How to add a city
You can add a city in a similar way as we discussed earlier. It won’t be difficult for you to do this in any version of the application.
From phone
- You can also add a city from your phone through the relevant sections that we talked about in the previous section. To add your current location, open editing your profile in VK and go to the “ Contacts».
- If your city is not in the selected list, you can find it through the search.
- You can now select your location from the new list.
- In order to add your hometown, open the “ Basic ” subsection in the same section and enter your hometown. Save at the end.
Enter your city in the “ City ” section and save the entered data.
From computer
- We will also use two sections “Contacts” and “Basic”. Let's open first " Contacts"through the drop-down menu at the top and click on the empty line "City» and select the city we need.
- If you did not find your city in the specified list, then use the option “Another»
- Now you can manually enter your city that was not in the list.
- After this, don't forget to save.
- Immediately go to the “ Basic ” section and add your hometown there. At the end, click on the “ Save ” button.
Changing the locality of VK
We immediately draw your attention to the fact that whatever the city you specify, first of all you will have to set additional privacy settings, providing access to the profile to certain users. However, some data, even excluding this feature, will still be available by default.
In addition to the above, like any similar site, VK provides new users with special tips that allow them to easily set all the desired settings. You should not ignore these types of notifications if you are new to the general functionality of this resource.
Our recommendations are aimed, rather, at changing existing parameters, rather than installing from scratch.
Full version
Today, not counting additional sections, which we will mention later, you can set a city on a VKontakte page using two different methods. However, both methods are not an alternative to each other.
The first of the possible options for setting your place of residence gives you, as a user of this social network, the opportunity to set your hometown. This block of editing parameters should be regarded only as an addition, since it often does not claim a high level of reliability.
- Go to the main page of VKontakte using the “My Page” button and under your profile photo click on the “Edit” button.
Alternatively, you can expand the main menu by clicking on the icon in the upper corner of the working window and switch to the main page of the “Edit” section in the same way.
Scroll down the options page to the Hometown text block.
Change the contents of the specified column according to your requirements.
You can change the contents of this field without any restrictions, indicating not only existing cities and reliable data, but also fictitious settlements.
The field can be left empty if desired.
To make sure the information you entered is correct, as well as to check the display, go to your profile wall.
On the right side of the page, expand the “Show detailed information” block.
In the first section “Basic information” opposite the item “Hometown” you will see what you specified earlier.
It is worth noting that if someone uses the data you provide as a search query on the VKontakte website, your page will be displayed in the results. At the same time, even privacy settings that cover your personal profile as much as possible will not protect you from this phenomenon.
In the future, be careful when entering real data without additional protection from privacy settings!
The second and much more significant method of indicating a city on a VK page is to use the “Contacts” block. Moreover, unlike the previously considered option, the place of residence is significantly limited by actually existing settlements.
Why doesn't the city change?
Usually there should not be any difficulties in changing and adding a new city to VK. But if you encounter this, then most likely you forgot to save the changes you made. This also applies to the mobile version of VKontakte.
Now you know how to change or add a city to VK. Let us remind you that you can do this by editing your profile both on your computer and on your phone. Good luck!

VKontakte location: how to indicate, how to remove
Did you know that if you indicate the VKontakte location on a photo, you can see photos of other people taken in the same place and find out who took them?
And if you have visited a fashionable resort, but you are not comfortable showing off openly, you can unobtrusively indicate the geodata of the photo, and your friends will see a modest Bahama signature next to the photo.
We have prepared a large article for you, from which you will learn a lot of subtleties and useful information about the location of Vkontakte.
Impressions of iOS 11 after a month of testing
Artyom has been dead for almost two years. His sister made sure that his VKontakte profile remained up to date. Analyzing the causes of death can, in principle, be useful for identifying new dangers and developing protective mechanisms.
And in terms of the variety of tombstones, it undoubtedly ranks first. Below the cut you can look at a small selection of monuments that seemed unusual to me.
A large increase in the population of the cemetery city occurred in the 1990s at the expense of rural residents. As of 2012, there were 6,000 “living souls” in the cemetery.
It was a holiday and the cemetery was open until 14.00. We got lost and arrived at 13.55. no longer hoping to say goodbye. The director met us and said: Well, you arrived before 14. So everything can be done. Thank you very much and bow to everyone who works there.

Additional features
Before removing a location in a group on VK, you should first familiarize yourself with the additional functions. The location can be configured:
- Leave open for visibility. Each visitor to the community will be able to view this information if necessary.
- Restrict to group members only.
- Turn off, that is, close for viewing by users of the social network.
You can change your geolocation both from your computer and from your phone. If you encounter any difficulties during the process, you can contact the social network support service.
Quite a large number of users of the social network VK hide their age or city of residence on the page for various reasons, and it becomes very difficult to find out their age on VKontakte. For example, someone simply does not want to reveal their true age and the city in which they live. But often, instead of just asking a person about it, there is a desire to find out in another way - after all, it is not a fact that a truthful answer will follow the question. For users who prefer to find out such information without asking questions, there is a certain list of ways to find out the age of VKontakte.
What is VKontakte location
Location, or otherwise geodata, is information about the user’s location or the place where the photo was taken. Usually this is a location on the map that you can set manually or allow Vkontakte to determine automatically.
You can indicate the location of the photo so that your friends know where you go, or indicate the city where you live so that your old friends can find you, or indicate the geodata of your group if you have an offline business.
In general, it’s a useful thing, no matter how you look at it. Especially for VKontakte targetologists and other advertisers, but this is the topic of another article.
Location determination
VK finds out your location from various sources:
- If you visit a social network while at home, your Internet provider provides geoinformation.
- Using your mobile operator. It determines the coordinates where you are with high accuracy. The error is about 150 meters.
- Using your mobile device with a built-in GPS navigator. It is found in modern gadgets. Only it must be activated.
Using these simple methods, the social network determines your location.
Location in photo
How to specify the location on VKontakte

Indicate the VKontakte location in the photo
If you indicate a location for the first time, VKontakte will ask you if you allow it to find out this data.
If you are currently in the same place where the photo was taken, you can allow it , then VKontakte itself will determine and indicate the place.
If you are no longer in the place where the photo was taken, then refuse and click block and you will be able to indicate the place on the map yourself, place the sight icon with the mouse cursor.
VK requests location data
If you chose to allow and VKontakte correctly determined the geodata, then click Save location and it will appear in the description of your photo.
If for some reason VKontakte incorrectly determines your address or you refuse to determine it, then a world map will open in front of you, on which you can select a place visually or enter the name of the city and street in the search bar at the top.
Selecting the VK location yourself on the map

You can use the slider on the right to zoom out or zoom in.
You can also drag the map by pressing it with the left mouse button.

How to disable geolocation in VK if you once allowed it and forgot where you did it.
This item is not easy to find at first glance. But in practice this is not the case.

Now close the photo or refresh the page in your browser.
After you specify the location again, VKontakte will ask you Allow automatic detection or block , and now you can choose what you need.
Videos in contact and their sorting.
The VKontakte developers came up with a surprisingly convenient thing - sorting videos into folders. Now contact users no longer need to scroll through hundreds of videos in search of the one they need. To categorize the video:
- Go to the “My Videos” section.
- At the top right, find the inscription “New Album”.
By clicking on it, you will need to enter the name of the album and in the future, add your videos to it. To sort existing videos into new folders, hover over the video thumbnail and click on the pencil that appears. In the new window, select the album in which the specified video will be located.

How to change the city in your profile

How to change your residence address in contact
The menu section Contacts .
Click in the Home at the address indicated there and select another.

To change the city or street in the home line, you can go to the menu in the upper right corner of the page, next to your little avatar.

Geotargeting capabilities
Geotargeting is a type of targeted advertising in which ads are shown only to people who meet certain characteristics (gender, age, hobbies, profession and others, in our case, geographic location).
Geodata in social networks is based on where the user is most often, and not on where he is registered, so even if the IP address does not correspond to the place of residence (and this often happens), geotargeting will work correctly.
In the advertising accounts of VKontakte and Facebook, you can set up geotargeting by countries, cities or points on the map. When choosing a location, the system automatically calculates the reach of users and recommends a price per click or per 1000 impressions.
Targeting by points on the map
Points are a tool you use when working with a map. You look for the desired area, place a point and determine the radius around it. Everyone within this radius will be able to see your ad.
On VKontakte, the minimum radius around a point is 500 m, and the maximum is 100 km, this makes it possible to work even with individual large objects (shopping centers, factories, sports facilities).
In order to show advertising not to everyone within the selected area, there are three or four more types of audience to choose from, depending on the type of advertisement: those who work in the selected location, live, regularly visit or are present right now (for advertising community posts).
Geotargeting VKontakte
Facebook works with dots on the same principle. Radiuses range from 1 km to 80 km, but here the system controls the coverage and does not allow the use of small radii where the population is not dense enough. Therefore, on Facebook with a small territory you can work only in the largest cities.
Geotargeting on Facebook, point with a radius of 1 km in Moscow City
Geotargeting on Facebook, point with a radius of 1 km in Nizhny Novgorod
Facebook identifies 4 types of people where advertisements are displayed. You can also show ads to those who are near the point right now (for some types of purposes).
Targeting by countries and cities
This is an option without dots, when you simply find the desired country, district or city in the search and segment the audience within it on other (non-geographical) grounds.
You can select several cities and create a common advertising campaign for them. Or select the entire country and exclude regions that you do not need.

How to add a location/address in a group
This function is very necessary for VKontakte group owners who have their own offline business.
Be sure to include the address of your company if you have an office, so that clients know where you are and where they can come. This will greatly increase customer loyalty.
Plus, adding a group location is not difficult at all.
Go to the Manage in your group panel
Control section in the group panel
Then in the Addresses and there in the Address set the value to Enabled .
Leave the Show map . This looks good in a group and adds convenience, especially if it is not clear how to get to you, but everything is clearly visible on the map.
Click below on +Add address.
A map will appear, check if everything is correct and click save .
This card will now appear on your group page in the Information section.
It should look like this.

FAQ
Is it possible to find out a person's location by ID?
If you are not his friend, then you can’t.
There is one way. Through the invisible logger iplogger.ru.
Let us briefly explain the essence, since the topic is beyond the scope of this article.
Any page is created, the point is that there is an address where to go. This page contains a special counter that records the IP address of the user who visits there.
If it doesn’t matter under what pretext you ask the desired user to follow this link, then you will receive his IP address, and from the address you can calculate the city. For example, introduce yourself as an employer or make some interesting offer.
2 conditions must be met:
- The person does not use an anonymizer;
- The provider through which the person works is located in the same city.
That is, there are not many chances, to be honest. But if you really need to find a certain person, then you can try. For example, if it is a scammer.

The method is that you need to find the person in the calendar and look at the age there. To find out your age, go to the VKontakte calendar. For those who don’t know how to go to the calendar, here is the link: https://vkontakte.ru/events.php?tab=calendar. Or go to your friends list and select “Birthdays” in the menu on the right side. After this, a calendar opens in front of you. When you hover over a photo of any user, it enlarges and the name is written under the photo. If the user has entered the year of his birth, his age will be displayed under his photo in addition to his name. If a person has not entered his date of birth, he will not be displayed in the calendar. Thus, you have the opportunity to find out the age in VKontakte.
