For many people, the VKontakte website is practically a second home. The creators of the social network provided the opportunity for people to share their photos, upload videos, express their thoughts and tell news. And, of course, communicate with friends in real time. The VKontakte blacklist is similar to the blacklist on your phone. When a person does not want to communicate with someone, with one click on the phone button he sends this person to ignore. The essence of the VKontakte blacklist is the same: all unwanted users are sent to a ban.
How to view the VKontakte blacklist (find out who I blocked)?
Your black list of people on VKontakte is in the settings. To open the settings in the regular version of VKontakte, click on your name or avatar at the top right - a menu will open. Then select Settings there:
The settings consist of several sections. You need a Black List - click on this item in the right column.
If you access VK through a browser, you can quickly open your blacklist using this link:
My blacklist
You will see a list of all the people you have ever blocked. When you blacklist someone, they stay there forever. More precisely, until you unlock it yourself.
How to add a friend to blocked
We find our treasured list of unwanted people. We already know how to do this, at the very top there is a button “Add to blacklist”, click on it.
Next, we are asked to add a link to the page of a friend whom we want to add to the same list:
We go to a friend’s page and copy its address at the top of the browser line:
Paste the copied address into the add window. We should have immediately loaded a miniature of a person. Click on the “Block” button next to it:
That's it, we added a friend.
How to unblock a person on VKontakte and remove him from the blacklist?
On the phone (in the application or in the mobile version of VK)
Having opened the black list (as described above), find the person you need and click on the cross to the right of him. That's it, you unblocked the person.
Another option: go to the page of the blocked person, open the menu with the ⋮ (three dots, top right) and select Unblock.
In the full version of the VK site

Another option: go to the page of the blocked person, open the menu with the button (three dots) under the main photo. Click on it and select Unblock.
If a person is blocked on VKontakte, that’s different. This means that his page is frozen for violating the rules, and he cannot use VK at all until he unblocks it. This is written in more detail here: VKontakte was blocked. What to do?
Why is a blacklist needed?
Every user is different.
There are well-mannered people, and there are those who definitely need to do something nasty or be rude. In order not to spoil the nerves, a black list was invented. Once on the ignore list, a person sees only the first and last name, as well as the user’s photo. All photographs, videos, and wall posts remain closed to him. He also has no right to write comments, personal messages, or invite people to meetings. In the middle of the ignoring person’s page, the message “The user has restricted access to his page” is displayed.
The blacklist is a kind of protection against unwanted communication, spam and annoying users.

On the phone
Next, we’ll look at the same thing, but on the phone. We will use the Android application, but you can do the same thing on an iPhone.
Where to find the "Black List"
In Android and iOS, you can open the Black Sheet by taking a couple of simple steps:
- Launch the application and press the main menu button. You can find it in the lower right corner of the window.
- Tap on the settings gear (marked with a red circle).
- Select the item marked in the screenshot below.
This is our “Black List”. Here you see a list of all users who have “annoyed” you with something.
By analogy with the step-by-step instructions for a computer and laptop, we will show adding to an emergency situation from Android or iPhone.
How to add to emergency
It’s even easier to ban any “resident” of VKontakte on a phone than on a PC. This is done like this:
- Go to the user page and press the menu button.
- Next, select “Block”.
- All that remains is to confirm the intention. Click “YES”.
A notification that appears at the bottom of the screen confirms the success of the completed actions. Anastasia is no longer with us.
If we go back to the “Black List”, we will see that the girl, and in your case, perhaps the opposite sex, has already firmly settled here. Therefore, the blocking operation was successful.
If you suddenly got carried away and undeservedly punished a person (as in our case with Nastya), the mistake can be corrected. How? Read on.
How to remove from emergency situation
To remove a user from the VKontakte blacklist on your phone, you need to open the ban list and simply tap on the cross icon opposite the one who, in your opinion, does not deserve to be here.
Done, the person again has the right to write to you, view entries and even comment on them.
