How to make important friends on VK. How to find out important friends on VK from a friend

Many young Internet users are wondering: is it possible to find out the list of best friends from your friend on VK? Or did one of my friends put me in the important category? In this article, I will answer these questions and share my experience in identifying important friends among my acquaintances on the VKontakte social network. First, you need to figure out what these terms actually mean.

Who will we classify as important friends?

Important (best) friends in VK are formed from a general list with whom the account owner most often communicates. This does not mean that personal correspondence is meant. The word “communication” refers to all types of activity performed in relation to a specific VKontakte user.

This includes:

1. View new photos and latest news;
2. Writing comments;
3. Reposting;
4. Frequent visits to the page;
5. Likes.

With all this, activity can be expressed not on one side, but on both. That is, when a friend from the user’s list opens his page, writes a comment there, leaves a like on the photo, he is automatically added to the group of best friends.

In addition, all people recently added to your friends list will remain in the best group for a certain period. This will remain so until the system determines that the owners of both accounts do not express any interest in each other’s records.

All best friends are at the top of the general list of friends. Newly added people are moved to the top of the list so that the user doesn't lose sight of them or forget about them.

Is it possible to determine who a user's best friends are?

You can determine how important a friend is from the list of friends of another user in VK by reading the list of his friends. But this will not be a one hundred percent guarantee that they are actually important to him.

Perhaps he just recently added them to his list, or they themselves showed attention to this user. After all, as we remember, to get into the “important” category, you just need to go to your friend’s page and write a comment there or like it.

Take a closer look at your list of friends, and you will also notice on the top lines those people with whom you have not even communicated today and have not visited their pages for several days.

It is likely that they are your “fans”; they are interested in what you write on your wall and what you publish on your page. By being active towards you, they will remain among your “best” friends for many more days.

Find out who is on a friend’s “important” list

Well, now let’s analyze what best friends mean and how to find out this list from your friend. When we add new friends to ourselves, VK automatically offers us to sort them.

That is, we can indicate who the added person is to us:

• family member;
• close friend;
• work colleague;
• acquaintances from university, etc.

1. You can find out who belongs to your friend’s “best” friends section on VKontakte by opening his friends list.
2. You can do this by visiting your friend’s page and viewing his list of friends.
3. You can also use your own list of friends - opposite your friend’s avatar, you need to click on the “view friends” icon.
4. After going to the list of your friend’s friends, you will see icons next to the photo symbolizing “important” friends, “relatives,” etc.
5. Your avatar will be at the top of the list, and you will immediately see if you are among the “best” friends.
6. So, by reviewing all your friends, you will find out who is on the “important” list and who is in the category of ordinary friends.

Many users do not pay attention to all these categories, objectively believing that the “best” friend does not need general publicity. And perhaps they are right!

Let's figure out why they are needed at all. Important friends are those people to whom you are most active. compared to the others. Maybe you don't even communicate, but you like or visit the page often, and therefore this user's page will begin to rise in your important friends list. The person you recently added as a friend can also go there. This is done so that you could find those friends faster which you most important. It is worth noting that only your friends can be included in the important list. Other users will not be able to get there.

How to recognize important VKontakte friends from a friend

So, you are interested in a person and want to find out what his important friends. Maybe you need this just for fun, or maybe for personal purposes. One way is checking the user's photos and viewing his others social networks. For example, sometimes people post photos with statistics about who likes them more often. It can be assumed that those who like more often are important friends, or simply pay a lot of attention to this user. And on other social networks, for example, ask, people themselves post a list of their “important ones.”

Second way - it's checking out a friend's new friends. It is new friends who most often end up becoming important ones. You can find out who your friend added as a friend in the updates. This method, of course, less useful than the first one, since it is not a fact that new friend is important - maybe it’s just an old acquaintance with whom you haven’t communicated for a long time.

Third way. If you are dating a person live, then the list of important friends can be viewed when this person is scrolling through his VK or gives you the phone for a while, the most dishonest way is to simply take the phone when the owner does not see it.

Previously, a rating system was introduced from the social network VKontakte and users with a high rating were in the first places in the list of your friends. Today, sorting friends happens in a completely different way. At the very top, the people with whom you exchange messages and leave comments the most, that is, the people with whom you show some activity. More activity, higher on the friends list.

After being added, new friends are also in the top ten of users, as if reminding them of their existence, and over time they move down.

How the list of friends of other users is formed

If a user is your friend, then you are in first place. Vacant positions are then filled by people who have a relationship with you. mutual friends. Next are all other pages, sorted by registration date.

How to promote a specific friend on your friends list

To raise a friend to the first place in the list or within visibility, you need to be more active on his page, visit it more often, like each new photo, write him private messages and comment on his posts. A little time will pass and this user will surely take first place on your friends list.
If you need to quickly raise a friend, then remove him and add him again. The only negative is that your friend may find out about this manipulation if you hide all your updates in your privacy settings.

How to demote a specific friend from your friends list

To do this, it is enough not to communicate with him, not to visit his pages, and every day the user will go down, hiding behind those with whom you communicate. If all your friend's activity and updates are displayed in the news, you can click on the cross in the right top corner, then click on the “Do not show Vasya Pupkin’s news” button. This action over time will move your friend Vasya down several positions. You are not interested in his news, which means you are not interested in his page, why display it in the top positions?

Important friends on VK are automatically identified for all users of the social network, regardless of their wishes. The order of the top five changes based on a special VKontakte algorithm, which account owners are able to influence.

The article will talk about what important friends are, how the order in which profiles are displayed is determined, and why users with whom you are with jump to the top. for a long time didn't communicate.

IN mobile application VKontakte they are on the toolbar in quick access(scroll down, first item after the menu).

When viewing full list profile friends, you automatically see the top 5 first, and then the rest in alphabetical order.

How are important friends determined in VK?

There is a difference between displaying your own list and the order in which others' friends are displayed when you log into someone else's account.

In the first case, important VK friends are determined using a special social network algorithm that calculates how much attention is paid to a specific page among friends. The frequency and intensity of communication, the number of rated or commented posts, reposts, and the frequency of profile visits are taken into account. In general, the main criterion is the user’s interest in the profile: the more attention is paid to it, the higher the person will be in the ranking. Recently added pages also appear here for the first time. As a rule, they push down profiles that previously occupied 3-4 positions. The VKontakte developers came up with this move so that you don’t forget about your new friend and communicate.

If you decide to look at friends of another VKontakte profile, the list will be compiled based on completely different considerations. You will be in first place. It will put the pages of mutual friends in the top in the order in which their profiles are displayed on you. If there are none, after your account the pages will appear seemingly randomly. In fact, they are sorted by date of registration on the social network.

How to set up a list of important friends in VK

Additional settings for the list of important friends are not required - they are not provided by the developers at this stage.

Nevertheless, VKontakte users can influence the list of important friends and the distribution of places in it. How to put a friend as important on VK - see the next block.

How to change important friends in VK

The principle of sorting important friends in VK takes into account how interesting the account is for you, depends on the frequency of visits, the activity of correspondence and the rating of photos and posts. It is logical that in order to make changes to the list, you need to improve or reduce the indicated indicators for a specific person.

How to add a person to important friends on VKontakte

We haven’t communicated with a close friend who lives in another city for a long time, and as a result, he ended up “overboard” from the list of important people in VK. There are two ways to raise a friend in the ranking.

The long-term method is to improve the indicators listed above:

1. Communicate as often as possible.
2. Fill him with likes and comments.
3. Increase the number of visits to the desired account.

If you urgently need to add a profile to your list of important friends, there is a simple and quick life hack. In the article, we already said that recently added friends automatically take 3-4 positions in the rating, so why not take advantage of this?

• delete desired page from friends, and after a couple of seconds add again;
• remember who initiated the addition the first time. If you submitted the application, the other user will not even know about the manipulations ( standard notification won't come).

Why did important friends in VK change?

The top 5 important friends are formed based on the principle of demonstrated interest: the more interesting a user is to you in terms of views, likes, correspondence and reposts, the more likely he is to be in first position. Why did important friends get lost on VK?

If you stop contacting one of the five for a while, the algorithm reacts by lowering his position.

The owner of an account with whom you hardly communicate can also become a leader if you actively evaluate his photos and posts. A recently added profile can also dilute an already established list. By default, he is among important friends for some time, but in the absence of communication, he goes downhill.

How to hide important friends on VK

Contact makes no exceptions for important friends, so privacy settings apply to them as well. You can hide this category of people by digging into the Settings of any profile, regardless of the version you are using (meaning full or mobile).

And finally: knowledge of functional new VK products is great, but real life It’s much cooler outside of social networks. Don't forget to remind yourself of this from time to time.

Sometimes there are moments when you want to recognize important friends from your friends, relatives, colleagues, and so on. To be honest, a list of important friends is a very strange thing. After all, those who just added to you in most cases become important friends in the opinion of the system. But of course, as practice shows, the first three places are occupied by precisely those people with whom we engage in dialogue the most. There are several ways to solve this problem. You don't need any programs for this. And you won’t be able to find out for sure.

Let's find out the latest additions

To do this, you need to go to the news and see who the person you are interested in added. There is a high probability that those who appeared as friends among the last will be in the top 5. This way we can recognize those who round out the top five.

Method Two

Your ingenuity will also help here. Ask this question to a person on ask.fm. If the person is there, then you can ask him directly. Perhaps you will get an answer to your question.

At the moment I am not interested in any applications or programs that help in these matters, which is right. Since you should not look for confidential information.
