If a respected user of a well-known social network has never wondered how to hide friends in VKontakte, then he can safely be called a sincere and open person.
Let's omit subjective judgments, conclusions and reasoning about why someone needs it. However, this is not important. Each of us has our own reasons for this, which, of course, no one will expand on. Let's just do a little research on this burning topic on how to hide VKontakte friends. Everything is quite simple: you do not need to download any programs and do something tricky. If you are offered to download and install any suspicious program on your PC in order to activate a service that allows you to hide friends, or to view the hidden friends of any user, then you should know that you are definitely being deceived.
And now to the point: how to hide friends in VKontakte
All you need is the VKontakte.ru website itself. We go to our page, you can proceed to the main operation. In the left corner isa kind of menu that you probably already had time to explore. You need to find a button called "My Settings" and click on it.
A page with your general settings will appear, but you won't need it for now. We look at the top corner of the page and look for the “Privacy” tab (it is usually the second from the left). Click. We find the subheading "My Page" and look for the line there "Who is visible in the list of my friends and subscriptions." Congratulations! The hardest part is over. Now you know how to hide VKontakte friends! By default, it says "All Friends". We click on this inscription, a window with all your friends appears on the left, and an empty field on the right, in which in a moment you will select those people whose faces you want to protect from prying eyes. To do this, simply click on the plus sign next to the name of the "open" friend, and he automatically moves to the right column - the hidden list of VKontakte friends, thereby becoming invisible to the rest of your friends, and not only for friends, but for all users in general. But that's not all. In order to finally make sure that no one can see the list of VKontakte friends, find the line "Who sees my hidden friends." Here you need to choose the answer option “only me”.
Hurrah! Mission accomplished!
Now no one particularly curious will be able to see your hidden list of friends in VKontakte. Or can it still? Of course, there is one way. But it is insanely time consuming and very inefficient. They should only be used in emergencies,when "blood from the nose" you need to find out the hidden contact. The way is that you go a little from the other side. That is, you are not looking for a hidden friend from a certain person, but, on the contrary, the right person from one of the users of the contact. In order to somehow narrow the search circle, you can click "My friends", and then select "Possible friends" in the right menu. In this case, the search will return people who are not on your friends list, but you have mutual friends. It is here that you can find the person with whom you are trying to view hidden friends in VKontakte. As you can see, this method cannot be attributed to easy and fast, but still, it is better than nothing at all. Believe me, this is the only way. If you are offered to download a program that supposedly allows you to see a hidden list of VKontakte friends - do not believe it! At best, it will not work, and at worst, your page will be hacked.
