Miscellaneous / / March 15, 2022
Instructions for PC and smartphones.
If after blocking If you are looking for a new platform for publishing stories on Instagram, you can turn to the domestic social network VKontakte. She continues to work in Russia and is more popular in the country than Snapchat, from which the format of disappearing photos and videos has gone.
On a smartphone
To create a story in the VKontakte app on iOS or Android, just open the "News" page in the "Home" section and click on the "+" icon next to your profile photo.
Authors are offered four types of content:
- Stories and video stories are pictures and videos, respectively.
- Clip - uploading or creating a video for VKontakte Clips (similar to TikTok).
- Live - live broadcasts for friends in real time.
Like Instagram, users can apply filters, masks, text, and pictures to photos and videos. In the settings, you can change who can view your stories, here you can also save the story to the smartphone gallery and the ability to access the broadcast after it ends.
If you scroll to the very left screen, a section with profile QR codes will open. It allows you to create a code to quickly access your page or scan someone else's code to quickly add a user as a friend.
After publication, the story will be available for viewing within 24 hours, then only the owner will have access to it. Here's how to see all your stories since May 28, 2019 (including deleted ones):
- Open your profile.
- Click on the "Details" button.
- Go to the "History Archive" section.
Here you will see all publications. You won't be able to send them to anyone, but you can save them to your device.

On the computer
Publishing from a computer without tricks and third-party applications is also available - unlike Instagram. To do this, just open the "News" section and click on the "+" button next to your profile plate.
True, the possibilities here are severely curtailed: you can’t take a photo through a webcam (even on a laptop), upload a video, start broadcasting, or create a “Clip”. Only text posts, image uploads, stickers, and drawing mode are available. But there is a photo editor: you can adjust the exposure and color correction before publishing, or add ready-made filters.
Obviously, the function is aimed mainly at smartphone users: when creating a story through the desktop, only a vertical format is available, and there are noticeably fewer settings and functions.
As in the smartphone version, the owner retains access to old stories. To view them, just click on the "Stories Archive" button on your profile page.
