Updates to the Music section:
• The Explore tab now features a chart ranking top albums right next to a list of top tracks. They’re updated daily, so you’ll be able to stay on top of the latest trends in music, see who’s new to the chart, who’s rising, and who’s on their way out.
• Artist overviews now have “Appears on” and “Found in playlists” sections where you can find out about your favorite artists’ projects and listen to playlists they’re in.
Now you’ll be able to see if someone is trying to send you a photo or video, just like with text and voice messages. There will no longer be any awkward silences while files are uploading.
It was time to do some spring cleaning, so the first things we threw out, of course, were some bugs.
Like voice messages and going for walks? Then these updates are for you.
• Edit voice messages
Did background noise mess up the transcription? It’s easy to fix! Just open the transcription, tap it to open the menu and select Edit text. You can edit the transcription within 24 hours of sending the voice message.
• Create and accept challenges in VK Steps
We introduced walking competitions to the service in the Challenges tab. Two challenges are already active and winners have yet to be announced.
Notifications about people leaving old chats won’t bother you anymore. An automatic message will still appear in the chat when someone leaves, but the number of unread messages won’t increase, and the chat won’t move up in your chat list. This applies to chats with more than 10 members or ones that no one has written in for at least a week.

We’re tidying up after the holidays. We made sure the app was running smoothly, got rid of some bugs and finally threw out the Christmas tree.

Snowflakes melt fast — but not the ones on our icon! Update the app and enjoy a bit of winter magic every time you see them. Ring in the New Year with funny predictions and end-of-the-year statistics. And don’t forget to wish your loved ones happy holidays on VK!

Meet the newest addition to thematic feeds: a tab for football fans. Here, you can find the latest news straight from the stadiums, live streams of matches, expert analysis and comments from official club and team communities.
You can scroll through it or check out other thematic feeds on topics such as science, travel or movies. All you have to do is go to the News tab and start swiping left until you reach the feed you want.
Now you can send voice messages up to an hour long, giving you plenty of time to tell others about your day or get some ideas off your chest.

Now you can choose whether you want chat members’ names to come from their VK profiles or your phone’s contact list. Just sync your contacts or enable the option in your settings.
That way, if you have your friend as “Platypus” on your phone, they’ll show up that way on VK too.

Added new familiar messenger features:

Summer 2020 is now just a memory. And some bugs on the app are as well.
We upgraded the voice message speech recognition feature. Now words you search for are highlighted, making voice messages easier to find. Transcribed text is easy to copy so that you can, for example, respond to a specific part of a message.

Social distancing gives us a great opportunity to work on ourselves as well as the app.
Now you can make all poll votes final. Once a vote has been submitted, it can’t be changed or retracted. This way, you can set up knowledge tests and make sure your voters aren’t being swayed by others’ opinions.
