In this article we will tell you how to turn off notifications in VK on your phone and on a social network website. And, if the latter do not bother you too much, then endless SMS, emails and constant notification icons in the smartphone’s curtain are incredibly annoying and distracting.
Also, such alerts affect the rate of battery discharge. Other reasons for wanting to turn them off include the banal possibility of getting burned before your other half. What if one of the notifications that accidentally caught her eye demonstrates your “unclean” deeds on the vastness of the social network? In short, the reasons may be different.
So, let's start figuring out how to turn off VKontakte notifications on your phone and, first of all, let's learn how to manage the notifications section in your profile settings.
Your VKontakte account was logged in via...
If you receive such a message, you need to be very careful. Especially if you did not log into your VKontakte page from other devices. Let's figure it out.
What does it mean you are logged into your account?
This notification may come if (see how to disable VKontakte notifications) if you log into your account from a mobile device or another computer.
If you did not log in, then with a high degree of probability, attackers gained access to your account (see how to hack a VKontakte page). Here you need to proceed as follows.
Go to your page and log out from all devices (see how to log out from all VKontakte devices). This is necessary in order to break all current connections. Including sessions opened by an attacker.
After this, urgently change the password for the page (see how to change the VKontakte password), and enable the double authorization function (see double authorization on VKontakte). This way you will significantly increase the security of the page and will not give an attacker the opportunity to log in, even if he has a username and password.
Feedback from MTS subscribers on this issue
So, what do people who also encountered a similar situation write:
- Tatyana, Moscow. Just a few days ago my relatives and friends started calling me. They asked - what happened? Naturally, I was perplexed. It turns out that my phone was hacked and they started sending mass messages. For example, they sent everyone the phrase “how could you?” and a link that led to an unknown destination. I had to call everyone and tell them that there had been a break-in. I contacted the operator. It seems the problem has been solved.
- Semyon, Sochi. I once encountered a similar situation. For several days, I constantly received such SMS messages on my mobile phone, although I did not go anywhere. I was afraid to call the number listed there. Moreover, follow the link. As a result, I personally visited the operator’s salon. The specialist quickly checked everything, it turned out that there was a short-term failure of the system, which began sending erroneous messages to many people.
- Alena, Samara. When I received such a message, I immediately called the company’s support service at the specified number. The operator asked several questions, and then recommended going to your account and changing the password to a more complex one. Which is what I did, otherwise I used my date of birth. Not surprisingly, such options are easily hacked. After that everything immediately became normal.
- Anton, Petrozavodsk. Somehow I found myself in an unpleasant situation when scammers gained access to my personal account. Fortunately, MTS responded quickly and sent me this SMS. I logged into my account and it turned out that I was subscribed to a bunch of paid services. At the end of the month I would receive a huge bill. I quickly canceled everything and changed my access data. I no longer use simple passwords and don’t share them with anyone.
- Matvey, Orel. My friend works at MTS. Therefore, when such notifications arrive, I first of all call him and ask him to run my number for fraudulent activities associated with him. Only after that I go to my page and change all the data. This service is clearly useful, so you should not try to block it in any way.
That is, judging by the comments of other users, a service of this kind is indeed very necessary and important for people. The main thing is to make sure that the sender is really your mobile operator company, and not an attempt to deceive a person in this way. Therefore, you should always be extremely careful.

friends, tell me how to bypass the entry notification? that is, I logged in from a different IP and so that the owner of the account did not receive a notification that I had logged in
log in under the same session.
If only you log in from the same IP as the owner.
Even when I log in from another browser on the same computer, it notifies me of the login.
The same
If only you log in from the same IP as the owner.
no, you need the same session, the same IP will not help.
no way, even logging in via the API gives an alert
If only you log in from the same IP as the owner.
even if from the same IP. A notification comes every time you authorize your account, whether from your own IP or someone else’s, the same applies to devices
Yes, but besides it, the IP and the client (and its version) must be the same.
Where does this information come from? I regularly use 2 services on my account, notifications only come when I log in from a different browser/IP.
that's the point, if it's a stranger, then the owner will know about your entry
It seems to me that SMS does not arrive only when the owner of the page is online
You need to log in from the same place/name that you logged in to earlier. This way you won't receive a notification!
There is no way yet) there is no way around it
Alas, not like, supposedly new protection

- Be sure to try the solution most beloved by many IT specialists: log out and log back in to your profile;
- Some users complain that notifications on Android disappeared after updating the VK application. We recommend uninstalling and reinstalling the utility;
- Sometimes, notifications cannot be turned on, on the contrary, due to the lack of an update. Find the application in the Play Market and check if the “Update” button is activated there;

Now you know exactly what to do and how to solve the problem. Please note that these instructions are relevant for Android versions from 8 and higher and are basic. Some smartphone manufacturers equip them with their own firmware, so the names of sections and commands may vary slightly. But in general, the algorithm on all devices with this operating system is similar. Happy setup!
Problematic issues with notifications in VK
In fact, dealing with each problem is not difficult. Among them are the following:
- Social network site updates, server overload and other technical issues. You can often encounter something like this when global changes occur in a social network. Many features are unavailable, including push notifications;
- Global account settings failed. Perhaps you yourself or your relatives could accidentally or intentionally change some parameters in VK. The solution to the problem involves checking individual parameters and returning the required values to their original position;
- Changing settings in private conversations with multiple people. The appearance of messages is often annoying and intrusive, so some users turn off certain elements and complain about the lack of pop-up windows;
- The browser does not support java scripts. Of course, this is rare today, but problematic issues do arise. Only one remedy will help here! What exactly, read further in the article.
Technical points: waiting and updating
In this section we will try to solve problems with points No. 1 and 4. As for the first, everything is quite simple here. Updates and system overloads are temporary and you will need to be patient and wait. How long will this inconvenience last? It all depends on the specific situation:
- If a major revision of individual elements of the site is carried out, the process will take up to 8 hours. During this time, individual modules will be rebooted, connections will be established, and functionality will be checked. To keep track of updates, we recommend subscribing to the official development group on VK;
- Server overload can also be a problem when working with notifications. Now the developers have reduced the load on the site, but sometimes it is possible to encounter the phenomenon, especially in the summer. There is only one solution, wait and hope to correct the situation on your own. If red errors occur, we recommend clearing your browser cache.
Applications for working in the web environment are a different story. Some programs do not support java scripts or are simply blocked in global settings. Use different software, reset everything to its original values, or reinstall the latest version of the software. We've sorted this out, now let's move on to the parameters for VKontakte.
How can I sign into my Google account on my device if I have access to settings?
Some users tried to recover their forgotten Google account data using an SMS message. In this case, it is possible to log in, but after some time after completing the settings, the device reboots again and it is no longer possible to log in. If you're still at the stage where you can access your device's settings, you're in luck. The following instructions will help you remove your account from your device and create a new one.
- Open Android settings.
- Find the item “Accounts” or “Accounts”.
- Click on it and select your Google account.
- Then find the button that is responsible for deleting your account and click it.
Confirm deletion. Now you can reboot your device without fear of encountering the system message “ Log into one of the profiles of the owner of this device . ” You can also add a new profile in the same section. To do this, click the “Add account” button. Now you will definitely write down important data from your account in a separate notebook, which will always be in one place.
Adding a Google Account
What to do if there is no access to the system?
The following instruction is an undocumented method to bypass the Android device locking algorithm - FRP Lock. To implement it, you will need a regular Micro-SD flash drive (the volume is not important). It needs to be inserted into your smartphone.
- Another important feature is the need to insert a USB flash drive while the device is turned on. If the battery location and case features do not allow you to do this, you will need an OTG cable. With its help, you can connect a flash drive to the connector intended for charging the battery.
- When you insert the flash disk into the desired cell, a system message will appear on the smartphone screen. In it, the system asks the user if the default memory on the device needs to be changed.
- Click “Yes”. The system takes us to the settings section, where we need to select the default memory.
- Select "Applications and Media" in this window. The device will again take us to the “Applications” section, which are located in the “All” tab.
- Find the “Settings” application here and click on it.
- In this window, scroll down and find the “Run” button.
- The system displays to us the desired device settings. Here again select “Accounts”.
- Select the desired account and click the “Delete” button. Confirm your actions.
- Next, go back and select “DRM licenses”. In the next window, also select “Reset DRM” and confirm your actions.
Resetting DRM settings
Now reboot your device. Make sure that the " Sign in to one of the device owner's accounts " no longer appears. Create a new Google account and record the data from it in a safe place.
Incorrect or broken settings
Often the problem appears due to incorrect or broken parameters. The issue can be resolved through the following steps:
- You need to go to the appropriate section. This is done by clicking on the name icon in the upper right corner;
- In the new “Settings” window, you will need to find the “Notifications” section, after which sliders will appear on the central screen. They must be in the right position. If it's wrong, correct it;
- In the case of mass dialogs, you need to check whether the corresponding function is enabled directly in the dialog. To do this, go to the desired chat, find the three dots at the top, and select “Disable/enable notifications.”
The problem is solved, in some cases you will need to log out and log in and clear the cache. We hope the tips helped and you eliminated the inconvenience. You also need to pay attention that VK uses notifications by email and SMS, we will talk about this in future articles.
The functionality of the social network is designed in such a way that users feel comfortable. Notifications are provided so that the profile owner can receive information about ongoing changes and news. This is very convenient because it allows you to avoid constantly visiting your account to view updates. If VK notifications do not arrive, then the cause of such problems should be established.
Owners of Meizu, Xiaomi and Apple (iPads and iPhones) preferably contact technical support with problems. The reason is failures of push notifications responsible for iOS applications. Some owners of personal profiles have learned to troubleshoot problems themselves:
- Log in to the system again.
- Uninstall the application and install it again.
This method does not help everyone, but most managed to solve the issue this way. It is best to contact customer technical support to determine the true dysfunction and take steps to combat it.
Who sends such an SMS and what does it mean?
So, what is the number indicated in the SMS? It really belongs to MTS, so there is no need to worry in this regard.
Does a notification like this necessarily mean that a hack has occurred? No. There are several other options when you can observe this:
- The subscriber decided to log in from a computer located at a different IP address;
- The subscriber used Incognito or VPN mode on the PC;
- The Internet provider independently changed the user's IP address.
That is, having received this kind of notification, it is recommended to think about whether the person has recently logged into his personal account, and how exactly? It is important to note that a similar text may come if the user has not visited his account for a very long time, or is doing this for the first time.
VKontakte notifications stopped coming to Android
If VKontakte notifications do not arrive on your mobile device, you should check whether the function is enabled in the social network profile and on the device itself. To check the settings on Android:
- Go to the “On the Lock Screen” section.
- Activate the “Show notifications” option.
Most often, the system begins to work unstable after installing updates. It is recommended to manually recheck the settings each time so as not to remain unnotified. Standard updates disrupt settings, requiring additional manipulations from users. This issue will be resolved soon.
VKontakte notifications do not work on iPhone Post
There are notifications in the application itself, but the user does not receive them when the application is closed. This is not about shortcomings of the developers of the social network, but about incorrect settings of the mobile device. The reason is the server. Correct operation occurs only after all necessary adjustments have been made.
The developers are taking measures to eliminate existing problems. Among the main recommendations is the installation of current versions of the program. If all of the above adjustments fix the problem only temporarily, then the problem lies with the server.
Notifications do not arrive in VK in Safari
When you first log into a social network through a browser, you must agree to receive notifications, having previously indicated which of them will give notifications. For correct operation, you should use the latest version. It is recommended to enable automatic updates to ensure the system works correctly.
The reason is a system failure that was not initially foreseen. The solution to this issue is simple:
- Set the correct time zone and time. Incorrect data negatively affects the operation of notifications. To change the parameters, go to the “Settings”, “Auto-detection of time and time zone” section. Select the time zone and date. Reboot the mobile device.
- Enable the “Show Contents” function. Go to “Settings” in the “Protection and blocking” subsection. Select "Show content". In the “Notifications” section, check the connection of the device you are using. If necessary, activate the switch.
- Disable "Background data limitation". Go to the “Options” section and disable active restrictions. After this, notifications will arrive both when Wi-fi is turned on and when you have a mobile Internet connection.
- Turn off energy saving. If the battery is low, many mobile devices activate a power-saving mode. Some applications can be deactivated, including VKontakte.
If notifications stop coming, you should determine the reason and take appropriate measures. If one method does not work, then you should try others.
How to turn off VKontakte notifications from a computer or phone
Not every social network user needs to receive notifications about the latest changes in their profile. To disable this function, you can use both the mobile version and a desktop computer. After deactivation, emails containing the latest events occurring in your profile will no longer be sent to your email.
VKontakte notifications can be disabled by following these steps:
- Go to “Settings” in the “Alerts” section.
- In the “Alerts on the site” item, you should remove the sound.
- In the “E-Mail Alerts” section, uncheck the checkboxes opposite all lines.
You can simply indicate in the “Notification frequency” section that you should never notify. Any of the presented methods is relevant for solving such an issue.
About logging in from another device
The developer does not recommend disabling the notification that the page is being accessed from a different IP address. This approach will allow you to react in time to the actions of scammers and change your password.
To enable this notification you must:
- Go to “Settings” to the “Notifications” section.
- Move the slider to ON opposite the corresponding line.
This notification is an excellent protection against hackers.
About messages
To receive a notification about receiving an incoming message, you should go to settings and check the box next to this item in the appropriate section. Please note that not only a notification that an SMS has been received will be sent to your email, but the text will also be duplicated.
From applications
The most annoying notification is the invitation to various games and applications. Most users specifically disable this feature. If necessary, you can configure to receive messages only from your favorite developers, which is quite convenient for those who take part in the game.
About all events
Before turning off notifications in VK, you should carefully study all possible deactivation options. If you need to turn off all notifications, you can specify “Never receive notifications” in the settings, which is much more convenient than manually checking all the options.
Why don’t I receive notifications in VK on my computer?
When using the social network on a PC, some account owners also experience problems. More often we are talking about malicious software that can be infected when opening an advertisement. It's best to play it safe by installing an antivirus.
- In the “Settings” of the browser, go to the “Clear history” section.
- Restart your PC and check the functionality of the application.
If the problem is not resolved, then you need to go to “Settings” in your personal profile, go to the “Alerts” subsection and check the notifications that are necessary from the proposed list.
How to make VK notifications arrive

- Select the item that shows a magnifying glass.
- Clear history by specifying a time period.
You can ask the developers of the social network why notifications are not received in VK on your phone. Company employees will diagnose and take measures to eliminate the problem. If necessary, the user will receive step-by-step guidance in order to enable notifications.
