Why was the version updated?
The new version of the popular social network VKontakte was introduced only in April 2016. The previous version is outdated, because it has existed for a long period of time. It should be noted that the first time, when representatives of the social. networks tested a newdesign, each user had the opportunity to independently connect a new version, after which, if he did not like it or was inconvenient, he had the opportunity to return the old one.
Later, the specialists launched a new version for everyone and removed the ability to return to the old one. It was then that people began to ask questions about how to return the old version of VK after the update.
New version of VKontakte
On June 9 last 2016, about 10% of VK users were connected to the new version of the social network. This was done forcibly, since the update happened on its own, and it was not possible for them to return the outdated version of the site. However, everything did not end there, because on August 17, 2016, the VKontakte social network completely updated its design for all users. At the same time, the opportunity to return to the old version disappeared for each registered person in the social. network.
After that, people have been trying for a long period of time to find out if it is possible to return the old version of VK. Also, if the answer is yes, then they want to know how it can be done. As representatives of the social network VKontakte say, there will never be a return to the old version of the site!
Partial refund
It is rather problematic to completely return the old version of VKontakte, but some changes can still be made. As you know, the update completely changed the look of the dialogs. To keep the design of messages the way they werea few years ago, you need to go to the "Messages" section. Next, at the bottom right, you will find a gear on which you need to hover over the mouse and select "Go to the classic interface".
By following the previous steps, you can return the classic dialog box, but everything else will remain unchanged, since it is impossible to return the previous version of the VK social network without any additional actions and special applications!
