Where is the "VKontakte" feature "Possible friends"

Now we have to talk about whatthere was one additional function of the social network "VKontakte": "Possible friends." This service will serve as an assistant to search for possible comrades, here everything is thought out all the best. In this section you will see a huge number of users with whom you are familiar.

"VKontakte": friends - location

There have been some changes. The usual "VKontakte" feature "Possible friends" disappeared as unnecessary - now friends can be found through the "People search" button. 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. For brevity, as a rule, lies talent. We will consider the innovation later. Also in addition to this new feature in the "Friends" section, a kind of a book with phone numbers is now created, where you can see the contacts of people who are interested in you.

The principle of sorting "Potential friends"

Administrators and developers of this popularamong youth of a social network the salary, naturally, receive knowingly. They constantly want to improve the "VC" and make it as convenient as possible for communication and information exchange, so new opportunities and functions are constantly emerging. And now, as we managed to say, the function "Possible friends" appeared.

But by what principle does this bluebutton? Among users, there are many versions with answers to this question, but the true one is probably known only to developers. Most likely, this list includes only those people who already have contacts with your friends.

That is, for example, if you studied with themin one educational institution, and also finished it in the same year, then, of course, they will be shown by your possible friends if you click on the specified link. If a certain person is listed as a friend not only from one of your friends, but from several, the likelihood that he will also be on this list is quite large.

The developers took care that possiblefriends were presented in the fullest possible list thanks to the button "show the rest". However, many users, by clicking on this button, received the same people who have already seen in the list before, just in a different order.

Of course, someone was luckier, and he is in thislist found many friends and acquaintances. Some users reported 95% efficiency of the function. And someone did not find any matches at all. That is, the list included completely unfamiliar people. But this can happen because there are several people on your friends list that you do not know. Therefore, in their list there can not be at all those who would have known you.

"VKontakte": "Possible friends" are gone

Recently, the Internet literallyblasted with reports that "Possible Friends" "VKontakte" disappeared. Everyone is interested, where exactly this function disappeared? In the same order they only light up to users who have just registered, but that's bad luck: as soon as their friends list is replenished at least to a hundred, "Possible friends" disappear.

If you do not know how to look at possiblefriends "VKontakte", 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. The search will show only those people with whom you have many friends in common, since the VKontakte administration has decided that it will be much more convenient and effective to work with the site.

This function is certainly useful, that's just itneeds a little refinement. There are users who have hidden their friends in privacy settings. Is that how to be with them? They think that their hidden friends are now only seen by them, but that's not true, in fact, in the "Possible Friends" an absolutely outsider can see that he is on your list. After all, the "VKontakte" feature "Possible friends" in any case takes into account the users hidden from prying eyes, and developers need to think about it.

Criticism from users of the social network in which the update was made

Many people perceive this updatesocial network with bayonets because they are too wrong, in their opinion, the developers understand the word "friends", because we usually communicate with our friends live, not "VKontakte", right? Perhaps they should call this function "Possible acquaintances," and skewed views, and negative feedback would then be less. In the meantime, we figured out where possible friends of VKontakte are now.
