissions.
Popular sources of apk files:
- Torrents and file sharing services. Such resources are regularly blocked, but most users bypass these restrictions without problems. Large and old torrents are quite reliable and check all uploaded files. On such resources you can find any releases, official and unofficial, for example, download VK for Android 1 1 or 4 4.
- Specialized forums. When downloading an apk from such forums, it is worth assessing both the reliability of the resource and the degree of trust in the specific forum member who posted the file.
- Websites. The most dubious source, especially young resources with a dozen or two pages that offer to download all versions of VK apk for free.
However, even from a trusted resource you can download a virus or a dummy, so it is not recommended to use third-party sites without a good and updated antivirus. This recommendation equally applies to downloading VK on an iPhone.
Often, users look for older versions to bypass restrictions on listening or caching music. But social the network is determined: some older versions have already been blocked (they do not start after installation), the restriction works on most others. Although for now there are a couple of ways to install the second VKontakte application on Android.
Why can't you download music from VKontakte?
Last year, scandalous information appeared in many media about lawsuits against the administration of this social network and, in particular, the creator of VKontakte, Pavel Durov. Many Russian and foreign performers considered that free downloading of their music from VKontakte was a gross violation of copyright law. That is why the administration of the social network had to remove the “Download” button, since otherwise they would have had to pay multimillion-dollar compensation to the performers.
Device requirements
If we compare it with other operating systems of mobile devices, we can safely say that Android owners are very lucky. You can download and install the VK mobile application on Android on almost any model. The requirements for the device are minimal, and most importantly: by downloading the software through official channels, the service will independently determine the optimal version for your device and offer to install it. This, by the way, is another reason to use only legal ways to download the program.
The requirements for the device come down to just a couple of points:
- OS version not lower than 2.3. If your device runs on system 2.2 and lower, then you will have to update it first, and only then download the software to your phone;
- free space on your phone. The exact figure can only be determined based on the data from your operating system. The fact is that the size of the application depends on which version you need to download. For example, on 7.0 you will need 43.36 MB of free space.
The application is not supported by the system version
One of the important requirements during the application installation process is the operating system version. If the developer has implemented support only for Android 6, then the program will be installed on subsequent versions - 7, 8, 9. However, the application will not be installed on earlier versions - 5.1, 5.0, 4.4, etc.
Solution
- If the application does not install from Google Play, try downloading the program from another source. Sometimes developers exaggerate the requirements for installing applications.
- Update your operating system version.
- Ask the developer to include your system version in the list of supported versions. If the program is free, ask for a build that supports your OS version.
Alternative
Many users are not satisfied with the functionality of the official software, so they start looking for alternative solutions. For example, it used to be possible to download the “VK App” on Android - an application with an interface for iOS, but now it is not available in the Play Market.
- Users who want an iPhone interface install a modification of the official SOVA X application.
- But Kate Mobile remains the undisputed leader in the preferences of social network users. The ability to change the theme, stealth mode, work with several accounts at once - all this and much more makes many people choose this application.
VKontakte does not download on Android?
Have you decided to switch to working in the application, but you can’t download it? Don’t panic, most problems can be solved on your own without bombarding technical support with emails. So, what to do if you can’t download the VK application on your Android phone? The most common problems:
- Check your internet connection. Maybe you just forgot to pay your subscription fee or your traffic just ran out? Unfortunately, you won't be able to download the software offline.
- If you have money on your phone and the Internet is working properly, pay attention to the OS version of your smartphone. If it is below 2.3, you should forget about installing the program until the system is updated.
- You may simply not have enough free space on your device.
Knowing these simple points will help you solve the problem yourself in 95% of cases.
Let's recap. In the Play Market and on the Internet, you can not only download the new version of “VK” for Android for free and in Russian, but also download applications from third-party developers. Users are attracted by the interface or advanced features, BUT it is safest to download the official application and use the Play Market for this. Therefore, take care of your data and think twice before using dubious services.
Music doesn't play
Let's look at why the music doesn't work or crashes in Tsarskoe VK. By the way, this lag is the most painful for many users, because they often install this application solely because it lacks restrictions on this section. Alas, the vast majority of other alternative clients have completely disabled the music section.
So, the main reason is the prohibition of copyright holders from free reproduction of their compositions. The only way out is to download the correct version of the royal client to your iPhone. If you install an outdated one, the music will crash or not work at all. Another common problem with this Tsar’s VK is the system message “the limit for audio recording requests has been exceeded.”
We found a Telegram channel that offers the newest and most current version of the royal mod, try installing the client from there:
- Find the App Store + channel in Telegram and subscribe to it;
- Click on the channel name, click on the three dots in the right corner of the display and select "Search". In the search bar, enter the name of the required utility;
- When you find the Royal Mod, click the “Install” button under it;
- You will be redirected to a website where you need to confirm the installation;
- Before launching the utility, open the iPhone settings, go to “General” - “Device Management” - “ALC Education Group” profile - “Trust”;
- Done, now you can launch the utility and log in using your login data from Contact;
- To listen to online music offline, open the application settings and change the ID to Kate Mobile.
- Done, now everything works and does not crash.
This instruction may soon cease to be relevant, therefore, we recommend that you follow the updates of the Telegram channel mentioned above. New patches appear there regularly, perhaps someday the mod will have to be updated.
