The list on the left side of the VK page includes the following functions.
Homepage: Similar to the message board on the Facebook user profile page, but unlike the message board, the content of the bulletin board will be synchronized to the homepage of each friend, so you can post the latest status on your homepage. Of course, you can also set it not to be synchronized to all friends. In addition, your friends can post status and leave messages for you on your homepage, such as birthday wishes.
News: VK News is similar to WeChat Moments. After clicking, you can see the dynamics posted by the people or communities you follow and your friends. You can comment, like and forward.
Private Message: It has a chat function. You can send private messages to friends or non-friends. Only the two of you can see it. You can also form a multi-person group chat. The messages sent can be photos, videos, music, files, maps and data.
Friends: You can see online and offline friends, group and label existing friends, send private messages, search for friends, add friends, or import friends from other social networking sites. Click “Advanced Search” to filter and request to add friends by age, gender, region, school, etc., but the number of friends added per day is limited.
Communities: VK has two kinds of communities, namely groups and public pages. Groups are suitable for publishing interests, hobbies, etc., and are flexible to operate; public pages are more suitable for publishing brand and corporate information, etc. These two kinds of communities can be exchanged with each other to a certain extent.
Likes: Netizens use it to express their attitudes towards dynamic information, photos, etc., which is the same as WeChat likes. Regardless of whether the user is your friend, they can see the photos or dynamic information you posted, and comment on and like them. You can also set whether to display your dynamic information to non-friend users.
Photos: Just like QQ Space Albums, you can upload your own photos and set permissions for who can see the photos you posted. Users who can see the photos you posted can like or comment on the photos.
Music: You can upload your favorite music to VKontakte’s “Music”, and all VKontakte users who visit your homepage can see it and click to listen.
Video: You can upload videos to the “Video” of VKontakte, or share YouTube videos on VKontakte, and all VKontakte users can see the video information at the same time.
Advertisement: You can create promotional advertisements for your products or communities. You need to design slogans, upload pictures, set delivery targets, and then pay for delivery.
Like other social networking sites, VK will update its version frequently, but its basic functions will not change much.
