How to give stickers on VK to a friend: an overview of solutions

More recently, new stickers have appeared that you can now not only buy for yourself, but also give them to your friends. There are four sticker sets in total: Smileys, Fruity, Spotty and Peach. All VKontakte users received the first two sets for free, while the other sets were paid.

Now you can not only buy stickers for yourself, but also give VK stickers to your friend, girlfriend, boyfriend, girlfriend or just a good acquaintance. A little later we will tell you how to do this.

How to give stickers to a friend on VK

Everything looks quite simple: you need to start a dialogue with the person to whom you need to send a set of “stickers”. You need to enter the section with emoticons and select the tab with stickers. After this, many packs will appear, under each of them it will be written “9 votes” - this is the price for the set, and a surprise icon. Click on it.

After this, the following window will appear in which you can attach an accompanying message or select a few more friends to receive (the sum of votes is multiplied by the number of users).

If your balance already has the required number of votes, the pack will be sent immediately. If not, you need to choose a convenient payment method and purchase them.

How to give a picture to a friend

There is no point in giving free sets of stickers on VK - anyone can choose them and use them in the functionality of their page. But with paid stickers, everything is a little more complicated, and to the credit of the VK developers, they included the ability to gift paid stickers from one user to another.

There are two ways to give a paid sticker to a VK user:

• By personal correspondence;
• By commenting on a given person’s posts on his page.

Accordingly, if a person has closed the possibility of personal correspondence and leaving comments on his page, you most likely will not be able to give him stickers.

What you need to do to gift paid stickers in VK:

1. Open a dialogue window with the desired person. This can be done either by going to “Messages” and finding there an already existing dialogue with the desired user. Or you can go to his page and click on “Write messages”;
2. Hover your cursor over the smiley face icon at the bottom, and in the window that opens, click on the “Sticker Store” icon (usually at the very bottom right);

   
   Select the sticker store icon

3. A list of sets will open. Under each of them there will be a button indicating the gift. When you hover the cursor over it, the message “Give a set to a friend for the Nth number of votes” will appear;

4. A window will open in which you can type accompanying text for your gift, as well as add other recipients for your paid stickers (the price for them will increase proportionally). Click on the “Give for N-votes” button;

5. You will be taken to the payment page. There is the possibility of paying with a bank card, mobile phone, using electronic money or a payment terminal. After making the payment, the user will be able to use the sticker you paid for.

An alternative gift option is to go to the user’s page and click on “Comment” under any of his posts. Then move the cursor over the smiley icon, select “App Store” and then do everything as described just above.

Giving stickers from a phone is no different from the procedure of giving stickers from a PC.

What are stickers in VK and what are they for?

Launched in March 2014, the sticker service quickly gained wide popularity among VK users. Their use has made it possible to significantly expand the possibilities of conveying one’s emotional state, to avoid the sometimes painstaking selection of words that correspond to one’s mood, and to make epistolary dialogues in VK brighter and more diverse.

The sticker sets offered by the developers are divided into paid and free alternatives. Despite the fact that paid analogues are much brighter and richer than their free counterparts, the level of use of paid options in general is an insignificant 5-10% of the total volume of stickers used by users.

We can use these sets of stickers both independently and as a gift to other people. How to give stickers in VK? Let's consider.

How to send a present from a computer

In the browser version, it’s also easy to send stickers to VK as a gift to a friend. Previously, this could be done through the official store, but now the algorithm has changed a little. To give stickers, you will need to follow these steps:

• Log in and open the page of the user for whom the gift is intended (not necessarily from the list of friends).
• Under your avatar, click the icon with a gift box.

• Scroll down and find "Sets".
• Click “Show all” and select the one you like. After clicking on it, the submission form menu will open.

• Check the “Recipient” window, users can be added/removed. If you wish, you can type a short message, and also check a box if the sender wants to remain anonymous.
• Click "Give".

If there are enough votes in the account, the gift will be sent immediately; if not, a form for replenishing the balance will open. And here it all depends on you: will you buy “currency” or decide to increase votes at your own peril and risk.

It is important to follow the instructions and make a purchase from the recipient’s page, since in the official store you can purchase the set only for yourself. Due to haste, instead of a present, the user may add to his collection of sets and find himself faced with the problem of how to give purchased stickers on VK to a friend. To get out of this situation, you can quickly choose a brand new free gift. This way you will do something nice for your friend and add to your collection of stickers. As a result: no one was left at a loss
