Hello!
You have already learned a lot about the VKontakte social network: how to register for free, what a VK page is, how to change the password for the page and how to block a person. We also discussed other questions, to the right of the article there is a VKontakte section, you can find answers there to topics that interest you on VK, or use the search.
It turns out that many VK users also do not know the answers to simple questions, such as: what is an ID, how to find out the id of a VK page, how to change your id, how can you find out the id of any group or page.
Do you know how to view the ID? If not, I invite you to read this article.
Why do you need to know your id? Knowing it is very important, because when you contact VK support, you will be asked for this data. It’s also very convenient to give your ID to friends if they can’t find you via search.
Let's look at everything from the very beginning, what is ID and what is it eaten with))
How to find out VK id
Using the browser's address bar
There are several ways to find out your VK ID. Simple - go to your My Page profile, look at the address bar of your browser.
The numbers at the end are a unique identification number , or id . This way you can find out someone else's number or a friend. What to do if instead of numbers in the address bar there are letters - a short link?
How to find out id from a short link
How to find out your VK ID if the name is:
- Go to Settings
- In the Page Address block, click Edit
- Copy the page number - this is the id.
Someone else's profile:
- Go to user page
- Hover over a page control
- Look at the contents of the link in the browser content line (bottom left) or click on any page element
- After clicking, look for the link in the address bar. It contains the user code, highlighted in bold.
— Friends — vk.com/friends?id= XXXXX §ion=all — Mutual friends — vk.com/friends?id= XXXXX §ion=common — Photo — vk.com/flylllink?z=albums XXXXX — Video — vk .com/videos XXXXX - Marks - vk.com/tag XXXXX - Avatar - vk.com/flylllink?z=photo XXXXX _406774735%2Falbum XXXXX _0%2Frev - Write a message, Go to dialogue - vk.com/im?media= &sel= XXXXX - All entries - vk.com/wall XXXXX - News (user's news feed, not yours) - vk.com/feed?section=source&source= XXXXX - Gifts - vk.com/gifts XXXXX
Using the app
Connect the Find out ID application using the short link vk.com/app604480. Paste the link, click the button.
How to find out id if blacklisted
Use the app or do:
- Go to the page of the person who added to the blacklist, click Actions, then Add to bookmarks.
- Go to Bookmarks, select the People tab. Find the person on the list.
- Hover your mouse over the avatar so that the magnifying glass appears, but do not click.
- Click right click the mouse and copy the avatar link.
- Open a text editor and paste the contents of the clipboard. Highlighted in bold is the id of the person who blacklisted:
vk.com/albums XXXXX
Find number in html code
In the code of any profile, the ID is repeated more than 100 times. And yours is about 10 on any other person’s page if you are logged in. For example, in the header after ads_rotate_interval.
Someone else's profile number follows the codes:
href=”/photo onclick=”return Profile.showGiftBox href=”/feed?section=source&source= href=”/videos href=”/wall
etc.
Find out your id if you forgot your password
Browser browsing history can help. Start entering your first and last name in the address bar for which you are registered, the browser will find the account link from the history. Example for Google Chrome:
Or go through the settings in the search history, find the link.
When a short link is used, carefully review your browser history; you may have visited a section with photos, music, etc. The situation is worse when there is no access to history. Then there is nothing left to do, call your friends and ask them to dictate the code. This article will help them.
Find out if a page is blocked
Proceed as in the previous case:
— see browser history;
- ask friends for help.
If you need to find out the code of someone else’s frozen page and there is no correspondence with the blocked person, only the application vk.com/app604480 . Even knowledge of html code will not help.
View id from phone
To watch from your phone through the app, use a little trick. Copy the profile link or wall post links.
Go to your page, to the required profile, click the 3 dots in the upper right corner, select Copy link.
The link will contain a unique code if it has not been changed to a short link. Sometimes it is more convenient to select Open in browser and see the profile link in the address bar.
To ensure that the link contains a unique number, copy the address of the post on the wall:
The link has the address vk.com/durov?w=wall 1 _1524989, the numbers after wall are a unique code.
Paste the link into a text editor, send an SMS to yourself, or start writing a new post on your wall:
Select the required code and you're done.
You can find out your ID from your phone through the settings if you haven’t changed it to an alphabetic one. For windows:
Coming up with a unique name
How to change “ID” in “VK”? As already mentioned, users can come up with a unique address in Latin. Therefore, we will further consider the described option.
To use it, you need:
- Log in to your VK profile.
- Open "Settings". To do this, you will have to click on the arrow next to the user’s avatar in the upper right corner and select the appropriate line.
- Scroll the page to the “Page Address” item.
- Click on the “Change” hyperlink.
- Type a pre-designed short address.
- Click on the button labeled “Change”.
After the actions taken, the changes will take effect. Now it’s clear how to change the “ID” in “VK”. This is the only option for the development of events.
How to change id in VK
Before changing your id, find out its history.
Where did the numbers come from, and why exactly what they are? This is the serial number of the questionnaire, assigned during registration (how to register). For example, the profile address is vk.com/id150, which means the 150th profile has been registered. If the group address is vk.com/club1, where the ID is the numbers after the word club, this is the first registered VK group. Look at your numbers, think about how many profiles have been created before you :).
There are no accounts with the same numbers, just like groups and communities. Even if the old profile is deleted or blocked, no one will register the profile or receive this number. Will remain forever assigned to the old owner, except for rare exceptions.
Some ids do not exist in nature: 13 and 666 have never belonged to any user.
Do you think the creator of VK is a superstitious person? If you know other magical IDs, write in the comments.
It is impossible to change the number to other numbers; you will have to register again. When registering, you cannot select the desired numbers. Another option is to buy an account with a nice number and verify it on your mobile phone.
Information for webmasters
More precisely, for all SEOs, satellites, doorway developers, in other words, for all those who promote something and make money from something. Use all kinds of keywords, because I read somewhere that Pashka Durov plans to open contact pages for indexing by search engines, so then it will be possible to drain traffic from VKontakte profiles to all kinds of dating, pharma, adult and other affiliate programs. I think you yourself know that VKontakte is a trusted resource and its pages will rank well in the tops. I hope you have a bunch of extra working SIM cards so you can occupy more keywords.

What is Page ID
How to change the “ID” address in “VK”? First, it is important to understand what we are talking about.
ID is a unique identifier for a page on a social network. In VK, this combination usually consists of a series of numbers. It appears in the address bar after the letters ID.
The ID helps:
- quickly search for a user;
- block/unblock pages;
- top up your profile account in VK;
- make the username a link when writing posts.
Without this element it is impossible to work on a social network. But how to change the “ID” in “VK”?
How to find out and change group id
All methods for the profile are working and for the group. Let's highlight the main ones: application, browser address bar, links of group elements.
vk.com/wall- XXXXX _443752 vk.com/im?sel=- XXXXX vk.com/search?c[section]=people&c[group]= XXXXX , etc.
The one in bold is the group ID you are looking for.
A closed group is defined in the same way:

You cannot change the id of a VK group to an arbitrary digital one. An unallocated alphabetic or native numeric is available.
ID and why is it needed?
VKontakte ID is a set of uniquely selected numbers. This is the page code of the user, group or public, its permanent address. It is automatically generated and assigned to the user’s page immediately at the time of registration, that is, its creation, and serves as its permanent address, as well as for identification. This numeric value is displayed in the address bar of the tab.
But, today among VKontakte users it is very popular to change this digital value to a beautiful and memorable letter address. Is it possible to replace the identification, unique number of your page with a letter address and how to do this?
