How to remove an avatar on VK from your phone

During communication, other users see not only their first and last name, but also their avatar. Sometimes you want to remove or replace it. To do this, the following actions are necessary:

To do this, you need to go to your own page.
You need to tap on the image. As a result, a window will appear for uploading a new photo.

If you need to select a suitable drawing, then select a file from your smartphone. It is possible to take a photo of yourself and place the photo as an avatar.

To remove an avatar, just tag a neutral image in its place.

So, let's summarize

The editor is very well suited for maintaining interest in his group on VKontakte, namely adding articles with useful information, product reviews, compiling and posting instructions and FAQs for buyers.

In addition to the above, the editor is suitable for a personal blog on VKontakte. Perhaps all the functions presented will not be enough for avid bloggers, but it performs the main tasks perfectly. Perhaps the purpose of creating the editor was precisely to ensure that articles had a recognizable unique style of the VKontakte social network, or maybe this is just an additional function. Be that as it may, using the editor is quite comfortable and after a while you completely stop thinking about the lack of some functions.

However, there is one significant disadvantage that is not so easy to miss - articles are poorly indexed by search engines and it is quite difficult to find them in the search for VK itself. Therefore, using articles as a source of organic traffic is a bad idea. But if you have a well-promoted group, subscribers will be able to get you views, and they will also be able to share articles with their friends and repost on their personal wall.

Please note that if you want to create a collection of links, it is better to do this in the format of an article rather than a simple post, since the social network VKontakte does not reduce its coverage in publications with articles.

How to remove tags of yourself in other people's photos

During the communication process, the interlocutors’ posts may show photographs that, for some reason, I would like to delete. For example, this may apply to offensive images or disclosure of personal information.

It is impossible to remove it yourself. All actions with a photo can only be performed by the person who published the corresponding post. Sometimes you can contact him, explain the situation and persuade him to remove the unwanted drawing. However, mutual understanding in such cases is difficult to find.

In certain situations, it is possible to ask the site’s support service about this. This is possible in the following cases:

We are talking about spreading spam.
The pictures are downright offensive.
There is a distribution of images for adults.
The photos are shown to promote drugs, violence and cruelty.

The option to report a complaint opens when you visit the relevant page.

Sometimes photos are published in which the user has been tagged. In this case, you can remove the mark yourself, but you can delete the photo by contacting the author of the post or complaining to the VKontakte support service.
