Oh, these VKontakte users! Everyone wants to be online, but no one wants others to notice) Well, if you are one of those who want to play spy, this article is especially for you.
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.
Pros and cons of stealth mode
Like any other mode, invisibility has its advantages and disadvantages, which are worth reading in more detail below:
Advantages and disadvantages
Allows you to stay online without worrying about someone seeing your user activity, because the “offline” status is displayed.
The user can limit communication with people and no one will say that he is ignoring him.
You can download utilities that will successfully replace VK.
If we consider the official utility, then the function itself is paid. You need to download additional programs to take full advantage of it.
Some utilities have restrictions on items such as sending messages and commenting on posts.
If you cannot use this function in the official application, you will need to download additional ones.
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.
Features of activating stealth mode
The peculiarity of activating the mode is that the official application does not have such a function at all. Only workarounds such as clicks, mobile browsers and specialized utilities can easily activate the mode.
Also, not all utilities have a complete list of features. For example, when the mode is activated, the user cannot write to other people or comment on posts. This imposes certain restrictions that you have to put up with.
If this does not bother him, then he can activate this mode, use it and remain unnoticed on VKontakte.

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.
- 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.
- 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).

What is VK Me
VK Me is a messenger from VKontakte launched at the end of 2022. It was presented as part of open testing exclusively for residents of Kazakhstan, a country in which 7.3 million people used the social network monthly (according to official data). Until now, VK Me has not lost its testing status, but its Android version can be downloaded outside of Google Play from any country.
In VK Me you need to either log in using your VKontakte account or register using your phone number - in both cases the messenger can be used without having a social network client. The application has all the “Messages” capabilities of the regular VKontakte application, thanks to which it can easily replace the cumbersome VK client for those who only need messages from the social network.
Enable request redirection in the browser
This method works on earlier releases of the Opera browser. In new versions, this path to the desired option has been adjusted or completely removed.
Opera has a request redirection option. To activate it, you need to follow this path:
Settings/Advanced/Network
Here you need to uncheck the auto-redirection box. Next, save the settings and go to vkontakte.ru/login.php. An error will appear during the authorization process; you should not pay special attention to this. You can use the entire interface of the VK social network, but do not log into your account on the site.
Previously, there was an option to log in to Mozilla Firefox from a computer, but now an error just appears there.

Is contact possible without the Internet?
Only viewing of saved data will be available.
The naivety of users and the desire to always stay in touch on their favorite social network are exploited by scammers or simply cunning people. They offer to download the application to your smartphone or install the program on your PC. The goals can be different:
There are applications that can save a music playlist and entire pages to the device’s cache. Some data is saved automatically in the computer's memory. In this case, you can really listen to music, open pages, view photos without the Internet. But this applies to a limited amount of data that needs to be saved in advance when Internet access is available. No update will occur without a network, and you will not be able to:
VKontakte without Internet is an alternative client of the popular Russian social network for Android devices.
Before we talk about the functionality of this solution, it is worth noting one very important fact. Developers mislead users with the name of the program. It is absolutely impossible to fully use VKontakte without connecting to Wi-Fi or a mobile network. The maximum that such programs can offer is listening to music in the cache, as well as viewing non-updated dialogues. Why the application has such a strange name remains a mystery.
Eternal online
Before this, a question was asked - how to remove the time spent visiting your VK page. After reading the previous sections, we can state that this cannot be done. Because even the highly praised “Invisible” mode only allows you to delete the “Online” status. Instead, he writes down the time and date of the last visit.
After all this, we can draw such a disappointing conclusion that you can only normally hide the date of your last visit if you are constantly online and don’t go anywhere. Then the date and time of the visit will not be displayed.
How to make “Eternal Online” in VK? It can be installed through third-party applications and extensions. What do they use to do this? It's quite simple. They send a series of impulses from your profile to the VKontakte servers every five minutes. The social network sees such impulses and concludes that you are online and the Online icon continues to glow green.
You must understand that such fraud with your profile will sooner or later be recognized by the platform. And accordingly, this can lead to its blocking with the wording “Suspicious activity”. Therefore, the use of such software and plugins is not recommended. Decide for yourself whether to use them or not.
There are quite a few such programs on the Internet. A short list of applications and plugins that have this functionality:
- Amberfog;
- Polyglot VK;
- Phoenix for VKontakte;
- VKFox;
- VKHelper.
