Why delay posting?
If you still don’t know exactly what a “delay” is, I’ll explain. This is when you completely prepare new information for publication, but do not post it at the same moment, but set the day and time when it will appear on your wall and become available to other users.
This useful feature may be needed by any person who shares news on a personal page or in a group.
Delayed posting helps:
- post messages on the wall at a time convenient for you so that they are seen by as many people as possible at the appointed time;
- prepare and post several messages at once, without being distracted by each one separately, which significantly saves time.
This tool is especially useful for those who are engaged in filling groups and communities or promoting a personal page.
How to bypass the limit?
For some users, 20 messages per day to non-friends will be quite enough. For others, this will not be enough. What to do in such situations? How can I remove this restriction?
I’ll say right away that you can’t send more than 20 messages to non-friends in a day. At least from one account. Therefore, if you want to bypass this limit, create additional VK pages. There are two ways to do this: buy or register yourself. If you don’t have free phone numbers to register a new account and the money to buy it, ask one of your friends to write to the right person.
Another way to get around this restriction is to first add the user as a friend. This is exactly the algorithm of action I suggest you use. Firstly, you will not send unnecessary messages to “enemies”, which will allow you to avoid approaching the limit. Secondly, you will be able to avoid unnecessary suspicion on the part of the site administration, since sending DMs to people not from your friends list is a much more suspicious activity.
And in general, it’s always worth trying to send a friend request first. And only if it is not accepted, send a PM.
We also recommend reading “Programs for working with messages in VK: how to choose and use.”
Today I told you about how many messages on VKontakte you can send to non-friends. Now you know about this and other limits, as well as some ways to bypass them.
There is an article about limits in Odnoklassniki on our website.

Making a delayed post on VKontakte
We prepare information as when posting a regular post: text, photo, video. Everything you want to share with your friends and followers.
Now, instead of clicking the “Submit” button and publishing the material right now, we select a date and time in the future.
Then we confirm our desire to put the “Queue” entry.
The rules of the social network VKontakte provide for posting up to 25 such posts per 1 day, Moscow time. In total, you can make up to 150 posts in the future on your wall or in the community.
In the VKontakte group, everything is done in exactly the same way; there are no differences from publishing on a personal page, except for the ability to sign and mark advertising messages.
And, of course, to add materials you must have the appropriate rights in the community.
What is the limit of VKontakte friends?
It is also important to know the VKontakte friend limit . This applies to both their total maximum number and the number of additions per day. The limit on the number of VKontakte friends is 10,000 people. Moreover, the total amount is calculated based on the number of applications sent for additions with existing friends on the list.
With subscribers, everything is different. Any number of people can follow you; there are no limits or restrictions. By the way, have you noticed that when you subscribe to some users, their page is displayed in the “Interesting Pages” lists? So, in order for your page to be displayed to subscribers in the same block, the total number of subscribers must be at least 1000 people. Read here how to get VKontakte subscribers.
The limit for adding friends on VKontakte is 50 people per day. However, if you add the maximum number of friends for several days in a row, your page will be frozen. I recommend inviting an average of 30 people per day, with a different number every day (today 29, tomorrow 31, and so on). This helps avoid blockages. Read this article to learn how to make friends on VKontakte.

When promoting your VKontakte group, you may encounter another limit - the limit on the number of invitations to groups . Once a day you can invite 40 people to the group. We've probably all seen that annoying message like the one in the picture below.
It is very easy to bypass this VKontakte limit. Please note that the message refers to the invitation limit per day, not per day. So you can safely invite 80 people in two visits - once in the morning, once in the evening. Moreover, I have never received a block for this, although I have been doing this every day for a long time.
Delayed repost
This publication option may also interest you. You can go through interesting public pages and repost useful materials for several days in advance.
We find a suitable news and click on the icon in the form of a curly arrow.
In the window that appears, configure the post parameters, click on the word “More” and set the time on the timer.
This message has now appeared in your scheduled list.
How to schedule a post in the mobile app
We log into the program via phone or tablet, go to our profile or group where we plan to post a post. We type the text of the message, attach a file, add a photo or video. In general, we are preparing news. Then click on the word “Now” and select the publication date and time.
When everything is ready, click on the “bird” at the top right.
Now a line appears above the wall indicating the number of planned posts.
If you click on this line, a list of prepared materials will open. By clicking on the 3 dots in the corner, you can edit it, publish it, delete it, or copy the link to the clipboard.
So we figured out how to postpone a recording using the functions of the VKontakte website. Now let’s touch a little on the topic of software products that are worth adopting if you often create news in advance on VK and other social networks.
Services for creating deferred records
When you need to make a lot of publications, and not on one social network, but on several, special programs come to the rescue for posting messages in the future on different pages.
SmmBox
This is a product that beginners should start with to evaluate the capabilities, ease of use, and time savings. The site provides 14 days of free trial use. You can post entries to 8 social networks at once.
So, go to the SmmBox website and click the big red button.
Now you need to log in via a social network. I choose VKontakte.
After that, we allow the application to access information in the account so that posts can be published through it.
Now let’s get acquainted with the capabilities of the service and you can get to work.
In your personal account, you can connect other social networks Odnoklassniki, Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Telegram, Pinterest, Tumblr. Immediately after authorization via VKontakte, posting news on your personal page becomes available. You can also add groups in which you plan to post.
On the left in the office there is the main menu. We are now interested in creating a deferred post.
In the window that opens, type the text and attach all the necessary additions: photos, videos, articles, etc. In the menu on the right you need to select which pages the information will be posted on and the date of publication.
If you want to view already scheduled posts, select “Pending Posts” from the menu on the left.
This service is also interesting because you can install a browser extension. It makes it possible to take materials from any resource and, without going to the service’s website, make notes and put them in a queue.
Let me remind you that you have 14 days of a free period to learn and evaluate all the features of this program. For further use, a monthly payment will be charged from 290 to 590 rubles. depending on volumes. If you fill no more than 5 groups, then the minimum rate will do.
Other services
There are other similar products that allow you to quickly and conveniently fill communities on VK with content:
- RePublic,
- SMMR,
- VK-poster,
- Amplifier,

VKAccountsManager has no restrictions, but during operation you may encounter VKontakte restrictions, which are better to know in advance. Let's start with the most important limitations of VKontakte for SMM specialists.
