Where is the "VKontakte" feature "Possible Friends"

Now we have a conversation about the fact that there was one additional function of the social network "VKontakte": "Possible friends." This service will serve as an assistant to search for possible comrades, here everything is thought out all the best. In this section you will see a huge number of users with whom you are familiar.

"VKontakte": friends - location

There have been some changes. The usual "VKontakte" feature "Possible friends" disappeared as unnecessary - now you can find your acquaintances through the "People search" button. After clicking on this button you will immediately see a list of people who may be your friends. In fact, this should simplify the work with "VKontakte" users. For brevity, as a rule, lies talent. We will consider the innovation later. Also in addition to this new feature in the "Friends" section, a kind of a book with phone numbers is now created, where you can see the contacts of people who are interested in you.

The principle of sorting "Possible Friends"

Administrators and developers of this popular among the youth social network of their salary, of course, not for nothing. They constantly want to improve the "VC" and make it as convenient as possible for communication and information exchange, so new opportunities and functions are constantly emerging. And now, as we managed to say, the function "Possible friends" appeared.

But by what principle does this blue button work? Among users, there are many versions with answers to this question, but the true one is probably known only to developers. Most likely, this list includes only those people who already have contacts with your friends.

That is, for example, if you studied with them in one educational institution, and finished it in the same year, then, of course, they will be shown by your possible friends if you click on the link. If a certain person is listed as a friend not only from one of your friends, but from several, the likelihood that he will also be on this list is quite large.

The developers took care that possible friends were presented in the fullest possible list thanks to the button "show the rest". However, many users, clicking on this button, received the same people who have already seen in the list before, just in a different order.

Of course, someone was more fortunate, and he found many friends and acquaintances on this list. Some users reported 95% efficiency of the function. And someone did not find any matches at all. That is, the list was completely unfamiliar people. But this may be due to the fact that on your list of friends there are several such people that you do not know. Therefore, in their list there can not be at all those who would have known you.

"VKontakte": "Possible friends" are gone

Recently, the Internet literally blew up messages that "Possible Friends" "VKontakte" disappeared. Everyone is interested, where exactly this function disappeared? In the same order they only glow to users who have just registered, but that's bad luck: as soon as their list of friends is replenished at least to one hundred, "Possible friends" disappear.

If you do not know how to look for possible friends "VKontakte", remember that now you can find this undoubtedly useful function by clicking on the "Friends" column in the left list, and then on "Search" on the right side of the screen. The search will show only those people with whom you have many friends in common, since the VKontakte administration has decided that it will be much more convenient and effective to work with the site.

This function is certainly useful, but only it needs a little refinement. There are users who have hidden their friends in privacy settings. Is that how to be with them? They think that their hidden friends are now only seen by them, but that's not true, in fact, in the "Possible Friends" an absolutely outsider can see that he is on your list. After all, the "VKontakte" feature "Possible friends" in any case takes into account the users hidden from prying eyes, and developers need to think about it.

Criticism from users of the social network in which the update was made

Many people perceive this update of the social network as hostile because they are too wrong, in their opinion, the developers understand the word "friends", because we usually communicate with our friends live, not "VKontakte", right? Perhaps they should call this function "Possible acquaintances," and skewed views, and negative feedback would then be less. In the meantime, we figured out where possible friends of VKontakte are now.
