Good afternoon friends. In this article we will learn how to find a person on VKontakte in all possible ways.
Everyone knows that social networks are created mainly for communication. But who to communicate with if you don’t have friends and acquaintances on social networks? First you need to find them and add them to your friends. As a rule, it is easier to find acquaintances and friends on VKontakte among young people - these are socially active people, and almost everyone has a page on VK. Middle-aged people and even retirees are now actively joining Contact. So if you have created an account on this social network, you can say with a high degree of confidence that most of your friends are also there.
Of course, you can simply ask your friend or acquaintance to send in any way a link to his page, through which you can go to his page and make a friend request. But if there is no connection with a person (perhaps this is a colleague whom you are looking for 10 years after serving in the army), then you will have to search directly through the search tools of a social network. Below we will look at several ways to find a person on VKontakte.
How to find a person on VK by phone number
It is best to search for a person on VK by phone number through the official application on a smartphone. The main thing is to add the person’s number to your phone book before doing this. Searching on a computer is done through a search engine in the browser.
On the computer
In a browser via a computer, there is no possibility of a full search by phone number. But you can use search engines: Yandex, Google or others, for example, DuckDuckGo.
1. Open a search engine in your browser, let’s take Google as an example. Enter in the search bar - vk.com and the phone number of the person you want to find (see picture).
2. If a person has not hidden his page from being indexed by search engines, then it will be found using the entered data.
Interesting! The numbers of users you already have as friends can be viewed on the phone book page, in the “Friends” section - https://vk.com/friends?section=phonebook
On the phone
1. Add to your mobile contacts the number of the person you want to search for on VK. Open the application in Contact, go to the “Services” section and open the page with friends.
2. Click on the “Add friend” button and in the next window click on the “Contacts” button in the import block. Allow the app to access your phone book if necessary.
3. A list of users who have it set in their account settings that they can be searched by phone number (this feature is enabled by default) will be displayed in the list.
Interesting! This function works equally well on iPhone and Android smartphones; there, if you wish, you can send invitations to a social network to those who are not registered in it directly to your mobile phone.
In the web version of the social network
First, let's look at three simple ways to add friends on your computer.
How to add a user as a friend through his profile
Go to the profile of the person you want to add to your friends list. Under his avatar there will be an “add as a friend” button.
In some cases, there may be “subscribe”, which means that the user has limited the ability to add. When you click on this button, the message “you are subscribed” will appear and you will be taken to the corresponding list.
Subscribers are users whose applications were not approved or reviewed, as well as those who were removed from the friends list. Their interaction with another user's page is limited by their privacy settings.
After you click “add friends”, the message will change to “request sent” and the user will receive a notification with the request.
If you click on this button again, a drop-down menu will open where you can cancel the application if you change your mind.
When the application is confirmed, the inscription will change to “Your friends.”
How to add as a friend via search
Finding friends is convenient for mass following, when you need to add many users in a short time, but in general, you can also find a specific person.
To use the search function, in the main menu on the left, go to the “Friends” section.
Next, in the menu on the right, switch to “Search for friends.” You can set advanced search parameters, for example, age, place of residence, study or work, interests, availability of photographs. The filter will appear under the right menu.
You can first enter a name in the search bar and, if necessary, sort the results using additional options.
After this, a list of users matching the specified filter will appear. Next to each name there are “Add as friends” or “Subscribe” buttons.
After you click on them, the “You are subscribed” button will appear; clicking again will cancel the action.
When the user confirms the application, the inscription will change to “Remove from friends.”
How to accept an incoming application
You can add people to your friends list by accepting incoming requests. The number of requests is displayed in the main menu on the left. Go to the "Friends" section.
At the top of the page there will be a “Friend Requests” field; if there is only one request, then you can immediately add the user as a friend or keep him as a subscriber. If there are several applications, click “Show all” to open the full list.
When adding as a friend, the VKontakte service will offer to add the person to one of the lists as in the screenshot below, this action is not mandatory, but if desired, check the box.
If you left a user as a subscriber, then his interaction with your page will be limited by privacy settings. If you remove him from this list, he will be blacklisted and will no longer be able to send you a friend request.
How to find a person on VK by photo
The social network itself currently does not have the ability to search by photos. But, this can be done through search engines: Yandex and Google. The main thing is that the user’s profile is open for indexing by them.

Interesting! If you want to search for a community by ID, also insert its value immediately after the domain. If it is numeric, then before the number you need to write the word - public, so that it looks like this - vk.com/public000000.

On the computer
There are several tricks that can allow a person to look at the comments of another user on the VKontakte social network.
If the user is your friend
If the user is on your friends list, then you can see the comments they left as follows:
- Open the VKontakte social network on your personal computer. You must have the " News" On the right side of the screen there is a list with different sections of the site. You will need to find the item “ Updates» and click on it with the left mouse button.
- You will be redirected to a page with all your friends' updates. To make it easier to find the comments of the right person, you will need to use a special filter. This filter is located on the right side of the screen. You will only have to leave a check mark next to the line “ Comments" If you have other lines marked, then the mark must be unchecked.
- Thus, you will see a page with comments that your friends left. Unfortunately, you cannot select a specific user, so you will have to look at his comments along with the statements of your other friends. In addition, this page does not show all comments, but only those that were left recently.
Special link
There is another way through which you can track some comments from a specific user. This is done like this:
- You will need to create a special link. The first thing you need to do is copy the link to the page of the user whose comments you want to track. You only need the numbers from his id. That is, if the link has the full form https://vk.com/id14443434 , then you only need to copy the numbers after the word “ id ”.
- After this, paste the copied numbers into the link https://vk.com/feed?obj=HERE&q=§ion=mentions . You will need to insert numbers instead of the word “ Here ”. It should look like this: https://vk.com/feed?obj=14443434&q=§ion=mentions .
- All you have to do is follow the link. If you did everything correctly, then you will see a page with responses to the comments of the user whose link you copied.
Online service
If the above methods do not suit you, then you can use a special online service that will help you track a person’s comments on VK. To do this, follow these steps:
- Follow this link https://vk.city4me.com/. A page for tracking a user should open in front of you. In the upper left part of the screen there is a section “ VK Login", click on it with the left mouse button.
- Log in to your account and give all necessary permissions. Then, copy the link of the user of the VKontakte social network whose comments you want to see. After that, paste it into the “ Enter the ID or address of the VK page».
- Left-click on the section "Statistics».
- A photo of the user you want to monitor should appear in front of you. Enter special numbers, and then left-click on the “ Add ...", where the ellipsis indicates the user's first and last name.
- Then, go down the page a little until you see the section "Go to online statistics..." Left-click on this column.
- You will be redirected to a new page with information about the selected person’s profile on VK. At the top of the screen there will be a list with various subsections. Find the item " Comments" and click on it with the left mouse button.
- After that, go down the page to the section “Settings" You will need to select the scan depth, and also check the box next to “ 2x" Then, click LMB on the line “ Search in groups" or "Search in friends».
- You will need to wait until the online service checks all possible options. It is possible that the test will fail. In our case, no comments were found in groups for this user.
