Invisibility on VKontakte allows you to remain offline on the site, using almost all of its features. You can enable stealth mode in the official VK application and clients from third-party developers, but you cannot be sure that it will work.
Invisibility in the official client
On iPhone, the operation is performed in a similar way, since the Android application works the same as the client on iOS. The answer to the question of how to sit offline has been found - the VKontakte invisible mode hides your real status, showing when you were last online.
Invisibility in third-party applications
Previously, it was possible to be on VK offline in programs from third-party developers - Kate Mobile for Android and v Feed for iOS. The problem is that in April 2017, VK developers turned off invisibility. So now you can download a VK application like v Feed for free, but it will be of little use - you won’t be able to use your phone offline on VKontakte.
Previously, the user downloaded Feed or Kate Mobile, set the “Be offline if possible” mode and did not worry that other users would notice that he was online. Now in the Kate Mobile settings you can also set the status to “Offline”, but it will not work. Incognito mode on VKontakte on Android via Kate Mobile is activated as follows:
- Open client settings.
- Click on the "Online" section.
- Click on “Online” again.
- Select the status “Be offline if possible.”
Now the invisible feature for the VKontakte social network for Android in Kate Mobile does not work. No advice helps, such as “don’t open your profile, but only go to the news - the Feed section.” The VKontakte developers have removed the very ability to hide the real status, so you won’t be able to download the invisible one. The developers of v Feed and Kate Mobile have already confirmed the disabling of the option, so the questions of how to be offline and how to sit on VK and remain invisible received a clear answer - no way.
This is not the case when a separate VK option does not work. VK invisibility on Android applications is disabled intentionally so that users come out of the shadows. So you no longer have to wonder how to make yourself invisible, whether you should only sit in the “Feed” section with news - in any case, friends will see that you are on the site. All that remains is to explain to them that the “Online” status does not mean that you are ready to communicate and respond to messages immediately.
VKontakte (www.vkontakte.ru, vk.com) is one of the three most popular social networks in Russia and the CIS countries. The vast majority of schoolchildren and students have one or even several VK accounts. They exchange videos and music, share impressions, organize meetings and even look for work. And sometimes relationships are born in the vastness of the Internet - camaraderie, friendship, and in some cases, love. Every time you go to your page, or to the pages of your comrades, the words “Online” will appear in their list of friends next to your avatar. But there are also cases when you need to go to your VKontakte page invisible to its other participants. The reasons may vary. In this post I will tell you how to be invisible on VKontakte so that you can be offline for others.
The easiest way to remain invisible on VK is to use third-party services.
There are special services on the Internet that allow you to use VKontakte secretly. Personally, I like APIdog.ru the most:
When entering the service, you need to select the “Full authorization” section, enter your online account login and password:
You will see a list of actions:
Select the ones you need and click the “Allow” button. That's it, you are on your page and can surf the network secretly. The service has a number of advanced settings:
Keep in mind that as soon as you write a message on the wall, you will immediately become visible.
The second way is to make yourself invisible using a program.
There are special programs on the Internet to enable VKontakte invisibility. Of these, I like the VkLife utility most, which, in addition to hidden visits, has a number of interesting functions, including the ability to download videos and music.
The program can also work with Mail.ru and YouTube.
Method three. We make ourselves invisible on VKontakte by dancing with a tambourine.
This option cannot be called anything other than shamanic actions. The point here is that in this case we will use bugs of the VKontakte network itself, which allow us to be invisible if certain conditions are met, that is, offline for everyone.
Option 1 - it works every once in a while and somehow.
We log into the social network as usual - online and go to “My Messages”. We sit there doing nothing for about 15 minutes. Somewhere at this time the VKontakte connection timeout should expire. Now you can navigate to pages other than your own. It’s also not worth writing messages and posts on the wall.
Option 2 only works in the Firefox browser:
— Enter in the address bar: about:config
Your browser settings will open.
— In the “Filter” field you must enter:
This way you will find this parameter. Now you need to change its value to 0 to disable redirection processing. Remember the old meaning!
— Now we launch another, new tab, go to VKontakte and log in.
If it gives an error, don’t pay attention.
— Open to any other page. For example, "My friends".
— Return to the tab with parameters and return the old value of the parameter network.http.redirection-limit.
Option 3 is relevant. The same can be done on the Opera browser. To do this, open the menu item “Tools” -> “Settings” -> “Advanced” -> “Network”.
Here you need to uncheck the “Enable automatic redirection” checkbox. Then log in to the social network and open any page. Now you need to go back to the settings and check the “Enable automatic redirection” checkbox.
Today we will tell you about the hidden functions of VK and tell you all the really working ways to be invisible on VKontakte. We are all familiar with the situation when we just want to sit and listen to music on VKontakte, and don’t want to communicate with anyone, but as soon as we open a social network on our page and our friends’ status is displayed: online. In this article we will reveal several tricks on how you can use VK and be always offline.
What is invisible VK
First, let's figure out what VK invisible is and why users of the social network use it, and only after that we’ll find out how to be invisible on VKontakte.
Invisibility in VK is the hidden functions of VK through which you can fully or partially use the functionality of VKontakte and at the same time for all other users you will be in offline status.
Several years ago there was a boom in hiding online status, now people are gradually stopping using these features, some for reasons of not knowing how to do it, others simply because they are lazy. Let's look at the main reasons why people want to be invisible to others:
- The desire to hide your online status from a certain person (usually from a girl, an annoying boyfriend, etc.).
- Bad mood and reluctance to communicate with anyone.
- Show your friends that you can be invisible on VK.
- Depression, the desire to be one invisible to another world.
There can be many more reasons for becoming invisible on VK, and everyone has their own reasons, but these are the most basic.
How to be invisible on VK
Do you want to become invisible on VKontakte? No problem! We spent a long time searching and checking everything we found on the Internet for the query “How to be invisible on VK.” As it turned out, more than half of the methods no longer work, but there are some that work. To make it more clear to you, we will divide the continuation of the article into two parts: you will learn how to be invisible on VKontakte from a computer and from a mobile phone.
How to log into VK invisible from a computer
There are many ways to activate stealth or invisibility mode for other social network users. We will tell and show each of them, and you choose the one that suits you best
Method 1 - Not very effective.
The simplest, but not very effective method: Go to any section of VK (music, photos, videos, messages, etc.) wait 20 minutes. Next, our status changes to offline until we go to our page. This method is long and works every time, so we recommend using any of the other options below.
Method 2 is better than the first, but we still don’t like it.
Let's go to the music section for example. Add the page to your bookmarks. Ctrl+D close VK and go from the bookmark. The advantage of this method is that we don’t need to wait 20 minutes; you immediately become invisible to others. The disadvantage of this method, just like in the first method, if you go to the main page, your status will be online.
Method 3 is, in our opinion, the most effective
So we’ve come to the most effective way to sit incognito on VKontakte. This method is the simplest and most reliable in terms of anonymity. You must use an extension for your browser. For the most popular browsers: Chrome, Fox, Opera, there is a Vkfox extension. This extension hides your online status without problems, is easily activated and has a huge variety of settings.
Method 4 - VKlife program and its analogues.
This is the last method on our list for the desktop version. Since we promised to tell you all the ways, we couldn’t ignore programs for your computer. We tested the invisibility function on the VkLife program, the program completely copes with the invisibility mode until you publish something on your wall. But we strongly recommend that you use browser extensions. Because there are many copies and fakes of this program or simply viruses on the Internet. Protect yourself and your account and try not to use third-party software.

How to log into VK invisible from your phone
After analyzing all the information that is on the Internet and on forms, we found 3 working ways to activate the VK stealth mode from your phone. 2 of them are suitable for the Android operating network and only 1 for an iPhone. Well, let's take a closer look.
Be invisible on VK from Android
For the mobile version of VKontakte, everything is very simple. There are 2 ways to be offline for everyone.
First and the easiest one is to use the Kate mobile application, its interface is very similar to the VK version from the official developers, however, it has a number of functional features that allow you to be offline all the time or vice versa all the time online and many other features. 
You can download the latest version of Kate mobile on the official website of the developer: katemobile.ru
Method two for the official VK application on Android, which you can download from the play market.
What is convenient about this method is that you do not need to download additional programs.
We need to activate developer mode on our phone:
- You need to go to the settings section.
- Scroll to the very bottom to the line “Build number or version”.
- Press 7-10 times.
- The system displays a notification that we have opened developer mode on our device.
Now you can activate hidden features in the standard VK application on Android.
- Let's go to our mobile version of VK.
- Go to the settings section.
- About the program.
- Press the dog 5-10 times.
- We go to the dialer (where we usually call the interlocutor from the address book).
- Enter *#*#856682583#*#*
- We are opening a mode for the developer of the VK application.
- We are looking for an invisible line.
- Plus, you can turn off annoying ads.
Important note, this method does not work on Samsung mobile phones, due to the functionality of the standard touchwiz shell
How can we not be visible on VK from an iPhone?
Well, we’ve come to the owners of apple products. To hide your presence on the VKontakte social network, we recommend using 3 applications that you can download in the app store:
- Swist
- Agent for VK
- VFeed
In our opinion, it is best to use VFeed; it has an intuitive design and a lot of features and functionality.

For many of us, to be honest, not a single day goes by without our favorite social network VKontakte. Even the possible is not a hindrance for us. And sooner or later there comes a time when you want to hide the fact of your presence on the Internet, so to speak, pretend to be incognito.
For example, a person is at work, working hard without distractions, but he only needs to log into VK for a few minutes. He comes in and people start writing to him because they see that he is online. As a result, instead of just a few minutes, you have to spend much longer on the site. There is a wonderful way out of this situation. We will talk about how to sit on VK and be invisible, while remaining online. What effective tools exist for this, and how to use them correctly? All the tricks are below.
How to enable VK invisibility: one of the easiest ways
You will have to visit the site in order to set the necessary parameters. So, let's do the following:
As in the previous option, using this method, you cannot visit the “My Page” section, both personal and other contacts!
How to use VK offline: settings in Firefox
This method is great for those who use Mozilla Firefox. Our actions are as follows:
Important! You should not visit your personal or someone else’s “My Page”. All of the above steps should be performed carefully and carefully to avoid system failures.
How to make VK not online: ApiDog, VK-AVision and VKlife
There are a number of special programs that allow you to use invisible mode on social networks. Downloading them is quite simple. The whole process takes five to seven minutes.
Important! When downloading ApiDog, VK-AVision and VKlife, you should use only official resources (vklife.ru, apidog.ru), since otherwise other services may contain programs that contain dangerous viruses that can harm your computer.
Of all the listed options for switching to “false offline,” the most convenient method is still the first one. For those who do not know how to be offline in VK for other users while remaining online, it is better to use it. You don't need to perform strange or unusual actions that could cause your system to crash. There is also no need to look for special programs. The first method is universal, as it can be used in any browser.
By the way, if making yourself invisible does not save you from unwanted communication, as a last resort, you can always contact the user with whom you do not want to communicate.
Everyone knows that in VK you can find out the time when the user last visited the site - it is displayed on his page. In addition, the status is reflected whether the user is currently on the site or not. Accordingly, it is impossible to log into a social network and remain unnoticed. But is this really so?
Currently, there are several ways that allow you to stay offline while on the VK website. We will talk about some of them today.
By the way, why do you need to hide your presence on the site? There are many reasons. For example, you don’t want to communicate with this or that user who is on the site, so you visit the social network in such a way that it doesn’t even occur to him that you are currently on the site.
Now let's move on to the review of services.
How to be offline on a computer
First, let's talk about the desktop. So, if you want to be offline in VK in the regular desktop version, you can try using special browser extensions. One of them is called VKfox - it can be found, for example, in the Chrome online store (for the browser of the same name) or on the official website (VKfox.io).
Let's say you decide to install a plugin from a website. We go to it and click on the “Install” button.
In Google Chrome, you will be redirected to the extension store. Click on the “Install” button.
Then confirm the plugin installation if you agree with the permissions.
The plugin icon will appear in the upper right part of the window. Click on it and you will be able to travel through VK while remaining completely invisible. The only thing you shouldn’t do is text and leave comments, because this way you will be online (but not always and not in all cases).
If you open VK through a browser, you will immediately be online and declassify yourself.
Be invisible on your phone
It is possible to be invisible, including using a mobile application. Only in this case you will need a third-party application, such as Kate Mobile, which is one of the most popular third-party applications for VKontakte.
Download the application, install and launch. In the upper right part of the screen, click on the button in the form of three dots to display a menu. Select “Settings” from the menu.
In the settings section you need to select “Online”.
Here, select “Be offline if possible.”
In this case, the application will inform you that you can remain offline only if you do not write anything on the wall.
Use the social network using the application and remain invisible (if possible).
Universal method
And this method has long been known and works for both the desktop version of VK and the mobile one.
As you know, the “Online” status is displayed within 15 minutes after the user, for example, closes a tab in the browser. If you keep the tab open, but do not go to other sections of the site, including news or communities, then the user will seem to go offline, but in reality will be on the site. For example, if a user is watching a movie on VK, then his status will be “Offline”, since he is not moving around the site.
According to some reports, navigating to some sections leaves the user unnoticed, meaning you can try to navigate between sections without being noticed. But if you write a message or go to the news section, you will immediately reveal yourself.
This method can be used, but with caution - the likelihood of being discovered is high.
ATTENTION! The site administration is not responsible for the content of the applications and plugins described above. You install them at your own peril and risk.
