Actions of friends in contact. How to remove a person from the list of important friends on VK in three different ways

How VKontakte friends are distributed

Today, the social network Vkontakte is considered the most popular in Russia and the CIS countries. Every day, hundreds of millions of users visit the vk.com website to read news, find out something interesting, listen to music, watch movies and, of course, chat with friends. After all, why, first of all, are we needed? social media? Of course, for communication!

Today the maximum amount for one user is neither more nor less - 10 thousand people, and the average number of people who are on such a list for a socially active user is, according to statistics, 200-300 people.

Looking through these people, many of us think about how VKontakte friends are sorted, how their list is formed and what influences this sequence. Some people go even further in their thinking and want to know how to change the order of VKontakte friends and whether it can be done at all. In this article we will try to answer these and many other questions about the list of VK friends, revealing to you several useful secrets.

Arrangement order

Let's start with a simple one: how are friends located on VKontakte and who is first? If you open the list, you will see that your first friends on VKontakte are those users with whom you communicate most often. Sometimes sorting VKontakte friends can be a little confusing - for example, among your important acquaintances there may be those with whom you have not corresponded for a long time. How so? It's very simple - the communications that influence how people are sorted include not only private messages, as one might think, but also comments on posts, replies, etc. Thus, the first person on the list is not only the one with whom you have the longest correspondence, but also the one whose posts and news are most interesting to you. How to move friends to the top of the display list? Just communicate with them more often, that’s all!

However, there is an exception to this rule - users you added recently are automatically moved to the first 5 VKontakte friends so that you do not lose track of them if they end up at the end of the list. In the future, if you do not communicate with the newly added one too often, he will become one of the first 10 friends on VKontakte, and then the sequence will become standard.

Order online

Another issue is the order of the list online. How is it sorted? It’s very simple - the arrangement of friends in it is the same as in the general sequence, with the only difference being that there are no people who are now offline.

If you use an option such as lists of added people, you will probably be interested in how VKontakte friends are distributed if you add them to the list - for example, "Colleagues" or "Relatives". Everything works the same here: the more messages, likes and replies you are connected with, the higher the acquaintance’s position on the page will be.

The order of people who appear on your page has one, and one more interesting feature. If you go to your page, you will see that the first six people are online and the first six are general list never match. By the way, how are the friends you see in these sequences displayed? Everything follows the same principle - according to the frequency of your communication with them.

From other users

So, everything is more or less clear with our own friends, but what about this question: how are the friends of other users whom we see from our page located? Here, again, everything is simple: the distribution occurs according to the number of mutual acquaintances. What if you and the user whose page you looked at don’t have a single friend in common? Then the order of friends is based on the date of registration.

Changing the order

Well, now we have figured out how such sequences of people are displayed and how friends are distributed in VKontakte. Let's move on to practical issues, the first of which will be: is it possible to change this order? How to move friends in lists and sort them at your own discretion, how to swap friends? Alas, the order, as already mentioned, is set automatically, and currently VKontakte does not have a function that allows you to perform such an operation. If you are interested in how to raise a friend and how to lower him in the general list, then there is only one way - to communicate with this person more often in any form or, conversely, to reduce communication to a minimum.

And now - a couple of interesting and useful options.

Let's start with the useful: as you know, many VKontakte users share their real coordinates, including their mobile phone number, Skype login, as well as links to blogs, etc. However, few people know that there is an application for mobile phones, which allows you to synchronize contacts with VK with notebook in the phone's memory. The application is called "VKontakte Sync" and available for operating system Android.

Now for something interesting: imagine what your list of your acquaintances would look like if you presented it in the form of a graph? Visualization of friends- this is a very real function that the site offers. You only need to allow the application hosted on the site to access your page, and the program will build an interactive friends graph, which displays all your connections between people, visually and informatively.

The last thing I would like to say is that in pursuit of a huge number of added people on VKontakte, do not forget about those who are close to you, and when communicating on the Internet, you should not neglect live communication, because they will never replace real acquaintances!

If you open your friends list, at the top of it you will see the pages of the users with whom you communicate most often, whose pages you view, etc. It is on the basis of these factors that the list of important friends is formed (see).

It is also available to your guests (see). This way, anyone can find out who you prefer.

This doesn't suit everyone. Can anything be done? Yes, you can. Now I'll show you how to remove important friends on VKontakte.

How to remove a person from important VK

This is done by lowering the priority. This is done as follows.

Open the “News” section. Here we need to find the publication the right person. When an entry is found, open the menu for it, in the right top corner, and press "It's not interesting".

The entry will be excluded from the feed, and you will be asked to completely remove the news given user. Click the button "Do not show news XXXX".

After this, we will be informed that the user's priority has been lowered.

Now this user will be removed from important friends and will be lowered in the general list.

Conclusion

This is the simplest, but not the only way. It is enough to start being more active on the pages of other friends. They will automatically rise to the top search positions, and the person we wanted to remove from the list of important ones will drop lower.

Questions?

I think it is useful for many users to know on what basis is the list of VKontakte friends formed? in 2019.

Once upon a time, everything was very simple: whoever had a higher rating was at the very beginning of the list. But times have changed, the rating was canceled, and now friends sorting happens differently.

First of all, go to the “My Friends” section and deal with the list of friends on your page:

Who do we see first on our friends list? That's right, those with whom we communicate most.

The principle of sorting the list of friends: the first will be those friends with whom you most often correspond, but also those whose pages you constantly view, like, and comment on posts.

Thus, the first friend can be one with whom you may not have communicated at all, but always follow his page and (or) be active on it.

But there is a small nuance: users whom you recently added as friends are initially displayed above the rest (usually occupying 5-10 positions in the list). This is done so that you do not lose sight of them.

How the list of friends of other VKontakte users is formed

Now let's consider principle of sorting friends among other VKontakte users. If their list of friends is formed according to the principle described above, then we see friends completely differently.

We open the user's friends list and see the following:

You are the first in the list if this user is your friend. Next are the users who have friends with you: the more mutual friends you have, the higher they are in the list. Even lower are users sorted by date of registration in VKontakte: those who registered earlier are higher.

This is how the list of friends of other users is sorted.

How to change the sort order of your friends list

If you wish, you can promote in the list a certain friend. To do this, it’s enough to communicate with him more often, visit his page, be active (like, repost, comment on posts/photos).

Thus, after a short period of time, the selected user will take first place in the list of your friends. The reverse way Can .

Important friends VKontakte are those friends whose names are located at the very top in the list of friends. The vk.com site “watches” who you communicate with most often, whose pages you visit more often and who you like the most. Based on this data, the most “popular” friends appear at the top of the list. Sometimes it is necessary to remove a friend from top position. I’ll tell you how to do this right now.

How to remove a friend from important friends via feed

In your news feed, find any post from a friend you want to demote from the list. Click on the three dots and select “This is not interesting.”

The news will disappear and a list will appear in its place possible actions. First, click on “Do not show news Person's name”, and then “Cancel”.

Such a simple action will help remove a person from being important (at least for a while (depending on how often you visit the user’s page in the future).

To achieve what you want using this method, you need to temporarily hide your friend’s news. To do this, open his page, select “Actions” under the main photo and select “Hide news.” After the priority of display in the friends list decreases, the action can be canceled.

How to remove important friends on VKontakte on your phone?

The method is similar to the previous one. Through the phone we go to a friend’s page. Click on “Your Friends”. Select the “Hide news” item.

Let's look at several ways in which you can demote any user on your friends list. The simplest is not to be active towards him: do not visit the page, do not write messages, do not comment on photos and posts. Over time, it will be replaced by those people with whom you communicate most often. The main thing is not to maintain any contact, otherwise the plan will not work. You can also always prevent strangers from seeing him among your friends at all.

Demote a friend via news

If you have no time to wait and need to quickly move a friend down a few positions on the list, then you need to mark any news from him as uninteresting. (Read also). This is done as follows. Go to News, look for any post from this user among the posts, hover the mouse over the ellipses and click on It's not interesting

Afterwards, do not show news.

This manipulation will certainly lower your friend on the list. If you don’t want to unsubscribe from his news, you can cancel the action; it will not affect the result. For more quick search, if you have a cluttered news feed, you can use a filter.

Knock out from the top with one click

There is another way, although it will not work immediately, but after a couple of hours. Go to the victim’s page and select from the menu Actions field Hide News.

You can also return the news of this user to your feed and wait for VKontakte to perform the necessary manipulation and demote your friend, knock him out of the top. Choose any method and write reviews in the comments. I hope the information was useful.
