We will teach you how to become invisible in VK. Get ready to become a real professional in the field of how to hide VKontakte online from all users. We will consider both the capabilities of the service itself and third-party resources.

I’m sitting on VK right now... And you don’t see me... I’m sure of it...

Why is it invisible in VK?

The invisible mode in VK is incredibly popular both among young people and among fairly mature and self-sufficient users of the social network. And this is due to various reasons. Some people spend most of their time online, chatting with friends. Some people listen to music for a long time, while others take part in flash games. Others read the news and watch videos.

Many users have already forgotten how to use other Internet resources, as they find everything they need on VK.

And it is quite natural that we do not want others to have even the slightest opportunity to monitor what we are doing. For example, we want to view other people's accounts without those people knowing about it.

I feel freer when I remain invisible on VK. And you?

Some perceive the Online icon as a treacherous signal that must be turned off.

Do you want to use VKontakte without anyone noticing? You may have your own good reasons for this. We won't find out why you need this. We'll explain exactly what to do and how to do it.

Interesting fact. Even VK developer Pavel Durov does not like the function of showing the time of the last visit and the Online inscription. After he left his post at the company, he asked for the inscription to be removed. But for some reason the team never took this advice into account.

Standard method

The social network itself contains a bug that allows you to be offline while continuing to use the service.

The main advice is - never go to “My Page”! If you go to messages and stay there for 15 minutes, the offline status will appear automatically. By continuing to use the social network, but without going to the main page, you will remain invisible for as long as you like.

Finally a serious screen without cats

In this mode you can view news and listen to music.

In order not to disrupt the mode, do not respond to messages under any circumstances, do not go to the pages of other users and do not leave comments on any posts, because this will immediately turn on your online status.

This feature is due to the fact that your device's cache stores previously downloaded information about news and music. Therefore, the service makes it possible to view this content without accessing the system servers via the Internet.

How to log into VK using APIdog

You can log into apigod ru both from a computer and from a phone, but you need to understand this issue in more detail.

Login from PC

How can you log into APIdog from your computer:

1. Follow the link at the bottom of the page to the website https://apidog.ru.
2. You will be taken to the start page of the site, where you will be asked to enter your username and password.
3. In the specified fields you must enter data from your main VK page.
4. This completes the login process.

Interesting! On the login page there is also a choice of the device from which to log in. This item is optional, since often the system will automatically determine where you are sitting. You can skip it.

Login from a smartphone

We follow the sequence of the previous point, only in this case indicate your device, be it an IPhone, iPad or Android.

If you use any APIDog extension: Kate Mobile, BlackBarry, then you must also indicate them when logging in.

Once you try the Apidog mobile application, you will immediately notice that it is practically no different from the PC version.

Installing extensions

There have always been some problems with extensions. Some developers specifically release and distribute their products to steal user data. For a long time, any extension can work flawlessly and not cause any problems.

But sometimes it happens that having gained a certain number of loyal users, the developer begins to collect their authorization data for himself and sell it to scammers or use it himself for illegal earnings.

And here, instead of a cat, there is another animal. Bet you won't see him?

Therefore, we will give you a small list of extensions that have proven themselves so far, so that you know how to enable invisibility in VK via a computer. But we warn you that you do this at your own peril and risk, since we do not have the opportunity to check and make sure how decently their developers work.

1. VKfox is an extension that allows you to continue to follow VKontakte news while remaining offline. The peculiarity of the solution is that you go online as soon as you comment on something or reply to a message.
2. There are currently no other extensions available. We will monitor the situation and update this list (you can write to us in the comments to this article if you know of other solutions).

3. Next, let's configure the application itself. Open the Settings menu, which looks like this:

In addition to the settings necessary in our case, here you can change the appearance of the application (change the theme from light to dark), set up news, and so on.

1. To activate the stealth mode, you need to go to the “Online” item and select “Be offline if possible.”
2. Ready! The application is configured, which means you can write messages, like, watch news, listen to music offline.

Note! When using this method, all normal VKontakte functions are available offline. But if you write something on your wall, your account will appear online.

In addition, this application has another important useful function: using Kate Mobile, you can download downloaded music to your phone (it will be saved in the audio_cache folder) and listen to your favorite songs regardless of the Internet. It is this opportunity that largely attracts VKontakte users. In the same way, you can download and view video files, which are also saved in the phone’s memory.

Below are detailed instructions on how to download music from the VKontakte application to your phone memory using the Kate Mobile application:

1. After installing the desired version of Kate Mobile and registering your profile, you need to go to the Profile tab and select Audio there:
2. Next, you need to select the desired audio recording from the saved ones or use the search for audio recordings presented in the VKontakte library.
3. After selecting a melody, a context menu will appear in which you need to select the “Save to cache” item.
4. After correctly completing all of the above steps, the selected audio recordings will appear in the list of tracks, listening to which will not depend on the Internet and the VKontakte application, and therefore will not be subject to time restrictions on listening to music.

Another important feature of this app is the Type & Go feature, which makes the screen transparent when activated. How does it work and why is it needed?

1. You can enable it in the Settings menu:
2. At first glance, a regular dialog window is open, but after double-clicking on the screen, the rear camera of the phone is activated and the image from it is broadcast in the background of the dialog.

Methods for logging into VKontakte in invisible mode

In order to avoid being noticed on social networks online, you can use add-ons for Chrome, Firefox or Opera, as well as programs that mask your online presence. They are easy to set up and use, so they are suitable for everyone. The only thing you will have to deal with is a slight increase in the load on the PC from the browser.

Plugins VKFox and VKFoxX

One of the first solutions in the situation of offline login to VK is a browser add-on. It installs directly into Chrome (VKFox) or Mozilla Firefox (VKFoxX), adding a full-fledged quick access toolbar to your page. Using VKFox, you can view messages, friends and news feeds and, most importantly, enable permanent invisible mode. But any action other than viewing - likes, messages and comments via VKFox will take the page out of offline mode.

VK Inviz application

The browser plugin is designed to log into the VKontakte social network. Unlike VKFox, the addon requires a separate login to VK, but in return it provides a full-fledged “invisibility” mode that does not depend on the user’s actions. Currently, the application does not have the ability to listen to audio recordings - the VK administration has blocked access to third-party players.

VKLife application

In addition to browser addons, third-party applications, the so-called “clients,” allow you to log into VK without displaying your online status. There is no official version of the VK application for computers, but there are ones created by users. One of the first in this regard was VKLife.

Today, the third version of the application has been released, which runs as an extension for Chrome and Yandex Browser. It offers everything that is available online on the VKontakte page, except for the VK Mail.ru service and the audio recordings tab, which is blocked by the owners. Advanced settings are also allowed, including the ability to enter the page in “invisible” mode.

APIdog client

A set of add-on, application and alternative page for entering the VKontakte network. This is a client application for Android, which over time has grown into a relatively large-scale project. APIdog can be launched from a smartphone, from a browser, or directly from the official website through an improved version of VKontakte - the hidden login mode works in any of the options.

As is the case with other unofficial clients for accessing the VK service, music is not available in this application.

Attention!

The client may have security problems - the APIdog code is completely open and anyone can modify it. Otherwise, it is not much different from VKLife.
