Many users of the famous social network are wondering how to see the history of VKontakte. Using this information, you can find out from which devices and at what time your account was in online status. If it has been noticed that someone other than you is visiting a personal account, you should immediately change the password. So, in order for the VKontakte history to be available to you, you should go to the profile settings. Then you need to click on the button that allows viewing activity.
Hacking protection
The VKontakte history stores information such as type of access, country, time and IP address. Consider this data in detail. Access type - this is the type of device from which your profile was visited. Options for such devices can be mobile phones, a browser, or a site through which VK authorization was carried out.
The VKontakte activity history will help you recognize fraud if you access your profile from only one device. If such suspicions arise, pay attention to the columns “Time” and “Country”. If you definitely couldn’t enter during the indicated period, it means that the page was hacked and all personal information can become public and be used for the mercenary purposes of attackers.
For clarification, look at the country and IP address. Using this parameter, you can accurately determine from which region the account was used. But sometimes the history of VKontakte activity may not determine a profile hack. IP addresses can be either static or dynamic. With the first type, everything is extremely simple - it is permanent. With dynamic, the situation is more serious. It can change when the user turns off the computer or when leaving the Internet. However, if your address is updated depending on the device from which you directly access the Internet, this is a normal situation.
If you suspect that the account is still being used by someone other than you, click "End all sessions." Seeing an inscription indicating that this operation has been performed, you can relax. Now, in order to enter your profile, you will have to go through the authorization process again. After that, it is recommended to change the password to a more complex one. Also, for additional insurance, change the secret combination in the mailbox to which the account is attached. This will help if you suddenly forgot to click on the “Logout” button on your friends computer or in an Internet cafe.
Delete all unnecessary
There are two types of cleaning history VKontakte:
- Delete directly on the social network site in your profile.
- Deletion of the general browser history, which is recommended to be performed periodically without fail.
We will tell about how to delete the VKontakte story separately. We’ll take a closer look at the process of clearing the cache in a browser. This is especially important if you log into your social network account from a work computer. Often in offices it is forbidden to visit such sites, and you may have problems with management. The cache stores all the pages that you view on the Internet. If this information accumulates a lot, the browser starts to work more slowly, freezes. Therefore, you need to remove it regularly. So, consider this process for different browsers.
Internet explorer
Open the magazine, which displays the archive of visits to various sites, including the history of VKontakte. This can be done using the Favorites button. It is located in the upper left corner of the window. It is in this place that all visits are displayed. By clicking on the “Service” button, you can delete this information. It is important to remember that if you
clear the history, most likely, with further use of social networks and other sites, you will need to re-enter usernames and passwords.
Opera browser
Going to the “Tools” tab, select the settings item. By clicking on it, in the window that appears, click “Delete History”. For the convenience of this procedure, you can configure the automatic cleaning of the cache memory. Then you do not have to repeat this manipulation every time.
Clear Cache in Mozilla Firefox Browser
You should click on “Tools”, then on “Settings and Privacy”. In the "Personal Data" column, click "Clear Now." The entire history of VKontakte regarding your visits will be deleted, as well as information about viewing other sites.
These simple ways will help to use the VK service correctly. By deleting all the information on time, you will be able to visit the sites anonymously. Recall again that when you clear the cache of any browser, all passwords and logins on the sites will be deleted. You have to re-enter them. However, some browsers have a history cleaning setting that saves site passwords. Pay particular attention to this option. And, if necessary, be sure to use it. Many experts in the field of social networks recommend writing down the login and password in a separate notebook, which is not accessible to outsiders.
