Subscriptions in Odnoklassniki serve to receive news from groups, communities and people that interest you. Regardless of preferences, you can find public pages and user pages that post thematic news, notes, and links. Thus, thanks to subscriptions, a list of feed publications is formed. Let's take a closer look at the details of managing subscriptions.

What are Odnoklassniki subscriptions per person?

By following a person, you will receive notifications about changes that have occurred in their profile. They usually subscribe to famous people: politicians, pop and movie stars, popular sports players, etc. Celebrities hardly add anyone as friends, but by subscribing, you can track the actions of your idol.

How to view subscribers on Odnoklassniki

To see a list of subscribers and people whose news you receive, follow these steps:

  • Open the main page of the site.
  • Select the Friends tab.
  • The block on the left provides two links that open a list of subscribers and people you follow (users who have received a friend request also appear here).

How to subscribe to Odnoklassniki

  • Open the website OK.
  • Use the search bar by entering your username.

  • Open the person's profile.
  • Click on the three dots under the main photo.
  • Select "Add to feed".

How to delete subscribers in Odnoklassniki

Users of the social network are often interested in how to remove a person who has subscribed to updates. OK developers have not provided a function that allows you to delete a person who has subscribed to your updates. The only way to hide profile changes is to add the user to the blacklist. The method is radical, but it allows you to hide information from those who are very unpleasant to the account owner.

How to unfollow someone

You can clear your list of subscriptions as follows:

  • Open the “Friends” section.
  • On the left side of the block, click the “My subscriptions” link.

  • Hover your cursor over the profile photo from which you no longer wish to receive news, and select “Unsubscribe.”
  • Confirm your action.

This method is the most convenient, since you can immediately see the full list of pages to which you have subscribed. The second way is to visit the user’s page: hover the cursor over the three dots under the photo and select “Exclude from feed.” If you visited the profile of a famous person who has prohibited adding as a friend, the “Unfollow” button will be visible immediately below the photo.

Subscriptions allow you to stay up to date with the events of an interesting person without having to be added as a friend. The site's tools provide the ability to easily edit the list of pages from which news comes, which will allow you to fill the feed only with interesting publications.

Who are subscribers on Odnoklassniki and where do they come from?

Social networks allow you to monitor the activities and activities of other users without adding to your friends list. However, this functionality is not available in all services. At first, OK did not have this option at all, then it was introduced, but on a paid basis. Now anyone can use it. Today we will figure out how to follow a person on Odnoklassniki without adding them as friends. We will look at all the main ways to use the social network. Namely, the official website, its mobile version and application for smartphones on iOS and Android.

Before moving on to the instructions for executing a subscription, let’s figure out what advantages this function provides:

  • you can monitor a person’s activity without adding them as a friend;
  • to subscribe to someone else's account, approval from its owner is not required;
  • if a person does not accept your application, then you can simply subscribe to his updates and monitor the activity of the page.

How to subscribe: instructions

Currently, this function is completely free for all OK users. Let's consider all the methods in more detail.

On the social network site

Let's start with the full version of the site, since this option for using the OK social network is the most common. There is nothing complicated about following a person’s account. See for yourself:

  1. Open the social network website and log in with your account.
  2. Go to the person's page. It can be found through search, recommendations, and so on.
  3. Next to the buttons for adding as a friend, sending a message or gift, click on the three dots. An additional list will open.
  4. Here you will see two important items - “Subscribe” and “Enable alerts”. Activate one of the functions (or both) as desired.

To unsubscribe from a person’s updates in your feed and remove alerts, go to this menu again and click on the same buttons.

What are the differences between these two functions? “Follow” adds all activity from the selected page to your news feed. Along with public pages and friends, all publications of this person will appear in the feed. And the “Enable Alerts” option does not add user activity to the feed, but sends alerts about new publications to the corresponding section.

If we are talking about the page of a famous person, the add friend button is completely absent. Fans can only follow their idol.

In the mobile application

Using a mobile application makes it much more convenient to use the social network on tablets and smartphones. To follow without adding as a friend from your phone, do the following:

  1. Go to the OK application and log in.
  2. Open the user’s page and under the avatar, click the “Set up subscription” button.
  3. Activate subscriptions or alerts for this user.

In the mobile version, the subscription procedure is somewhat different from the full-fledged website. You can familiarize yourself with the procedure according to the instructions provided:

  1. Open the website OK. If you do this through a mobile browser, the m.ok.ru version will open automatically. If not, then enter this address manually.
  2. Go to the people search section and find the page you need.
  3. Go to the person's profile and open the "More" menu.
  4. Here, select “Subscription Settings”.
  5. You will see two options - subscribe to the feed and alerts. Enable the features you want. We have already described their differences in the first instructions above!

Just as you can follow other users, they can add your activity to their feed. If you don't want anyone not on your friends list to receive notifications about posts, you need to make changes to your publicity settings.

Conclusion

So, now you can follow people without adding them as friends. Remember that users you follow also see you in their list of followers. If they wish, they can simply block people they don’t like.

In any social network, including ok.ru, there is such a thing as a subscriber. It is this topic that will be discussed in our article today. Now we will talk in detail about what subscribers are in Odnoklassniki. In addition, a number of other related issues will be touched upon, for example, we will tell you how to remove a subscriber, how to unsubscribe from someone yourself, and so on. Let's get down to business right away, without delay.

What are subscribers in OK

So, what is a subscriber on Odnoklassniki? This is a person who clicked the “Friend” button, but was not approved by you. As a result, he becomes a subscriber, sees all the news from your wall, but at the same time is not a friend.


By the way: popular people, such as screen stars, singers, producers, and so on, have a special button on their page called “Subscribe.” This is because such people rarely add anyone as friends, and you need a lot of readers.

Where to see your subscribers

Now let us tell you how you can see your subscribers. This is done as follows.

On the computer

In a browser for a personal PC, the process looks like this:

  1. Go to our Odnoklassniki page and, using the top menu, click on the “Friends” item.


  1. When a new page opens, on the left side of it, switch to the “Subscribers” category (marked in the screenshot below).


  1. As a result, you will see a list of your subscribers, and right from here you can, if necessary, delete them. If we hover over a photo of a person, we get access to a list of additional options:
    1. you can write a message;
    2. call;
    3. invite to a group or give a gift;
    4. view photos;
    5. block.

Someone will ask - but how to delete a subscriber? The answer is that you cannot delete a subscriber on Odnoklassniki without blacklisting him.

On the phone

In order to view your subscribers on your phone, click the main menu button, which is located in the upper left part of the screen. From the list that appears, select the friends section. Here you will see all incoming applications that have not yet been approved. People who invited you to be friends, but were not approved, are subscribers.

How to become subscribers

Now let's figure out how an ordinary OK user can become someone's subscriber.

From computer

How does a user become a subscriber on Odnoklassniki? This happens as follows:

  1. We find a user on the network.
  2. Let's go to his page.
  3. Click the “Add as friends” button.

After this, we immediately become a subscriber, naturally, if the person does not confirm the friendship.


On the phone

On a mobile device, in the same way, users find a person on Odnoklassniki and click the button to add him as a friend. If the owner of the profile we are interested in does not respond affirmatively, we will remain subscribers.

There is another option for the development of events: we will simply be blacklisted, and we will become nobody.

What does the subscriber see?

Now let’s look separately for a computer and a phone at what a person who has subscribed to your profile can track.

On a personal computer

If we talk about what a person who follows you sees, everything is clear: he sees all the updates on your feed, naturally, if the profile is not closed. If your account is closed, the person does not see anything, just as he did not see anything before becoming a subscriber.


Via smartphone

The situation with the mobile application or mobile version of the Odnoklassniki website is similar to the situation on the PC. A subscriber, until you blacklist him, can see all the news from your page.

How to unsubscribe

Another point that people are very interested in is unsubscribing. Let's take a look at how it works on smartphones, PCs or laptops.

We work with PC

If you are someone's subscriber and want to unsubscribe, follow these steps:

  1. Initially, again, go to your OK page and, using the top menu, open the list of friends.


  1. Next, on the left side of the screen, click on the “My subscriptions” link.


  1. A list of people you follow will appear at the top of the screen. To unsubscribe, simply hover your mouse over the person’s photo and select the item marked in the screenshot below from the context menu.


  1. As a result, the site will ask you to confirm your intention and once you do this, your subscription will be cancelled.

On Android or iPhone

On a mobile phone, we can use a special application downloaded from Google Play Market for Android or software for an Apple phone that runs on iOS. In the second case, instead of the Play Market, we will have to use the AppStore. So, to unfollow a person on the phone, we do this:

  1. We go to the page of the user we are interested in and, if we have requested friendship with him, we see an active button to add as a friend.

  1. All we have to do is click the same button and confirm the unsubscribe.

We took the screenshots from the Android operating system, but on iOS everything looks about the same.

How do I know who I'm following?

Now let's find out who we might have subscribed to. We will do this, as in all other cases, separately for a PC or phone.

On a personal computer

If you don’t know how to understand who you follow on Odnoklassniki, just repeat after us:

  1. Go to your page and click on the “Friends” button at the top of the screen.


  1. In the left side menu, select “My Subscriptions”.


As a result, the next screen will display a list of all the people you have followed, but they have not approved the friendship.

If desired, each user can be deleted directly from here. To do this, simply hover your mouse over the photo and select the desired item from the context menu.

Via phone

In order to determine who we are subscribed to in Odnoklassniki on the phone, open the main menu again and select the “Friends” item there. On the next screen, tap on the section with our subscriptions.

How to prevent following

Unfortunately, there is no such function in Odnoklassniki yet. All you can do is close your profile and thus prevent any followers from seeing your feed updates. If this suits you, then see how to close your profile correctly:

  1. In the upper right corner of your OK page, click on the small arrow next to the avatar and select the settings item in the menu that opens.


  1. In the left side menu, more precisely at the very bottom, select the close profile option.


  1. We confirm our intention by clicking on the button that will appear immediately.


  1. Since this service is paid, you will be asked to pay for it. Naturally, in order to do this, you initially need to top up your account.

All the same, of course, for a mobile phone. And it makes no difference whether we use a proprietary application or a mobile version of the site.

Considering the cost of a private profile (about 20 rubles), you can safely spend this amount and forever forget about the obsessive subscribers who constantly spy on you on Odnoklassniki. Moreover, you pay once for this service and it extends forever.

How to delete.

Now let's look at one of the most important points. Accordingly, for a PC or smartphone.

On the computer

The last thing we'll cover in today's step-by-step guide is the process of deleting your followers. It works like this:

  1. Click on the “Friends” button, which is located at the very top of our home page.


  1. In the left side menu, select the item with our subscribers.


  1. We move the mouse pointer over the photo of the person we want to delete and select “Block” from the context menu.


After this, this user will no longer be able to remain your subscriber.

As we have already said: it is not yet possible to delete subscribers on Odnoklassniki without blacklisting them.

On the phone

To delete your subscribers in the Odnoklassniki application on your smartphone, you need to take a few simple steps:

  1. Click the main menu button, which is located in the upper left corner of the window.
  2. From the list that opens, select the “Friends” section.
  3. In the top horizontal menu, click on the “Friend Requests” tab.
  4. We go to the page of the user whom we do not want to see in our subscribers.
  5. On the right side of the window, click the button labeled “Other actions.”

  1. Select “More” from the pop-up menu. Next, tap on the item that we noted in the screenshot below.

After this, the user will be instantly blacklisted and, naturally, will no longer be able to be your subscriber.

A subscription differs from a subscriber in that in the first case you subscribe, and in the second, you subscribe.

Video instruction

We also have a training video on this topic.

Let's sum it up

Well, friends, now you understand well what subscribers on Odnoklassniki mean and where they come from. Knowing this, we can safely finish our detailed step-by-step instructions.

However, if you still have any questions, you can always contact us for help. For this purpose, there is a comment form at the very bottom of the site.

The world around us is in constant motion, and we change too. What was interesting and exciting yesterday can cause a sad smile today. And if in everyday life parting with the past is not so easy, then on your favorite social networks you can do this in a few clicks of the computer mouse.

Let's say you were subscribed to updates from the account of another Odnoklassniki user and lost interest in him. Or they sent a friend request to an acquaintance, but never received a positive response, but remained a subscriber. Is it possible to unfollow a person if necessary? Of course, yes, both on the OK website and in mobile applications for devices on the Android and iOS platforms.

Method 1: “My Subscriptions” Section

First, let's try to cancel the display of notifications about another person's news on the page with your subscriptions and thereby clear the Feed of information that is no longer necessary for you. In the full version of the social network site, we have complete tools for successfully solving the task.

  1. In any Internet browser, go to the resource’s website, log in by entering your username and access password in the appropriate fields, and get to your personal page. On the top user panel, click the button "Friends" to go to the desired section.
  2. Among the filters for classifying friends, find and LMB click on the icon "More", in the additional menu that appears, open the block "Subscriptions". At the same time, we see the number of users for whose updates we are subscribed.
  3. We move the mouse pointer over the photo of the person from whom we are unsubscribing, and in the menu that appears, select the item "Unsubscribe".
  4. Now, in a small window, we confirm our actions and forever forget about the object of our past curiosity. Subscription has been deleted. News from this user will no longer appear in our Feed.
  5. Method 2: User profile

    There is an alternative and faster option. You can unsubscribe from a user by logging into his page through a search and performing just a couple of simple manipulations. But this method will not work if you are on the user’s “black list,” since then you will not be able to get into the required profile.


    Method 3: Mobile application

    Applications for mobile devices based on Android and iOS also have the opportunity to unsubscribe from the news of another member of the social network. And here it will not cause any difficulties even for a novice user.
