How to hide a VKontakte wall from everyone?

A wall is a special column on a social network where users can post their posts, talk about news in their lives, and much more. In addition to text, such a note may contain emoticons, attached audio and video recordings, attached photographs and documents, graffiti, a map, a timer, a survey. If privacy settings allow this, then not only the page owner himself, but also his friends or any social network user can post and read notes on the wall.

However, at some point many people need to hide their account from prying eyes.

In essence, the wall is the face of the account owner and there is no way to completely hide the information posted on it, except for one radical thing - to add a user to the blacklist, whose viewing of the wall would be undesirable. If there are several such people, then you need to add each of them to the blacklist. Thus, any information posted will not be available to them.

There is also an option to remove certain or all information from the wall if its publication is undesirable. There are special scripts for this.

However, there are several options for limiting privacy. You can prevent other social network users from leaving and commenting on posts, and you can also prevent viewing other people’s posts and comments on any of them. To do all this, you need to go to the settings menu and open the privacy settings. "Privacy" section

In them, after the “My Page” settings block, there is a block necessary for management. They have everything necessary to restrict access. You must select the most appropriate option from the drop-down lists.

If comments are disabled, you can enable them in your general account settings.

In addition, it is possible to post posts that will only be viewable by friends of the account owner. To do this, when writing news, click on the open padlock icon in the lower left corner next to the “Send” button, which should then change to a closed padlock icon. This method of restricting access cannot be applied to posts that have already been posted.

After posting a closed news item, a closed lock icon will appear next to it, which means that the news item is hidden.

All the manipulations described above will be useless if you do not pay attention to the last block when managing your account. To close, the page must be visible only to users of the social network, otherwise it can be found through a search engine.

All changes as a result can be checked using a special VKontakte function - third-party page viewing. This way you can check what she looks like to a friend or to anyone in general.

What the page looks like for any user

If everything is done correctly, the page will be edited and you won’t have to worry about third-party and unwanted surveillance of it.
