The most popular social network in the CIS is Vkontakte. She has been working since 2006. But, despite such a relatively long time, there are still those users who did not have time to figure everything out. In this particular case, we will talk about how to change the name in the contact.
In general, not to say that it is very difficult. But, as noted above, not all users can figure it out. So, you may need to change the name of VKontakte for completely different reasons. Most of them can be described as follows: "He was young and stupid." That is, there are those users who initially created what is called a “fake” page. I mean - not real. And now they want to turn it into a real one, with their real data. In fact, if this is the case, then VKontakte change the name really easy. The main thing is to remember what is what.
So, before you change the name in the contact, you need to go to your page. They did this more than once, because comments on this subject will be absolutely superfluous.
Now we need to find the link "Edit page" - it is located below the photo. After we clicked on this link, redirection to this editing takes place. There you already need to select the "General" insert.
Now we have the right window. In the column “First Name” we will have to change the name, and in the column “Last Name” we will have to change the last name. You can change one thing at will.
But that is not all. In order to know how to change the name in a contact, you need to remember that the site administration manually checks all such changes. In other words, in order for the name to change, the application of the user must be approved by someone from the site administration. I must say that now this process has become somewhat easier in comparison with what it was before. But once, when creating a request for a name change, the user had to lay a vote (a kind of currency "Vkontakte"). Now they’ve done even that.
Why should each application be moderated manually? Firstly, the Vkontakte website is clearly against spamming. Often, such a name change means that the user’s page has been hacked and are now going to use it to send such spam (in any case, this is very common on the same Odnoklassniki).
Similarly, “Vkontakte” against violence, rudeness, cruelty and so on. You can’t change the name to something like that - it won’t work. The next point is the confrontation of overt erotica. So such names are forbidden.
Another important point. When changing the
name, the user must indicate the reason. It would be nice to write your real reason, or, in extreme cases, something humorous. Knowing the positivity of the absolute majority of the site administration, they will definitely appreciate it. And accordingly, the chances of success are also increasing.
In general, there is also an alternative to how to change the name in the contact. In principle, you can create a new page. It is much simpler, faster and more efficient. Another thing is that managing two pages at once is not very convenient, because you need to constantly switch between your profiles.
