When will the update for vkontakte for ipad. How to return the old version of VKontakte to iPhone (iOS). Open settings and that's it.
Russia is a peculiar country, which in many cases works autonomously. Nothing unusual when you consider that it has about 150 million inhabitants and its great influence on neighboring countries. And if they are independent in many ways, why not on the Internet? Well, it is. For example, they have their own search system"Yandex", and the social network VKontakte, the most popular in the country.
Russian version of Facebook
This is how this web service is known, mainly due to the similarity to the platform developed by Mark Zuckerberg and the Menlo Park company. The fact is that VK was invented by brothers Pavel and Nikolai Durov, creators of Telegram Messenger, an instant messaging app that, despite not being a threat to WhatsApp (also owned by Facebook), is still installed on millions of smartphones around the world.
As for the official iPhone application of this Russian social network, we encounter functions similar to those of FB. In other words, we can set up a user profile, and post photos, things that come to mind, send messages to our friends, like, share photos, follow interesting pages and profiles.
- Customize your user page, including your personal details such as name, age, or profile photo.
- Create albums to separate photos and videos.
- Meet new people and add users to your friends page.
- Send private messages with emojis and stickers.
- Share photos and use the editor to enhance them with filters and effects.
- Be part of user groups and communities that are similar to your interests.
- Play social network games.
- Play videos and songs.
However, this online service goes beyond Facebook as it includes other features that can be compared to YouTube or online music streaming platforms such as Pandora or Spotify, trying to collect most of the social features used by Internet users.
The social network "VKontakte" announced the release of completely updated mobile and iOS. Literally everything has changed in them - both new functions for users and a redesigned user interface have appeared. Update earlier this month.
New for leading mobile platforms, they have lost the side navigation menu that opens by clicking on the hamburger menu. From now on, the so-called tabbar is used - a single panel at the bottom of the screen, which combines the key functionality of the social network. Thus, now users can literally switch between news, messages, notifications and search with just one touch.
In addition, VKontakte's biggest update for Android and iOS also introduces brand new recommendations and search sections. They include records, videos, live broadcasts, stories, communities and personal pages that may be of interest to the user. Basically it will be novice musicians, photographers and writers. The recommendations are based on the new Prometheus algorithm - with the help of it, the social network plans to promote high-quality content.
Today, 09/27/2017, I was surprised to find that on my iPhone, and on other phones with the Android OS, it became possible to update . The update of Mobile VK has to be taken for granted, a sharp transition to a new look.
Quick navigation:
A new look of the VK mobile application.
At first glance, very interesting, something new! But after a few seconds, when I could not find the “Messages” tab in the menu, I was confused and I remembered all these crappy services from mail ru. Of course, VK is no longer Pavel Durov. A wave of indignation swept through my head with slogans like: “Bring Durov back!” ...
What's new and good?
And there really is good, no matter how anyone says anything. After all, everything new is always perceived with hostility.
New menu (More convenient with a large screen)
All the most important functions are placed on the bottom panel, the rest of the menu items are now in the lower right corner. With such an interface, it has really become more convenient and, for example, you can get to messages in 1 click.
Now owners of smartphones with a large screen, it will be much more convenient to use the application. Previously, the menu button was at the top and in order to use it, you needed a second hand or incredible tricks with one.
Now this very menu is at the bottom and you can easily click it with your thumb.
Answers "Bell"
Now all the most important, friends, likes and reposts, everything is collected in one paragraph. There are also notification settings, now you can perform fine tuning notifications, for yourself. Leave only what is really important to you.
Improved Search
The new version uses a single input field for search, here you can find a person, group, records, videos and music. The search has become more interactive, to the fore the algorithm displays information based on the user's preferences.
To disable safe search, you still need to switch in the browser (See).
Less significant changes in the new VC.
As soon as I put the first one, I noticed that it turned red, it immediately reminded me of Instagram. Previously, when pressed, it acquired a darker, blue color. What I immediately liked was the very neatly executed elements under the news, likes, messages, and views. Now they look more harmonious and stylish.
By the way, Vkontakte music now has a listening limit, how to get around this innovation (See).
How do you like innovation?
Now it is too early to give a definite answer, it takes time and this time can make us get used to the new design and functionality. Welcome pictures telling about new features are made in a disgusting style, where that simple design got used to it. Now just add a beige background and it will be ala Odnoklassniki ...
Surely in the near future there will be a lot of controversy, for better or worse, but we will have to shove a new update, redesign 2017.
As for the changes, at first glance, you can see that the messaging function has been moved from the main menu to a separate lower tray icon, reminded WhatsApp. Of course, if you take all the changes, then VK has become more like Facebook and a little like Instagram.
