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, what are social networks for in the first place? Of course, for communication!

Today, the maximum number of VKontakte friends for one user is no less than 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 VK friends list, revealing to you several useful secrets of the “white-blue” social network.
Identifying important friends on someone else's page
If everything is more or less clear with your page, then what about other accounts? By what principle is the list of friends in VK created for others? When you open the “Friends” tab of one of your friends, you will see that they are displayed differently from yours.
Your page will be the first in the top. Next will be your mutual VK friends. Moreover, the greater the number of adjacent friends with each person, the higher he will be in the top
. All other friends displayed in the list will be located according to the date of registration (the earlier, the higher in the list).
It follows from this that, at the moment, it is impossible to see important friends on someone else’s page.
The social network VKontakte is concerned about the privacy of its users. Perhaps this is why such important information can only be obtained about your personal page.
The principle of sorting "importance"
The principle of raising a person to “important friends” is very simple - the more contact you have with a friend, the higher he is on the list. Therefore, in order to raise a person to “important” status, it is enough to simply communicate with him more, post and share his posts. But there are several nuances:
- When a person first gets into contacts , he is immediately displayed in the fifth position of the list. This is done in order to assess how important a new acquaintance is: whether he will rise or lose positions. In addition, in this case, the friend will not get lost among others.
- To determine “importance”, not only the number of messages sent in personal correspondence or general conversations is taken into account, but also other activity: visiting a profile, viewing news, the number of “likes” and the frequency of commenting.
Is it possible to change important friends on VKontakte?
Many people are interested in how to change the position of a specific person that the friends list displays. It is impossible to do this by pressing a button. The entire process of forming a top list of friends is automated.
However, it is possible to promote a specific friend on the VK list. To do this, you need to exchange messages with him more often, go to his profile, like and comment there, and repost. After some time, the user will rise to the top of your list of important friends.
By the way, to move a friend down the list, you need to do the opposite. That is, stop all activity on his page, avoid messaging. This way the page will automatically move lower.
List in the mobile application
By logging into the VK program on your smartphone, you will be able to find the “Important” tab in your friends list. There, the top is formed in exactly the same way as in the official version of VKontakte. The developers added this tab for greater user convenience.
Showing your friends
But now everyone has forgotten about this system, the rating and its calculation have been cancelled. There is no longer that percentage box under the image. Now everything has become much simpler and more convenient. The first place in your contact list will be occupied by the person who is most interesting to you, namely, you often visit his page, leave comments, likes (Figure 2). In other words, sorting occurs based on your activity in relation to the user’s page. This also applies to people “online”; the sorting will simply take place on those pages that are currently online.
Some tricks
In addition to standard friend lists, you can create your own list.
Only you can see it. This will be useful for setting the privacy of the page. For example, you can hide personal photos from a specific list.
There you need to select the “This is not interesting” option. This method is suitable not only for the pages of your friends, but also for groups and communities. There you can cancel this action or complain about the recordings.
When looking for new friends online, the main thing is not to forget about your real friends and acquaintances. After all, maintaining real relationships with real people will protect you from loneliness and lack of support from others.
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 have not communicated for a long time jump to the top.
In the VKontakte mobile application, they are on the toolbar for quick access (scroll down, the first item after the menu).
When viewing a profile's full list of 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 the date of registration on the social network.
Is it possible to change the order?
After everything has become clear about sorting VKontakte friends, we can talk about whether this order can be changed. Unfortunately, the developers of the social network did not provide this function, so you cannot change the order of friends yourself.
If you want to keep someone close to you at the top of your friends list, try to communicate with them more. Otherwise, keep communication to a minimum. However, do not forget that no social networks can replace real communication with friends and people close to you!
I don’t know if you are aware, but you have the opportunity, with the help of simple actions, to remove your friend from the top positions of the VKontakte friends list. All you have to do is, with a couple of clicks, lower your friend's priority in the news section, after which he will drop to the bottom of your friends list. Let's look at 3 ways in which this can be done.
Instruction No. 1: through demonstrated activity:
The most common way to remove a friend from the top of your friends list is to promote other friends to the top.
This is all done for a very long time and manually, because this requires visiting friends’ pages as often as possible, rating and commenting on their publications and communicating with them through personal messages. The more actions you take with certain users, the higher they become on your friends list. This is how you can displace your enemy. Just be active on the pages of other friends on your list, and as for your enemy, forget about him. For the method to work, you must not maintain contact with this user, otherwise he may not only remain in the same place in your list, but also jump even higher!
In general, a little time spent, a little patience and a little caution - and you will reach your cherished goal!
Instruction No. 2: through the news section:
You don't have to do everything manually.
You all have a personal life and more important things to do, but to remove your friend from the top positions of the VKontakte friends list there is an even simpler function. This time we will need an entry from our enemy in the news feed. Unfortunately, this method does not always work. If a person has not published new posts on his wall for a long time, this method will not help, so use the third method. But if your friend is actively posting new posts or has posted recently, you can scroll down the feed and easily find one of his posts. But to make his post easier to find, do the following:
When you have found your friend's post or have hidden all other news to find your friend's post, follow the instructions below:
Instruction No. 3: through the user page:
This method is much simpler than the first two.
However, in order not to rack your brains and save a lot of time, it is better to use this method right away! Here everything is done like this: Due to the peculiarities of the VKontakte social network, the order of friends does not change immediately, but several hours after the manipulations have been performed. So after you have done the above steps, just be patient!
After some time, your friend will move down from the top of your friends list. It has been verified that a friend can be either in the middle of your list or at the very end. It all depends on the activity you show towards this person. For example, if you just added a new friend and he's in the top of your friends list, hiding his news will drop him to the very bottom of your friends list. And if a person was in the top because you often visit his page, send him messages and like his photos, after hiding the news he will be approximately in the middle of the list or slightly higher.
It is worth noting that the methods described above also work with communities. That is, by lowering the priority of your groups, meetings or public pages, you will move them to the bottom of your list of communities.
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:
- Communicate as often as possible.
- Fill him with likes and comments.
- 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?
- remove the desired page from friends, and after a couple of seconds add it again;
- remember who initiated the addition the first time. If you submitted the application, the other user will not even know about the manipulation (the standard notification will not be received).
How to make a person first?
The easiest way from the information received is to visit his page more often and be active on it. This also applies to the goal of removing a person from the first positions - you just need to reduce the number of visits or delete and then add the person again to your list of friends.
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 will show you how to remove important friends on VKontakte
.
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 outside of social networks is much cooler. Don't forget to remind yourself of this from time to time.
Managing your friends lists is easy!
Good day, friends!
I'll get straight to the point! Today I’ll tell you about a super cool thing that I’ve been using for a long time and that few people know about!
For quite some time now there has been such a feature as sorting friends in contact. And you probably know that there are built-in “open” groups that are visible to everyone, and you can also set up your own hidden one
Friend list. Many users of the social network vk do not give this functionality enough credit and believe that “fussing around” with distributing friends among lists is just a waste of time.
It would seem that there could be something complicated in such a simple thing as a list of VKontakte friends.
, because this is just a list that contains all the friends! It's actually not that simple! And in this article I will talk about how to use it most effectively and how to create a list of friends automatically using scripts for VKontakte!
VKontakte friends list - main functions
So, what do we see when we first go to the “My Friends” section? At the top of the screen there are two tabs - “All friends”
(here is a complete list of friends) and
“Online Friends”
(this list will only contain those friends who are currently on the site, and the number in brackets shows their number).
By default, under each friend's name, his place of study is indicated, but this may depend on the privacy settings of the friends themselves. In addition, opposite each entry there are four buttons - Write a message, View friends, Remove from friends and Set up lists
. And if the functions of the first three do not raise questions, then we will dwell on the last button in more detail.
Additional friend lists
Additional lists allow you to sort friends according to certain criteria, for example, a separate list “for classmates”, “for acquaintances from a certain conference”, and so on. But it’s a pity that there can only be a limited number of them, I’ve already used them all, each new list is killing the old one, which is no longer working. And now I have 24 of them in total, this is in addition to the 5 main ones!
These lists are created using the “Create List”
, which is located in the upper right part of the window. When you click on it, a new window will open where you will be asked to select friends who will join the new group. After this, you need to specify the name of the list and click on the “Save” button.
By default, the “My Friends” section displays the entire list of VK friends. In this case, under each friend the label of the list to which he belongs will be displayed. If you click on it, all friends included in this list will automatically be shown. You can also switch between lists using bookmarks, which are located on the right side of the screen. In all display modes, the principle of a VKontakte friend group is based on a rating, which is compiled based on the frequency of communication with a particular person.
As you can see, I have a lot of additional lists - this helps to work with contacts
How is the friends list formed now?
Now the list of friends on the most popular social network is formed in a different way
: The first positions in the list are those users with whom you communicate most often. However, such sorting of the VK friends list may puzzle some users. For example, some people wonder why a person with whom communication is extremely rare is so high on the list. The answer is simple - when creating a list, not only messages are taken into account, but also likes, page views, replies, and comments on posts. It turns out that the first person on your list of friends may not only be the user with whom you do not communicate that much.
However, there is one small exception to this rule: users whom you recently added to your friends list are usually located in 5th or 6th place on the list so that, according to the developers of the social network, you do not lose sight of them.
Automating VKontakte friend lists using VkOpt
Say: “This is all great, Marina, but I won’t set the settings for several thousand of my friends.”
- perhaps just such a thought has come to you now, if you have quite a lot of friends. And all administrators and SMM specialists usually have a huge number of them on both personal and work pages. There is a solution! Remember that I: how to download, install and configure vkopt? Do you remember? So, among other functions in this script, it is possible to sort the list of friends in a contact automatically! This is a very cool feature because when adding new friends, VK does not offer us all the lists, it only gives us the basic ones! And VkOpt gives us such an opportunity!
Here are the buttons that will appear after installing the script:
How to sort your VK friends list using these buttons? And it's very simple!
Firstly
, we can use the [
blocked
] button to remove all “dogs” from the list of friends, that is, users blocked by social networks. While I’m writing this article, I just discovered one such person - this is some kind of “random” friend, so I’ll delete him
Secondly
, when you click on the [
Friends not listed
] button, we will calculate those who have not yet been sorted.
Third
, we can automatically classify friends by gender, which is set in their profile settings.
You can write your own headings for these groups
How to create a list of VKontakte friends and how exactly to use it - you can decide for yourself. But in any case, this is a convenient tool for both organizing contacts and setting up the privacy of your own page - hiding photo albums or videos, for example.
In addition, as soon as you install scripts for VKontakte (by the way, vkopt), then from that moment on, a complete list will be deployed for each new friend in order to immediately set the necessary groups
How to change the list of friends on VKontakte
To change the sorting and assign some other open or hidden list of friends in a contact, you need to perform a minimum of actions. Find a friend in the list and click on the “set up lists” button and then change the checkboxes to the ones we need - add or remove a group.
And the last thing I want to talk about is how to delete your friends list
.
Everything here is not difficult either. Select a list that we don’t need, click on it and a line will appear at the top of the panel to delete the list. By the way, next to it there is a button “edit list”, where you can quickly add or remove friends from this group:
And by the way, with the help of VkOpt, we can easily set up privacy, quickly send mailings to the right groups of people (after all, the lists have a “Write a message” button. In short, a very cool thing!
I hope that now you can easily create lists both manually and automatically. Tell us about your tricks, what else do you use? Or do you use VkOpt like no one else? Tell us in the comments! Like, share the article on social networks, subscribe to blog updates!
The social network VKontakte is a place on the Internet where millions of people from all over the world communicate every day. The functionality and convenience of the site allow it to occupy a leading position among similar services for many years. Do you know everything about this social network? Or maybe you have questions about some of the site's features? In this article we will tell you how to see friends of a friend on VKontakte.
View Lists
It would seem, what could be simpler? But first things first. How to see a friend's friends on VKontakte?
1. Go to the page of the person whose list we want to view.
2. Find the “Friends” section.
3. Click on it and view the users listed there.
4. For ease of searching, for example, if you need to find a specific person, there is a line at the top of the page. Enter the user's last name or first name there.
Quite recently on the VKontakte website it became possible to view friends’ news. To do this, you also need to visit the page of the person on your list. Then find the “Friends” section and next to it click on the “News” link. They will display all the events that your friend sees in his news feed (actions that his friends performed: they added photos, audio files, notes, and so on). This way, you can not only see all the users who are on your friend's list, but also regularly monitor what's new with them.
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.
- You can find out who belongs to your friend’s “best” friends section on VKontakte by opening his friends list.
- You can do this by visiting your friend’s page and viewing his list of friends.
- You can also use your own list of friends - opposite your friend’s avatar, you need to click on the “view friends” icon.
- After going to the list of your friend’s friends, you will see icons next to the photo symbolizing “important” friends, “relatives,” etc.
- Your avatar will be at the top of the list, and you will immediately see if you are among the “best” friends.
- 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!
The social network “VKontakte” is one of the most popular Internet projects in all of Russia and the countries of the post-Soviet space. Every day, year after year, the resource is used by millions of users who go to the vk.com website not only to communicate with each other, but also to find out news, listen to their favorite audio recordings, watch a movie or TV series, find out something interesting and even make plans. where to go to update your wardrobe.
At the moment, everyone can add up to 10 thousand other “inhabitants” of the social network as friends, and, as statistics show, the average user of the resource has about 200-300 people as friends. However, when looking through the list of your VKontakte friends, you may unexpectedly discover that they are located in different orders and can sometimes change places. Why does this happen and how is this entire list formed?
Beware, scammers!
How to see a friend's friends on VKontakte? There are now many programs on the Internet that promise to show you a list of the hidden identities of your comrades. Keep in mind that in no case do you need to download or install such applications on your PC, much less use them, since you can only see VKontakte friends who have been authorized by the user. Installed software can harm your computer, infect it with a dangerous virus, or steal your login credentials.
Sometimes the social network VKontakte incorrectly arranges the order of friends on the profile page and because of this it becomes inconvenient to communicate with your friends. So that you can customize your list of important friends,
Let's look at how to raise a friend to the top of the VK list, what methods there are for this.
Second way
The second way to remove a person from your important friends on VKontakte solves the problem radically. To do this, you just need to remove it. If there is a need to save contacts, then add the person again. The user will not receive notifications about your actions, and he will not know anything, and will be left off your list.
Keep in mind that if you continue to be active with the user you want to remove from important, soon his rating will increase and he will again take his place in the list. And remember: although it is useful to know how to remove unwanted users from important VKontakte friends, the order of friends in reality is much more important than the order of friends on the social network.
Previously, the contact list was sorted by user rating. Its display could be seen under the avatar of the user’s page (Figure 1). It depended on activity, the presence of contact information, descriptions and completion of certain fields, as well as on the number of friends. Thus, the person among friends with the highest ratings took first place, and then in descending order.
Method number 1 on how to raise a friend on VK
This is a long term method.
It may take more than 1 day to raise a VK friend to 1st place using this method. You don’t have to constantly be on the social network - just go to your page every hour and go to the profile of the person you want to put in first place on your VKontakte friends list.
It is better to access a person’s personal page through the “Friends” tab. Gradually, click by click (provided that you visit his profile more often than other people’s pages), this friend rises to the list of important friends and takes a top position.

Previously, a rating system was introduced from the social network VKontakte and in the first places in the list of your friends were users with a high rating. 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.
Method No. 3 how to move a VK friend to the list of important friends
This is the easiest method to change the order of important friends. To implement it, you need to take a person from your friends, and then add him again.
Then it will automatically move to the top. And if this does not happen, just write a few messages to the person, like the post, and he will rise up the list.
The fact is that VKontakte works on the principle that new people and those with whom you most often come into contact become important friends.
So if you want your friend to rise to the top and not find out that you did this on purpose, then visit his page more often, and visit the pages of other profiles less often. If you do this together, then remove him from your friends list, and then add him again - and the Vk algorithm will work in the direction you need.
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 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.
Have you ever known that VK has a number of friends? Yes, yes, at the time of writing, it amounts to 10,000 users including friend requests. What if there are more friends? This means they will be your subscribers.
Finding users with 10 thousand friends is, to put it mildly, not so easy. For most, this figure is much lower - 200-500 user-friends. But today we won’t talk about friends, but about how a list of friends for a user is formed. Here, as it turns out, everything is far from so simple.
