VKontakte launches stickers in personal messages Editorial articles

Not so long ago, the social network VKontakte pleased us with a large and interesting set of emoticons. But it happens that even this set is not enough. VKontakte is launching a new system called “Stickers”!

Stickers are beautiful pictures, slightly larger than ordinary emoticons, which are intended for correspondence. You will be able to insert them into dialogues and general chats. VKontakte will prepare several sets of stickers for users. Of these, 2 sets will be free, and the rest will be provided at a price of 66 rubles. The VKontakte administration is confident that about 10% of users will use paid sets of stickers.

Employees of the social network are confident that such an update will be to the taste of many, and the popularity of this service will be equal to the “Gifts” service, which was launched back in 2008.

How does a sticker from VKontakte differ from the generally accepted emoticon?

Recently, VKontakte has been offering us a lot of new stickers, some of them are free, others will have to be paid for with real money.

What is a sticker? This is a large picture on a given topic: cats, faces, people, fruits and vegetables, cars and others. They are available in the regular emoticons menu, which opens to any user during correspondence. But the site developers, for the most part, provide access to most of the stickers only for money.

Sometimes new thematic collections are released for free access, but really cool and individual ones are not included in this list. These paid stickers can be obtained in three ways: pay for them, ask a friend for stickers as a gift, or download the corresponding plugin. The third method is the most logical and fastest; besides, extensions will allow you to attach stickers not only to messages, but also to add them to comments.

The choice of such programs is so wide that it simply makes no sense to list them all here. Each of us can “Google” and choose an extension that will match his operating system.

If during a conversation in the dialogue field when you click on a sticker from the plugin, only its digital code appears - do not panic; when sending it, the picture itself will be displayed to the interlocutor. This is a peculiar feature of the work of such add-on programs.

The emotional meaning of emoticons - what each of them means and how to use it correctly

Now let's talk about how to correctly use symbols in Internet speech.
