Now we have a conversation about the fact that one additional function of the VKontakte social network has appeared: “Possible friends”. This service will serve as an assistant for finding possible comrades, everything has been thought out very well here. In this section you will see a huge number of users with whom you are familiar.
VKontakte: friends - location
Some changes have occurred. The familiar function "VKontakte" "Possible friends" disappeared as unnecessary - now you can find friends through the button "Search for people". 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. Behind laconicism, as a rule, lies a talent. We will consider the innovation later. Also, in addition to this new feature in the "Friends" section, a kind of book with phone numbers has now been created, where you can see the contacts of people who interest you.
The principle of sorting "Possible friends"
Administrators and developers of this popular among young people social networks, naturally, get their salary for good reason. They constantly want to improve "VK" and make it as convenient as possible for communication and information exchange, therefore new opportunities and functions are constantly appearing. And now, as we managed to say, the function "Possible friends" has 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, only those people who already have contacts with your friends are on this list.
That is, for example, if you studied with them at the same educational institution, and also completed it in the same year, then, of course, they will be shown by your potential friends if you click on the specified link. If a certain person will be listed as friends not only with one of your friends, but with several, then the likelihood that he will also be on this list is quite high.
The developers made sure that possible friends were represented in the most complete list thanks to the "show others" button. However, many users, by clicking on this button, received the same people whom they had already seen in the list earlier, only in a different order.
Of course, someone was more fortunate, and he found many friends and acquaintances on this list. Some users have reported a 95% efficiency feature. And someone did not find any matches at all. That is, completely unfamiliar people were on the list. But this may be due to the fact that there are several people on your friends list whom you do not know. Therefore, in their list there can not be at all those who would be familiar to you.
"VKontakte": "Possible friends" are gone
Recently, the Internet has literally been blown up by reports that the “Possible Friends” of VKontakte have disappeared. Everyone is interested in where exactly this function disappeared? In the previous order, they shine only to users who have just registered, but here's the misfortune: as soon as their list of friends is replenished at least up to a hundred, “Possible Friends” disappear.
If you don’t know how to see possible VKontakte friends, 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. Only people with whom you have a lot of friends will be shown in the search, as the VKontakte administration decided that it would be much more convenient and efficient to work with the site.
This function is certainly useful, only it needs a little refinement. After all, there are users who in the privacy settings have hidden their friends. How then to be with them? They think that only they can see their hidden friends, but no, in fact, in “Possible Friends” a completely stranger can see what you have on your list. After all, the VKontakte function “Possible Friends” in any case takes into account users hidden from prying eyes, and developers should definitely think about it.
Criticism from users of the social network in which they updated
Many people take this update of the social network with hostility because it is too wrong, in their opinion, the developers understand the word "friends", because we usually communicate live with our friends, not VKontakte, right? Perhaps they should call this function “Possible acquaintances”, and then the oblique views and negative reviews would become less. Meanwhile, we figured out where potential VKontakte friends are now.
