Its daily audience has more than 40 million people. Constantly improving, changing VK settings,appearance, functions, this network is not inferior to others and creates new opportunities for its users.
VK design update
On August 1, 2016, the VKontakte social network team completed the main work on the new design, which lasted more than a year and a half, and turned it on to a limited number of users in test mode. Those 10% who agreed to test this update were pleasantly surprised, after which, in a voluntary-compulsory manner, the new design was displayed on all accounts. A lot has changed: VK settings, font, functions, general interface, etc.
Many bugs were also fixed, and VKontakte began to work faster. About 2500 changes to the old design have led the VK team to a completely different look, different from what it has been for the last 10 years. Many were happy with the positive changes, but some did not accept the new design, and complaints poured in towards the VKontakte team. But still, such an update was a step forward, and no one will return to the obsolete one.
Where are the settings in VK of the new design?
Settings in the new VK are not displayed on the left, as it was in previous versions. Anyone who paid attention to this must have suffered in their search. In the new design, VK settings can be opened as follows: the top blue panel in the right corner displays the username and thumbnail of the account, and next to it is a small light arrow. By clicking on it, after the section "My Page" and "Edit" you can findnecessary settings. There were no significant changes in them. In the "General" menu, the "Page settings" column has been supplemented with the "Accessibility" item for people who need voice synthesizer voice for some account controls. VK settings still give access to page security, privacy, alerts, blacklist, application settings, mobile services and payments.
There is no opportunity to switch to the old VKontakte design, which means that such a function is also not provided in the settings. The VK team promises to refine all update errors, if any are found. The new design gave VKontakte a new life and significantly improved the level of its work.
