When communicating, viewing news, publishing posts, and in many other cases on the VKontakte social network, real time is used. However, sometimes the value displayed on the website does not correspond to the real one at all, causing certain difficulties. Next we will try to tell you how you can fix this problem by correctly setting the time on different platforms.
VKontakte: Sending personal messages using the VK service retroactively.
Published February 25, 2015
Good afternoon. Let's look at two ways to send a personal message to VKontakte retroactively.
Moreover, the first method is a mandatory addition to the second method. If you don’t succeed with the first method, you will definitely succeed with the second. If you are not a programmer, don't worry. You don't have to be one to get it right. Believe me, everything has already been done for you a long time ago.
However, the question arises: why and who needs this? Everything is very simple. Situations in life are different. For example, someone is waiting for an important document from you, and you forgot to send it... This article will help you correct this kind of situation.
But if VKontakte is a secure network, then how is this possible? Yes, it is true that hacking a VKontakte account is difficult. But no one is talking about hacking. We are talking about a small life hack, provided you have full access to two VK accounts.
Method #1. Changing the time zone on the server.
Before we get started, let's create two VKontakte accounts. We need full access to them. You also need to get access to the API.
After we have created two accounts, we log in. The application authorization process consists of 3 steps (https://vk.com/dev/auth_mobile): 1. Opening a browser window to authenticate the user on the VKontakte website. 2. User permission to access their data. 3. Transferring the access_token key to the application to access the API.
To authorize, you need to send a request to the address https://oauth.vk.com/token, passing the following mandatory GET parameters: grant_type, client_id, client_secret, username, password.
Example request: https://oauth.vk.com/token?grant_type=password&client_ >
We received a token. Great. Next, we need to order a high-quality and bulletproof VPS on CentOS. I think everyone can cope with this.
Now we need to change the time on our server. Setting up the server itself is described here: https://habrahabr.ru/post/246223/
Don't forget about VKontakte server data: • ip: 87.240.182.185 • browser: Mozilla/5.0 (vkShare; +https://vk.com/dev/Share) • host: srv185-182-240-87.vk.com • port: 36035
The time change can be found here:
Once we have changed the time on the server, we can start sending messages via message.send(). The fact is that the documentation for the message object of the “date” field says the following: the message object returns the “date” field - the date the message was sent in unixtime format. (https://vk.com/dev/message) Therefore, we simply send the message with a different unixtime. The main thing here is that the VKontakte server “recognizes” your VPS as its own. CentOS allows you to do this. It's all very simple, isn't it?
Method #2. Send messages as a forwarded message.
If the first method didn’t work for you, don’t worry. It is still needed for the second method. And so, we have a configured VPS server. We go to the social network VKontakte. We create a correspondence in the usual way between two accounts. Now our task is to access these messages and change their unixtime.
Let's get started. In order to receive private messages, we can use this source code: https://github.com/coldmind/vk-dialogue-export.py/blob/master/vk-dialogue-export.py
But, if it looks too complicated for you, you can try to do it only using the VK API : https://vk.com/dev/messages.getHistory
Everything is simple here. The most important thing for us is that we must correctly access the “date” field of the message object:
We take this source code as a basis: https://github.com/mrDoctorWho/VK-Exporter/blob/master/exporter.py
From it we need to take the following:
getMessageHistory(self, count, u > """ Gets messages history """ values = <"count": count, "user_id": uid, "rev": rev, "start": start> return self.method( "messages.getHistory", values)
Or we just use php:
This is simple, since there are a lot of such methods on the Internet. We received a file where data about unixtime is stored. We change them to your date. And we return it back to the server in the same way as in the first case, only in the form of forwarding. In this case, success is guaranteed.
I would like to note that I did not write all the source codes, but only the most important and necessary ones. Everything else is very easy to write. As a result, as you can see, sending personal messages retroactively to VKontakte is very simple. Thanks to all.
Hello, friends! Today I will show you how to fake VKontakte correspondence
and on other social networks. I am sure that the majority do not know how to do this and believe the fake screenshots they receive from bad friends and other “good” guys. In this easy way, you can fake not only correspondence, but also other page data displayed by an Internet browser.
Where can you come across such tricks? The screen falsification method is used by people who are trying to exaggerate their income or some other statistics. For example, screenshots of site income. Therefore, by learning how this is done, you will be better informed and prepared for a possible divorce.
The method described below does not violate any laws. In this way, you do not change the site code, but only what you see in your browser. But lies, blackmail and other gray matters are quite punishable, and you can get really serious punishment for this
To fake correspondence, you don’t need a hacker’s brain or Photoshop skills. Also, you do not need to install additional programs. All you need is any internet browser and an internet connection. We will change messages and other data by viewing and changing the source code of the page.
In my case, the forgery of correspondence will take place on the VKontakte social network, using the Opera browser. You can do the same on Odnoklassniki, Facebook, mail.ru, Twitter, etc.
How to change the last visit on VKontakte. How to change date of birth in VK
Quite often, users of the social network VKontakte wonder how to hide the date and time of the last visit on a personal page and whether this is even possible. In this instruction we will look at the most optimal options for resolving this issue, however, it is possible to say with confidence in advance that there are very few ways to hide the time of a visit.
First of all, it is important to clarify that today a workable method of concealment is only one single and extremely inconvenient technique. At the same time, please note that the process of hiding the time of the last visit is not the same as activating the invisible mode.
When you activate stealth mode, your page becomes invisible to the tracking protocols of the VK.com website. The time of the last active session in any case will be displayed on your main page.
To partially solve the problem, you can try to hide your page from other users using special instructions.
Temporary account deactivation
As you know, the VK social network has a long-term deletion system, that is, after initializing the deactivation process of your personal profile, a predetermined period of time must pass, directly depending on the date when you decided to take this step. We have already discussed most of the nuances associated with deleting a profile in an article with a self-explanatory title.
This method of hiding the time of the last successful authorization is the only one that works, since the information we are interested in disappears only when your account is in the queue for deletion.
You will need to repeat all the described steps each time you log out and log out of VK.
In addition to information on hiding, it is worth mentioning that due to the irrelevance of many methods that were once workable on the early version of VKontakte, you can find a large number of different, obviously non-working methods on the network, in particular, by using or changing local time. Moreover, be careful when searching for such information, as scammers never sleep!
We continue to understand the page settings. We have already talked about the name (see). Now let me show you how to change your date of birth on VKontakte
.
What does it look like
This information can be removed or hidden.
How to delete or hide your date of birth
Go to your page and click the “Edit” button located under the avatar (see).
Here we find the block “Date of Birth”. In the input fields, please provide current information.
There is a drop-down menu just below. The following options are available there:
- Show date of birth
- Show only month and day
- Don't show date of birth
If you do not want other users to see this information, select the latter option.
In case you want to hide your age, select "Show month and day only". This way, your birth year will not be shown and you will hide your real age (see).

Is it possible to hide the date and time when you logged into VK?
Could it be that a person hid the date and time of his visit to VKontakte, and then how can one find out when he visited? How to hide my time when I logged into VK? In fact, the time when you were last online (online) cannot be hidden. If someone told you that you can do this and continue using the site as usual, then he is simply lying. There is no such official possibility. Until April 2021, it was possible to remain invisible in some applications, then this option was removed completely. All that remains is Login (read more below).
The last login time disappears on its own if you haven’t logged in for a long time (more than three months). It is believed that after this time it no longer matters when exactly the person was online - it was too long ago. That’s why you don’t see this time for some people: they simply haven’t been online for a long time, and the date (time) of their visit has disappeared. They themselves did not hide anything. But the time will appear again the next time the person comes in. Or maybe the person could not restore access and has not used the old page for a long time, having opened a new page instead.
If the page doesn’t say when a person visited, it means he was there a long time ago. How to find out for sure? On his page, click on the “Write a message”
(if he has a personal message open for you) - VK will show the date when he was last on the site. It is better to do this in the full version of VK.
Sometimes the last online time is not displayed simply because VK is undergoing some technical work or is simply glitchy. This does not happen for everyone, but for that part of the people who are affected by these problems. Then, when everything is fixed, the time of the last login appears again.
How to use VK offline? The VKontakte administration reports that they have never made it possible to hide online status. You can only follow new events in VK, while remaining offline, through (are there new messages, likes, who is online, etc.). As soon as you go to the VKontakte website, you will appear on the network again, and your friends will be able to see it on your page. However, for many this is enough. Try it, it's convenient and safe.
Invisibility in mobile applications like Kate Mobile and similar ones no longer works. In addition, among such applications there are many fraudulent ones that do nothing and simply steal your passwords. So be careful. The most reliable login method is , which has been around for many years and has almost two million users worldwide.
There is another auxiliary way to hide the time of the last login to VK - you can log in, do something, and delete your page before leaving. It is not permanently deleted immediately, so you can restore it the next time you log in. But it is not recommended to do this constantly, because you risk losing access. And of course, people who look at your page will see that it has been deleted.

Users have finally seen changes in the mechanism for sending personal messages on VKontakte. You can now change the already sent text. You have 24 hours to edit your message. Let's figure out how to do this.
Why does VKontakte time not match?
Svetlana, I broke my head. What's the joke? Careful for what?
Not to leave traces? I can't understand what has changed.
Artyom, the other day it happened to me several times that the time when I was on VKontakte, according to the Activity History, did not coincide with the real one. For example, I know for sure that I was on VK until 3, but it shows 20:00. Or until midnight, and in History - until 17:00.
I don’t keep track of this all the time (you could say I don’t check it at all). I came across the tab by accident. But before, if I looked at the Activity History, everything matched. In the first case I noticed, I wrote to Support.
Some of the logins to VK were simply missing (if I’m not mistaken, several days have passed, this is just my memory). At the same time, due to the fact that the editor, there has been a two-factor for a long time.
Artyom, I looked at it by accident, I repeat (there could have been other reasons. I don’t see any reason to justify myself to anyone, including (and/or especially) to you). It used to match.
It will be more convenient for those who use the mobile version. You see, I’m even too lazy (human factor) to check the activity now (and I would be even more lazy to do this if I were in a different version - switch to the one where this is possible). And such “laziness” is taken into account when choosing a location for a store, easier and simpler website design, for example.
Support responded with advice to change the password, end sessions, change the email password (in general, partially, I guessed something similar before their response). Sorry, but this is important.
Even if it was some kind of bug, in this case it is better to be safe.

How to change a sent message on VKontakte
No later than 24 hours after sending, you need to find the desired message, select it and go into editing mode. Let's look at two options - if we are on VKontakte from a computer and through a mobile application.
From computer
Go to the “Messages” section, find and open the desired dialogue. Let's look through the sent messages for the last day and find what we need. Hover your mouse over it and it should highlight. Icons will appear in the upper right corner - click on the pencil icon to switch to editing mode.
The message will open in a form - you can make changes. Here you can insert or delete graphics, audio and video content. When finished, click on the checkmark to save.
Your interlocutor will also see the new version.
From mobile application
Let's learn how to do the same procedure using the VKontakte mobile application.
We go to the desired dialogue and find the sent message. The mobile version also has a 24-hour limit on making edits. Click on the desired message.
In the menu that appears, select "Edit".
You will be taken to the edit mode. Do this and click on the checkmark to save.
After this, you and your interlocutor will see an edited version of the message.
where are they located and how to configure the page correctly?
VK settings allow the user to fill out a profile and make certain parts of the profile inaccessible to others, ensuring the security of the account or money transfers. The debugging section hides management of linked applications, black list and notifications; here you can change the compromised password or delete the page. Let's figure out how to work with each of the blocks and how to set up a profile for a comfortable existence on the social network.
Setting up an avatar
A photo on the page allows other site visitors to recognize your face. To set a new avatar:
- Go to your profile and hover over the bottom of your main image.
- In the pop-up list, click “Update Photo”.
- Select the file on your computer using the appropriate button and wait for it to download.
- By scaling the image beyond the dots at the corners and sides, select the area to display on the page.
- Click "Save and Continue."
- Similarly, decide on the photo thumbnail.
- Click on “Save Changes”.
After these actions, the avatar will be updated. If desired, hide the image from the “My Photos” block: hover the cursor over the image and click on the cross.
Where are “My Settings” on VKontakte?
Basic settings in VK are located at https://vk.com/settings. To find the page in the full version of the site, click on the user name in the top right. On the phone, in the official application, you will find debugging in the section of the same name. To get to the block, click on the three bars in the lower right corner and tap on the debug icon in the upper one.
Personal information
If in the full version you select “Edit” in the drop-down list after clicking on the name, the section for filling out your profile will open. Here you can change the personal information that is displayed in the questionnaire: first and last name, interests, place of work or study.
Basic
In the block, fill in the basic contact information:
- first name, current, maiden name;
- floor;
- date of birth;
- Family status;
- hometown;
- languages you speak.
You can also indicate your relatives here. Click “Add” next to the desired degree of relationship, select a loved one from the list of friends and save.
Contacts
In the “Contacts” block, visitors to the social network can optionally select a residential address, indicate telephone numbers, a Skype login, or a link to a personal website. Link your account to Instagram or Twitter.
Mobile phones do not have to be open to everyone. Protect your numbers with privacy settings: click on the lock next to the form and choose who will see your phone numbers.
Interests
The tab contains forms for talking about your favorite music, books, games and films, main activity or hobby.
Education
Here you can indicate the institutions where you received secondary, additional or higher education. Select the desired tab, indicate the country, city and find the school or university in the generated list.
Career
“Career” is filled out in the same way. Select a country, city, enter the company name, position and years of work.
Military service
Please indicate your country of service. In the “Military unit” field, start entering the number and find the one you need in the drop-down list.
Life position
The “Life Position” section allows you to talk about a person’s worldview and position on certain issues. Users are defined with:
- Political preferences.
- Religion.
- The main thing in life and people.
- Attitude towards smoking and alcohol.
There are already answer options here, you just need to choose from those presented.
VK page settings
After “Edit” in the list there is a link where you can go to the settings in VK. The section is intended for debugging your account: changing the password, display options for menu items or personal information.
General
In “General” the site offers to configure:
- display of content, menu items on the left - you can hide or add sections to quick access;
- commenting on the wall, showing posts;
- voice function for people with disabilities;
- password, linked phone number and email;
- language;
- address – instead of ID, you can enter a nickname or name in Latin in the line.
In the mobile version, the font size, parameters for displaying the contact list, and working with third-party links and images are changed.
Safety
The tab is included in the advanced settings of VK. Allows you to protect the page with two-factor authentication, check the IP of recent visits and end sessions on devices other than the current one. The settings reduce the risk of profile hacking and help identify suspicious activity.
Privacy
The privacy section changes the level of access of outsiders to profile data. Additional privacy-related settings on VKontakte allow you to hide photos, gifts and audio recordings, open wall comments only to friends, or close messages.
Recently, you can change the profile type at the bottom of the page. When closed, outsiders see only the first name, last name and avatar.
Alerts
The block affects:
- Display pop-ups on the site.
- Sound accompaniment of messages, comments.
- Sending notifications about actions on the page by email or SMS.
Notifications can be made visible or hidden if pop-ups and emails seem intrusive.
Black list
Add a user to the list to block access to the page. The person will not be notified. When visiting a profile, the blocked person will see the last name, first name, and avatar.
Application Settings
This section of My Settings displays the apps associated with the page. If you see suspicious ones, close access by clicking on the cross.
Mobile services
In mobile services, optionally configure delivery of messages and replies via SMS. The service is paid: 3 rubles per day on MTS and MegaFon. Tele2 only writes off money for outgoing calls.
How to edit a message
Editing correspondence is not difficult. The main thing to consider is that after publishing a post in a group or a message in dialogues, the change function is available for 24 hours. To achieve this task, you will need to perform the following actions:
- Hover your mouse over the entry you want to change. Next in the right corner is an icon in the form of three dots.
- Click on it, after which a form for changing the message opens. We correct errors or completely rewrite the text and save the updated information.
- To make sure it's done correctly, refresh the page. The entry should be transformed, and next to it should appear the inscription: “Edited” with the date.
It doesn’t matter where the tool needs to be implemented, the execution method is the same everywhere. The text is corrected for all users of the social network. The only difference arises when working from mobile devices.
On the phone
It makes sense to start today’s instructions with methods for a mobile device, since they are the ones that most often cause time outages on the VKontakte social network.
Android
If you are using an Android mobile device, then to change the time in VK you will need to change the time on the device itself. To do this, you will need to perform several sequential steps:
- Open the settings section on your mobile device. Go to the very bottom of the page to find the “ System ” item. Once you find it, click directly on it.
- A new page with several items will open in front of you. You will need to click on the “ Date and time ” column.
- If you want to activate network time on your device, then you will need to click on the line “ Network date and time ”. Of course, you can edit the time manually, but if you set the network time, the time in VK will definitely be displayed correctly.
- Once you have completed this, a small window with three items will appear in the center of the screen. Select the “ Use network time ” option.
- Ready! Once you do this, manual time adjustment will become unavailable and your device will be set to the network time. Thanks to this, the time on the VKontakte social network should be displayed correctly.
iPhone
It is important to note that setting the time on an iPhone is very similar to that on an Android device. On a mobile phone with the iOS operating system, it is also possible to set the network time, or resort to manually setting the time. But still, I recommend setting the time zone correctly and activating the network time, then there will be problems with the time in social media. The VKontakte network should not arise. To do this, follow these steps:
- Open settings on your device. Find the “ Basic ” section and click on it.
- You will see a page with various settings for your gadget. Find the “ Date and Time ” column and click on it once.
- On the next page you will need to select the time zone that suits you. To begin this setup, click on the “ Time Zone ” line.
Select the setting option you need on the page, and then click on the white dot, which is located on the right side of the “ Automatic ” line. - This completes the time setting. If you have completed all the steps above correctly, your device will display the network time according to the time zone you have set. I’ll say it again that you don’t have to enable automatic time adjustment, but edit it manually. But, in my opinion, it is better to do it as presented in the instructions above.
Editing differences in the mobile version
Currently, social network specialists have provided the ability to edit messages in the full and mobile versions of the site. Please note that functional solutions for this function have not yet been developed for smartphone applications on Windows Phone, Android, iOS.
Many users are interested in the question of how to set the time in VK? Incorrectly set time causes a lot of inconvenience to account owners. In this article we will look at why the settings fail and how to fix it.
Why is the time in VK wrong?
Users of the social network Vkontakte often complain about problems with time and time zone. This is most often reflected when sending private messages. Sometimes the site shows the incorrect time of the last visit by a network user. What is the reason for this and can this issue be resolved?
Why does VKontakte time get lost?
- The social network has its own user support service, but when asked about such problems, they have only one answer: the time on the device used to log into the account is incorrectly set, or there is a virus in the system.
- Technical support specialists point out an error when setting up the belts and if you fix it, the issue will resolve itself. This answer is more plausible, but is not the only way out.
Often incorrect indication of time on the network is due to a change in time zone. If the time shows an hour back or forward, then the reason is the change of time zones in ten regions of Russia several years ago. To fix the problem, you need to update the operating system to the latest version and change the time zone to the current one. You can use automatic configuration or manually specify the desired parameter.
Setting VK time
Regardless of the version of the site used, problems over time are in one way or another always associated with incorrect system settings that require appropriate adjustment. The social network itself does not provide anything like this either on a computer or on a phone.
Method 1: Windows Time Settings
Problems with displaying the VKontakte time when using a computer are the rarest occurrence, since in this case the clock is only partially connected to the Internet. However, if you still encounter this, try opening the “Date and Time” settings, changing the “Time Zone” and, if possible, enabling automatic settings over the Internet. All required actions, as well as solutions to related problems, were described in more detail in a separate article on the website.

Method 2: Time Settings on Android
On the Android platform, system settings have a much greater impact on the official VKontakte application, even to the point of errors occurring during installation, opening or updating. Of course, date and time settings are also no exception and therefore require correct settings.
- Expand the “Settings” application and in the “System” block, click on the “Date and time” line. The exact location of the item may vary depending on the version of Android and the installed shell.
If at the time of time differences between the VK and the phone, the “Network Date and Time” and “Network Time Zone” options are enabled in this section, try disconnecting and rebooting the smartphone. However, in the opposite situation, enabling these functions can help.

How to change the time in VK?
The wrong time in VK on your phone can be corrected as follows:

- Not sure if this is correct? Check through the search engine by entering “time in (name of city or region)” and the system will display current information.
- When setting up, you must uncheck the “Update automatically” checkbox, otherwise the time will be lost the next time you start the system.
When using a computer, you can change the time settings in the system according to the instructions:
- On the taskbar, right-click on the time.
- Log in to your profile.
- Click "My Settings".
Set time zone, date and time
Your computer and mobile device are synchronized with the exact time server. Synchronization ensures information protection during data transfer, correct operation of programs and authorization on services.
If you have disabled synchronization on your device and set the time manually, set the correct time zone, otherwise you will experience problems with websites and applications.
You can check the correct time zone using the Yandex.Time service. If the time is set incorrectly, you will see a warning. Then update your device's operating system or select the time zone of your region.
macOS and iOS - settings are performed automatically.
In 2014, Russia abolished daylight saving time, changing time zones as a result. But the operating system on your device may continue to automatically change the clock. So set the new time zone instead of the old one:
