— July 26, 2021 14:35 — 0 Comments Many users want to be on VK offline, but realizing the idea is not so easy. Every time a transition to a new page of the site occurs, the server receives information and updates the status of being online. However, a special service or application developed for the two most popular mobile platforms – Android and iOS – will help VKontakte remain partially invisible.
Method 1. Plugin
Browser extensions are a treasure trove of useful additions for any occasion. Of all the solutions presented, the best is “Vkfox”. Before attempting to install it, make sure you have a Chrome, Mozilla Firefox or Opera browser. There is no support for other browsers, and those based on Chromium do not work well with the basic functions of the add-on. So, the user needs to go to the official website of the plugin - https://vkfox.io or find the add-on in the extension store of your browser manufacturer. Then, you need to click on the “Install” button.
A small window will appear asking you to install it on your computer. Click add - and we get a new icon with the image of a fox in the tab with other plugins.
After this, you will be prompted to go to the main part and allow VKfox to access your page data. Click “Allow” and get full access to the extension’s functions.
If necessary, click on it with the left mouse button to highlight the entire range of available settings. In addition to changes regarding the notification sound in the plugin itself, there is an option called “Always online”. By default, there is a checkmark opposite it, but we need to put a cross.
After this, you will again be able to access your page in “Offline” mode. But as promising as this may sound, there are certain restrictions regarding activity on the page.
You will remain inactive for other users until the moment you decide to write a message, like a photo or post. The whole problem lies in the system of the network itself. However, this is the easiest method to remain invisible while surfing the pages of your favorite site.
Browser settings
You can make someone invisible in Contact by manipulating the network settings of the browser. In Opera you need:
- open settings;
- in the “General” item, go to “Advanced”;
- in the “Network” block, uncheck “Enable automatic redirection”;
- close settings and log into VK;
- put the checkbox back in the settings.
Invisibility will only be in effect until you update your VK page. If you do not return the checkmark in the settings, the “Offline” mode will persist even after the site is reloaded. But you will have to enter the password every time you switch to another resource in the next tab and return back.
Method 2. Special programs
In addition to extensions, there is full-fledged software that can protect your activity from prying eyes. One of the first programs that allowed you to stay “offline” was “Vklife”. Among its analogues, it stands out due to its pleasant interface and a large number of auxiliary functions that regular network users will definitely like.
The main feature of this software is the ability to remain “offline” even while listening to music and communicating with close friends. With prolonged use, this function begins to malfunction, so at any time you can exit the invisible mode, and a green light will light up next to your avatar. By the way, the program deserves attention not only because of its unique opportunity to remain unnoticed.
In addition to the already mentioned VKlife, there are no less popular ways to bypass the site’s restrictions. Surely those who witnessed the development of the mobile Internet remember such instant messengers as “ICQ” and “QIP”. Now they have almost been forgotten, but in order to at least a little stir up interest in their products, the developers have added the ability to log in to VK through their programs. Some versions also have the coveted button to switch to stealth mode. It is best to download them from the official website - https://qip.ru/.
Use your browser's functionality
Using the capabilities of the browser to read messages on VK is very effective. Do the following:
- Launch your VK, go to the “Messages” section, but do not click on an unread message;
- In the search bar (at the very top) enter the user's first and last name. All his and your messages will be displayed below, including those unread by you;
- Check out their contents.
If one of these unread messages is large and you cannot read it completely, then do the following:
- Re-display the list of messages with user data as described above;
- Hover your mouse cursor over such an unread message and click with the RIGHT mouse button (not the left, but the right);
- In the menu that appears, select “View code” (Chrome browser), “Inspect element” (Mozilla) or another appropriate option from your browser developer at the very bottom;
- In the HTML code window that opens, you will see the full version of the specified text content and will be able to read it. However, it will not have the read status;
View the html code of the desired message and find the required text there - Close the developer window and leave VK.
Method 3. Opera browser
It is worth noting right away that this technique does not always work. If you still want to try, then make sure that you have a clean version of the browser and not Next. To switch to hidden mode, you will need to perform a number of steps.
- Open the browser menu and find “Settings” there (you can press the key combination “Alt+P”).
- We find the “General Settings” section, here you need to pay attention to the “Advanced” tab and the sub-item called “Network”.
- Uncheck the box next to the “Enable automatic direction” function.
After the completed operation, all that remains is to enter your data at this address - https://vkontakte.ru/login.php. A message will definitely appear letting you know that everything was done correctly. Now you need to go to any social network page.
Please note that you cannot visit your account or links to other people’s pages on VKontakte, otherwise the system will automatically switch you to visible mode. In order to complete this kind of monitoring, you need to return the checkbox to its place. Let us repeat once again that this can only work with the Opera browser.
Become invisible without third-party applications
This method is the simplest. In order for friends to see you in the “offline” status for some time, you need to go to “Messages” and not perform any actions on the page for about 20-25 minutes.
Without activity, the account will go “offline”. This method will work until you refresh the My Page tab or start scrolling through other people's pages.
The second way is to add news or music to your Favorites. By clicking on the link, you can listen to songs or scroll through news items and be “offline”.
Method 4. Mirrors
The urge to be hidden while online sometimes reaches unfathomable limits. Another effective method can be “mirror” services. They provide alternative links for authorization on certain resources. Most office workers are familiar with them, who, due to restrictions from their superiors, cannot engage in personal affairs while at work.
These services encrypt the connection so that it is invisible to network administrators or even the site itself. This clever move allows you to remain inside your account as if you had never logged in at all. The main problem with such solutions is that the data obtained by such sites can be forwarded to third parties. Simply put, if you decide to use a site like https://apidog.ru/auth.php, take care to change your password.
This method works not only on desktop operating systems, but also on mobile devices.
Method 5. Invisibility via phone
Before VK radically changed, offline mode was available even on the official client. Of course, this required entering a special combination and changing additional settings. Now the debugging has been removed and everyone who wants to regain their invisible status is left with only the Kate Mobile application.
This is a client from third-party developers, which differs significantly in its interface from what many are familiar with on Android. The desired function is in the settings and works according to the already familiar scheme described in the method with the plugin.
The user remains invisible to others until the moment he decides to write a message, turn on music or like a photo. After which, for 10-15 seconds the account will be listed as “Online”, and then will go into invisible mode.
The developers will not be able to remove such a trifle, because the mode itself has been forever erased from the social network.
With this, all the most effective methods for invisibility have come to an end. Choose the option you like best and try it in practice. If you decide to use third-party resources where you will need to provide a password, do not forget to change it later.
Invisibility in VK without programs
Invisibility programs for a computer can only work if certain conditions are met. Whatever application you use on your computer with invisibility, you will have to observe the following:
- Opening dialogues interrupts the invisibility process.
- If you decide to write a message to a friend, then the VK invisible will stop working.
- If you open the news page, you will also have to say goodbye to this mode.
Regardless of which client you use, you will have to avoid these points.
Please note that there is no full stealth mode in VK, and perhaps there never will be. The developers removed this feature from the source code, and no one has yet managed to get around it.
Decide for yourself how to sit on VKontakte: invisible or not. After all, you will have to be guided by the fact that you cannot read messages, view news, or enter dialogues. A special advantage of why it is worth logging into VKontakte invisible is spying on the page of a specific user. The function will be very useful to many.
Setting up email notifications
If on a social network the main thing you want to observe is the text of incoming messages, then you should not be upset or think that this is impossible. You should immediately discard the idea of connecting notifications, because most of the text there is hidden.
In order for invisibility to work stably in VK, you will have to set up notifications that arrive by mail. Thanks to this, you can read the entire text of the message, but if they are too large, only a fragment will be displayed.
To do this, you need to go to “Settings” and then go to the “Notifications” section. Check the boxes so that all messages arrive by e-mail, and also do not forget to set them to arrive “Always”.
Now you can read SMS at any time, without fear that the downloaded VKontakte invisible will stop working properly. You can immediately see who entered into a dialogue with you and at what time. At the same time, this will be a great plus if you accidentally delete an important message. You will always have a duplicate by email.
We look at the pages of friends
Without entering your details, open the page of the person selected for surveillance. If you cannot gain access in this way, then you need to use the APIdog service. Be careful not to open private messages, news or conversations. This is the only way to stay offline in VK from a computer.
Be careful: by providing personal data to the service, you expose your page to the risk of hacking by attackers. If you are not ready to take such a risk, then think carefully before installing the program.
