You can delete a VK page from a phone or tablet using a mobile browser. This is done as simply and quickly as possible for the user.

Removal is done both for a certain time and generally forever. The main thing is to decide for yourself exactly what you want to get from it.

In the previous article, we already looked at how to delete a page on VK, where we looked at how this is done on a computer. Now we will focus on iPhone, Android smartphones, as well as tablets, and you will learn how to remove yourself from VK on these mobile devices.

Interesting! At the moment, there is no function for deleting a profile in any official VKontakte application for iPhone and Android. According to the developers, the application was created for communication and should not have such unnecessary functions.

By the way, if you uncheck the “Tell friends” checkbox, then there will be no message on the wall stating that the profile has been deleted, but it will take on the following form:

How to delete the VKontakte application

Since your VKontakte account has been deactivated, you will no longer need the VK application and can delete it to free up some space in your phone memory.

Hold your finger on the icon of any game or program until the icons begin to shake. Click on the cross located in the upper left corner of the VK application icon and confirm the action by selecting “Delete”. Finally, press the “Home” key or click on “Done” if you have a frameless iPhone with Face ID.

On stock Android

Open the application list or stay on the home screen if there is no menu in the launcher. Then drag the VKontakte icon to the trash. To confirm deleting the application, select "OK" in the window that appears.

Delete from mobile phone

And now a little instructions on how you can delete a VK page from your phone and what you need to do to do this. By the way, it is important to remember that you can delete something from your smartphone, but the official VKontakte application is completely unsuitable for this. The developers decided not to add such a function, so you will have to turn to the mobile version of the site. Well, here are the instructions:

• We go from the phone to the mobile version of the site and log in if necessary;
• Click on the button in the form of three lines, which is located in the lower right corner;

• Scroll to the very bottom until we find the “Settings” tab;

• Open the “Account” tab;

• Scroll down and look for “You can delete your page.”

All that remains is to choose a reason or write your own and that’s it, the job is done.

Precautions when deleting a page

The same as when deleting a VKontakte page from a laptop or PC, when deleting from a mobile it is very advisable to take some precautions. In order to easily restore access to your account after hacking or in other cases, the VKontakte administration requires you to link your profile to your current phone number and email. If you plan to delete absolutely all data from the system, and not just use another account, then you need to take certain measures. In addition, after deletion, the page is still associated with the phone number, which is why it is impossible to link a new profile to it.

► Important! You need to unlink the number from the page before deleting it. If you have already done this, then at the end of the article there are instructions on how to restore your profile.

The functions of the unlocked and current page are necessary to unlink the number, otherwise you will have to wait seven months until the data completely disappears from the system:

1. After logging in to the site, you need to go to the profile menu by clicking on the button in the form of a column of three stripes in the upper left corner of the site.
2. Open settings. From the list of tabs, select “Alerts”.
3. An empty input field will open. You need to enter a code into it, which should arrive at the attached phone number within 15 minutes. If the code does not arrive after the deadline, you can resend it by clicking on the link below the field.
4. Now notifications from VKontakte will stop coming to your phone, and you can no longer access the page from this number.

► Important! After unlinking the phone number from the page, you can only access your account to delete it through your email address.

If you plan to permanently and irrevocably delete your account, then after unlinking the number, you can refuse the email address to which the page is linked. Then change the password to a random set of numbers and letters and not remember it, and then simply delete the profile. Now it will be almost impossible to go to the deleted page and recover, since there is no data about the user at all (separate instructions on how to delete a VKontakte page if you have forgotten your login and password). This method is great for those who want to end their social media addiction.

► Attention! Even after deletion, ratings and comments will remain online. If your real name and surname were indicated in your profile, then it won’t hurt to change them before deleting.

Owners of smartphones with iOS or Android operating systems most often access social networks using applications, so as not to waste time each time entering a login and password, but to log into VK without hassle. In this regard, the question comes up: how to delete your VKontakte page through applications on your phone?

How to block

There are several methods for blocking a profile without deleting it:

1. Official, when we hide the page from others and continue to use it ourselves.
2. A “gray” method that will help block it forever.

Close through privacy settings

This method is suitable if you want to hide your profile from everyone, but continue to use it, for example, to listen to music or scroll through the news. To do this you will need to use the privacy settings:

• We go to VK;
• In the upper right corner, click on the checkmark and select “Settings”;

• Go to the “Privacy” subsection;
• Scroll down and look for the “Other” subsection.
• We set in the items “Who can see my page on the Internet” – “Only to VKontakte users”, and the profile type – “Private”.

• Next, we close personal messages so that no one can write messages to us.

This method does not delete the account completely, but it will protect it from prying eyes.

"Gray" removal method

If you are suddenly interested in how to completely and permanently delete a VKontakte page without the possibility of subsequent restoration, then there is one reliable, albeit not entirely legal, way to do this: you will have to break the rules of the social network. Doesn't sound like much, right? Therefore, I present it purely for information purposes and categorically do not recommend using it. It’s better to go straight to the point with data changes, it’s simpler, faster, and most importantly there won’t be any problems. And no matter what, your conscience will also remain clear.

So, the method: we look for any box where they ask you to repost or send a link to your friends with this very box. We send out, receive a bunch of complaints and after a while we are banned as spammers. We will become unwanted users, and the page can only be restored through technical support. The job is done, the profile is blocked.

This is a relatively effective method, but, as I said above, I do not recommend using it. The fact is that VKontakte filters perfectly remember all this information and subsequently, if we suddenly decide to make money on VK, and not just communicate, serious problems may arise.

How to remove yourself from social media networks finally and forever

This question may seem strange to some after the removal instructions given, but it makes sense and is asked by many.

Indeed, deleting a profile simply temporarily blocks access to information, but all your materials, photos, videos, correspondence, etc. do not disappear anywhere. They are all stored on the same server, in the same form as before.

You can restore a deleted account in a second at any time and see everything in its original place. Even direct links to your photos and videos will work fine if you simply enter them into the browser at any interval after deletion.

So what happens: it’s impossible to completely remove yourself from a social network? The answer is probably both yes and no. It is impossible in principle to delete something from the Internet forever, so that no traces remain. Hiding from problems with the law by deleting the page will also not work.

Upon official request, the technical agent. support will provide all the information from the remote account. There is no protection from this, but if something else is bothering you, you can isolate yourself from the profile as much as possible and cut off all paths for the user to restore the account.

Here's what you can do before deleting:

1. Replace all information with fake information. City, age, place of work, contacts. If possible, change your first and last name as well. For the first time or when changing from one simple Russian name to another, administration verification will not be required.
2. Delete all photos with your face. Yes, they won’t go away, but these are measures not against the VK administration, but against attackers at the same access level as you.
3. In the page privacy settings, specify the strictest restrictions possible. In options like Who can see, Who can write everywhere, set the values ​​to Only me and Nobody.
4. Change the password and delete the mailbox if it is specified in the settings.
5. Unlink the phone number from the page.

Rename or link new data

This method will help you simply forget about your social network account. Literally. And the first thing you need to do is change all the data from real to any other. Then we delete photos and videos and go buy a SIM card to change the associated phone number. Well, or something better, faster, cheaper and more reliable - take and rent it on the same onlinesim. After this, you need to change the number to a new one in the settings and change the password to some kind of gobbledygook. Accordingly, we don’t remember it.

So, we delete everything, change the number, password, exit the profile, throw away the SIM card, and roll the phone into concrete and drown it in the river (you can skip the last point, it was written just like that, to give the desired atmosphere). Now we won’t be able to access the page and there won’t even be any way to restore it. Actually, everything that we were striving for.

Restoring a deleted VK profile via phone

Following this algorithm, you can restore a deleted VKontakte profile via a mobile phone:

1. Go through your browser to the official VKontakte website.
2. Enter the login and password of the remote profile. A page will open notifying you that your page has been deleted. Instead of an avatar, there will be a logo in the form of a cartoon dead dog, which is standard for blocked and deleted accounts.
3. There is an inscription right above the logo informing you that you can restore your page. You need to click on it. The system will ask you to repeat this action so that the restoration does not happen accidentally.

If a new VK page is already linked to your old number, and therefore you cannot access your deleted page, simply link the new page to a different number. Then you can go to the deleted profile and restore it. Before deleting your entire page, you should understand your privacy settings and change them to your taste. The reason why you have to delete a profile can often be corrected without resorting to such drastic measures as completely deleting the page.

How to recover

Now that we’ve figured out how to delete everything, let’s move on to how to restore a deleted page back. If you deleted it using official methods, then just click on the “Restore” button. The account and information will be restored, and we will be able to continue using the social network. As a last resort, you can always contact technical support.

If you used gray methods, alas, nothing will help here. All that remains is to create a new one and, as they say, start from scratch.
