We made a few changes to help the app work properly.
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 got rid of a bunch of bugs that you reported.

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.
With a new year comes a new update (and fewer bugs!).
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.

Not sure where to find good, non-mainstream music? Check out the Curators block in the Explore tab of the Music section. There, you’ll find music collections curated by communities whose tastes thousands of people trust. Follow your favorite curators, and they’ll be displayed right in the Music section.

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.

The Messages section is now Messenger. This new name more accurately reflects the service’s features, as it’s not only used to send messages but make calls, transfer money and share music, photos, videos and documents as well.
Added new familiar messenger features:
• Chat with people from your phone’s contacts on VK by syncing them with the app.
• Add custom backgrounds to chats. Choose one of the default ones or upload an image.

Meet the VK Health platform! It’ll help you learn more about your body and start developing good habits. Ask your friends for help, compete and share your achievements. The platform can encourage you to quit smoking, remind you to take your medicine and give you tips on how to relieve stress.
Over time, VK Health will offer more features, including a leaderboard displaying the number of steps you and your friends have taken. Go out and see who can walk the most!

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.

Introducing the “Shopping” section! Here you’ll find a personalized feed containing tens of thousands of products with reviews from buyers and sellers. Make your order right on VK by selecting the items you want and tapping “Buy”.
Now you can buy products from your favorite communities using payment cards in addition to VK Pay. To make this option available, community managers need to enable it in their Store settings.
• Manage your chats
You can now decide whether chat members can invite other people, start group calls, change the chat name or pin messages.
• Mark chats as unread
Now you can come back to messages later if you don’t have time to reply to them now. Just tap and hold a chat for a few seconds to find this option.
We fixed a few bugs to improve video quality.
We’re continuing to fix errors that are bugging you.
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.
Not even self-isolation can get in the way of us making the app better.

One small update for developers, one giant leap for mankind.
Using bookmarks became even easier. Profiles and communities are now grouped into separate categories, which allows you to quickly find pages you’re looking for.
