How to hide subscribers on VKontakte

Contents of the article (navigation)

If you are a fairly popular person in narrow circles, or simply cannot refuse anyone, then you will definitely accumulate a significant number of subscribers, which looks ugly. Especially if most of them are “dead”. It is not surprising that sooner or later you will want to get rid of such “garbage”. There is only one way to do this now.

We found only 3 methods to get rid of subscribers

• Blacklist them
• Ask to unsubscribe
• Hide with privacy settings

We will definitely consider each of these methods in our article. But first, let’s find out where they are.

Where can you see your subscribers on VK?

Many people know that they have dead subscribers on VK, but few know where they are. Here's a little instruction:

• Go to VK in full version to your page
• Go to the my friends section
• On the right we look for the friend request item.
• All these people you see are your subscribers.

Well, now we know where they are, let’s now look in detail at how you can hide them, remove them, and generally how to get rid of them.

Ask to unsubscribe

It’s worth saying right away that this method is not very effective and to some extent immoral, since the person wanted to communicate with you as friends, added you as a friend, and for one reason or another you decided that you did not want such communication.

So, for those subscribers who are not blocked, you can go to their pages and write a personal message asking them to unsubscribe from you.

It will look something like this.

But in order not to spoil your karma and not be bothered by conversations with people whose applications you did not approve, we recommend that you use other methods below.

Blacklist

At the moment, VK functionality allows you to hide many things on the page. The question “how to hide subscribers in VK” is quite popular. There is no answer to this question. There is no way to hide a subscriber. The full list can be viewed in the “privacy” section in the settings.

Among them, however, there is no way to hide subscribers from prying eyes. They can be blocked, which will automatically remove them from the list of subscribers or friends; they will not be shown on the page.

Who does the other person follow?

There is no way to see who a friend is following on VK - if you do not have the opportunity to log into the social network on his behalf, you will not be able to obtain this information. If you go to his profile, right under the avatar you will see the “Subscriptions” / “Interesting Pages” section - all the interesting public pages are collected inside, the updates of which the user monitors. This is the only information that may be available to the curious public.

Please note that subscriptions and full-fledged adding as a friend are two different things! Therefore, in order to find out who your friend added as a friend, you will have to perform other manipulations.

Why are VK subscribers not visible?

The most obvious and at the same time the first reason is the lack of users among subscribers. In such a situation, there will not be a single user on the corresponding tab of the “Friends” section. The “Subscribers” widget, which displays the number of people in this list and allows you to view them through a special window, will also disappear from the user page.

If you were followed by a specific user and at some point disappeared from their followers, most likely the reason for this was that they voluntarily unsubscribed from your profile updates. This can only be found out by directly contacting the person with the question.

If the user is added to “Friends”, he will also disappear from the section in question.

Please note that automatic removal of users from subscribers does not occur even in cases where the user receives an “eternal” ban, regardless of the violation. That is, such an incident is, one way or another, connected with your actions or the manipulations of a remote person.

The absence of one or more people in subscribers may be a consequence of their inclusion in the “Black List”. This is the only possible option for deleting people without contacting the account owner.

In addition, if a subscriber himself has added you to the “Black List”, he will automatically unsubscribe from all your updates and disappear from the “Subscribers” list. Any manipulations with the Black List will only be effective if a person is added for a long time.

If you cannot find a person in the list of subscribers of another social network user, but you probably know about his presence, the reason is probably privacy settings. You can use the options on the Privacy page to hide both your friends and your followers.

In addition to everything discussed, subscribers can also disappear from a community with the “Public Page” type. This usually happens when a user is voluntarily unsubscribed or blocked by a configured public protection system.

How to remove VKontakte subscribers from your personal profile and group

Subscriptions – the ability to add friends to keep track of updates from interesting personalities. Before accepting a friend request, a person is a subscriber and these are not always welcome users who you want to see in this section. Therefore, we have to block third-party accounts. We will tell you how to delete VKontakte subscribers in the article.

What are subscribers for?

The number of people subscribed to VKontakte is an important indicator indicating the popularity of a person or page on a social network. The more people sent a friend request, the higher the user's rating. This indicator also determines the person’s position in the list of possible friends in the search section.

You can subscribe in three ways:

• add as a friend;
• subscribe to the user's news to follow his updates on the social network;
• remain a subscriber if you are removed from friends.

Either option guarantees the same result. Only the owner of his VKontakte page can stop the process of growing subscribers.

Subscribers are also needed for:

• making a profit. VKontakte is a working platform for running your business. The more subscribers, the higher the earnings of the page owner;
• promotion of your own resources. Bloggers create their own projects and promote them to the masses. Thanks to subscribers, they can sell goods and services.

How to delete

To remove unwanted subscribers from VK, send users to the blacklist. People included in the emergency situation will not be able to write messages, view the page and follow updates. To permanently remove a person from your contact list on a PC, you must:

1. Log in.
2. Open the main account page.
3. Go to the “Subscribers” section.

   

4. Hover your cursor over a person.
5. Click on the cross that appears next to your profile photo.

There is an alternative way to block people on VKontakte. To remove subscribers from a social network, you need to:

1. Log in.
2. Go to profile settings.

   

3. Select the “Black List” section.
4. Click on the “Add to blacklist” button.

   

5. Select the users you want to block.

If necessary, blocked users can be removed from the blacklist. But in this case, they will not return to the subscribers section.

Canceling the block will give people access to your VKontakte page data.

Delete without adding to the blacklist

There is no way to remove a VKontakte user from subscribers without blacklisting them. If you reapply as a friend, the person would have to be regularly removed from your list of subscribers.

You should not immediately remove it from the blacklist. The system will perceive such an action as false and will automatically return the user to the “Subscribers” section. To prevent this from happening, wait 10-20 minutes from the moment of blocking and safely remove it from the emergency situation.

If this method does not work, proceed without the blacklist. To do this you need:

1. Write to the person and ask him to unsubscribe from the VKontakte page. But the removed user can re-subscribe.
2. Publish on the page an appeal to users asking them to delete their friend requests.
3. Close access to the page.

These options will help stop mass subscriptions from strangers.

How to remove all subscribers from VKontakte at once

Unfortunately, there is no way to remove subscribers from VK right away. To prevent people from appearing in this section, try:

1. Write a post on the VKontakte wall and pin it so that everyone can see it. Statistics have shown that about 40-50% of people who follow account updates cancel their friend request.
2. Contact social network technical support for help. But in this case, the likelihood of successfully getting rid of unwanted subscriptions is minimal. Even VKontakte developers have restrictions on their actions. If agents respond to the request, the issue will not be resolved quickly.

If you don't want other people to see page updates, limit access. To do this, at the time of writing the post, indicate who can see the publication and who is denied access to the post.

Remove subscribers from a group

VKontakte communities are pages where people with common interests and worldviews gather. Groups are created to publish news, sell goods or services. Interested people subscribe and follow the updates.

But sometimes a group gathers a large number of inactive subscribers. These may be people who are no longer interested in the content in the community, but still subscribe to it. It is in the interests of group administrators to get rid of such people so as not to spoil the appearance of real activity.

First of all, this is necessary for earning money. Advertisers are willing to pay group creators to publish their own products. But before contacting the page owner, they carefully analyze the community to assess their audience reach.

For example, there are 1 million people in a community. In this case, advertisers expect to receive a response from at least 30% of people. If only 200 thousand of this number are active, advertising will not be effective. It is in the interest of group administrators to display the actual number of subscribers in order to meet customer requirements.

To remove inactive people from a VKontakte group, you must:

1. Open the desired community.
2. Go to the “Management” section.

   

3. Select "Participants".
4. Find the people you need and click on the “Remove from Community” button.

Monotonous work will take time. There are no official tools that will solve the problem. If you can’t clear the community of inactive people yourself, hire freelancers.

VKontakte subscribers do not always become welcome guests for account and group owners. Thanks to the methods presented, you can remove such people from the “Subscribers” section.

Why can't you get more subscribers?

The question “The number of subscribers in the VKontakte group does not match that” is asked by many network users and community owners. The answer is quite simple - “dogs”. At one time, VKontakte experienced a massive onslaught of bots and offers. Needless to say, even now many people commit the sin of increasing likes, subscribers, and comments. And they will continue to develop their community in this way in 2021.

It is absolutely forbidden to do this! After all, in this way you are killing your account or community. We have already answered how to properly develop a community in this article. Now let’s delve a little deeper into the question. To do this, consider the life cycle of bots or offers:

They created a bot - They sold it to you - Then they sold it to someone else or hacked it - VKontakte eventually realized that it was a bot - VKontakte blocked the bot - A “dog” appeared in your group

As a result, almost all bots get banned over time, and the number of dogs (if you got more subscribers) will grow rapidly! How to determine the real number of living subscribers in a community?

• We go into the community and look at the members section. In this case, we see impressive numbers (this figure reflects absolutely all participants, including dogs). Click on the numbers...
• We have a more detailed list. It still displays the total number of all participants. Click on the magnifying glass in the upper right corner.
• A search window opens in which only live subscribers are now displayed
• With the help of simple calculations in a calculator or mind, we see the number of “dead” accounts in the community
• Now we know how many living subscribers there are, how many “dogs” there are. With such a number, we can quite reasonably say that this community was guilty of cheating bots or offers.

Let's make some noise

We didn’t want the themed “Lurker Week” to be any surprise for our active participants. Moreover, we knew that we would need their participation and assistance in organizing and conducting this experiment. After all, it would be strange if I were the only person our lurkers started interacting with. In short, we needed to make this a global event.

We made the first “noisy post” a month before the start of the experiment. With this post we managed not only to raise a wave of discussion, but also to initially engage part of our community emotionally.

All I did was ask people if they thought the word “lurker” was negative.

We need your opinion... Do you think the word lurker is negative or not?

I prepared in advance by reading several articles on this topic, so the result of the survey was predictable - there were a lot of opinions from those people who do not approve of the term “lurker”. In other words, I hit the target. In many communities, participation is always a hot topic. Therefore, if you ask a similar, “hot” question to ten thousand people, you will get TONS of answers and opinions.

Even though I had to read every comment and discuss the information with my team, the main goal of this post was to get people to start thinking and talking about this topic.

5 working ways to warm up a cold client

It was also surprising that a lot of lurkers themselves participated in the discussion. We didn't expect this, but it was great - after all, they're what all the fuss is about.

By the end, I already had a full-fledged idea in my head and its name - “Lurker Week”. The good news was that no one was upset, and we even saw some appreciative posts from the lurkers themselves.

A week before the event, we made another noteworthy post in which we addressed all members of the community, including our “quiet people”, talked about the plan for the thematic week (one or two posts a day especially for lurkers) and asked the guys to delve into your memory to remember the coolest posts in the entire history of Digital Marketer Engage. The idea was to create a large list of such posts and post it on one of the days of the experiment.

This was another great way to increase the activity of the community in general and lurkers in particular.
