Why doesn't the VK application open groups? Why does the VKontakte application not allow me to enter the community (cm)? How to remove restrictions on iPhone

Being a user of Apple technology is always difficult, because there are so many restrictions. One of them is safe search in the VK application.

Today we will talk about what options there are to remove it. That is, all the ways to disable this function in VKontakte on your iPhone will be provided.

What is VKontakte Safe Search?

VK Safe Search- a filter that allows you to hide all content that may contain pornography and other adult materials in video search results.

This feature only applies to videos. When you start searching for something, you may come across content that is intended for adults.

If the user's age is less than 18 years old, this feature will be enabled automatically. Otherwise, you can turn it off yourself.

How to remove/remove restrictions in VK on iPhone?

Now let's talk about this if you are the proud owner of an iPhone or iPad. We all know that there are usually far fewer features available on iOS than on Android.


This time, exactly the same situation occurred and the official VKontakte application does not have the ability to disable restrictions.

Third-party clients do not help, because most of them simply do not have a video section. Therefore, we have to take extreme measures.

  1. open any browser and write in the address bar vk.com, after which the mobile version will open;
  2. open the left menu, scroll down and click Full version;
  3. go to the section Videos, write the required request;
  4. appears on the right Search options, which we click, and then check the box next to No limits.


Unfortunately, this opportunity exists only on the full version for computers and for devices that run on the Android operating system.

The method is a little inconvenient, but there is simply no other way. In the initial versions this option was present, but now we have to put up with what we have.

Why does the VKontakte application not allow me to enter the community (cm)?

    First, try using a different browser - it’s called safari, they write on the forums that such problems do not arise with it.

    If this does not help, specify a different age through the VK settings - at least 21 years old.

    Another option is to install VK 2.0.

    The VKontakte application does not allow you to enter the community - this may be due to several reasons:

    1) Firstly, perhaps this is just a glitch - try exiting and re-entering the application, while restarting your smartphone;

    2) Secondly, perhaps in the settings you just need to uncheck the item called Hide information for adults;

    3) Thirdly, this may be an age limit for such communities if you are not yet 18 years old. To get around this point, you just need to change the age in your profile.

    I also encountered the problem of accessing certain VKontakte communities/groups. Only these pages did not contain materials for adults (these were BC groups and it turned out that they were simply frozen).

    In your case, the privacy/access settings for such content have most likely been changed (by you or someone else). You need to uncheck the Hide information for adults checkbox.

    Also, if you log in through the native iPhone browser - Safari, the group will open.

    To open such communities, you can also download the VKsettings application.

    Let's try to consider options that fit this problem.

    First, it's just a system glitch. Try reloading your page. You should exit the application and then log in again. And if after such manipulations everything remains the same, then restart your device and try again.

    Second option, see if the community has any restrictions. For example, if you are not an adult, then there may be age restrictions in the community.

    Third, you need to visit the settings. There may be a checkmark in the Hide information for adults item. The checkbox must be unchecked, and then the community will be open to you.

    Blocking a community is possible when you set the restrictions yourself in the settings, set them yourself. Perhaps, of course, the failure occurs in the social network itself. Let the experts fix it, and you just have to wait.

    You may have Hide adult information in your settings. Look through the settings, maybe that's the reason. Also depends on the age specified in your profile. If you are under 18, then you can raise the age, although this will not be entirely fair.

    Most likely, you mistakenly set settings that prohibit free access to the VKontakte group, go into it without the application and look at all the restrictions and additional settings, if there are none, then contact the administration.

    I also have this problem with my iPhone. I can't access some groups even though they don't contain adult content. Some people advise changing your date of birth in your profile, but I can say that this definitely has nothing to do with it, because I’m no longer 18 and my date of birth is in VK. It's all about the application, I use VKontakte and for some reason it hides information in some groups at its discretion.

    If you log in through the standard Safari browser, this problem will not occur.

    Apparently your settings are blocking access to certain VKontakte pages - in particular, those pages that contain materials marked 18+.

    Also, on VKontakte a couple of years ago it became possible to set age restrictions in communities. If it says 18+, then the content of this group is automatically blocked if you have not reached this age.

    You can try to solve this problem like this:

    1) change age settings;

    2) set a different date of birth in your profile.

    You can also try installing the unofficial VKsettings application, which has additional features - you may be able to enter the group with its help.

If you are a scientist yourself or simply an inquisitive person, and you often watch or read the latest news in the field of science or technology. It is for you that we have created such a section, which covers the latest world news in the field of new scientific discoveries, achievements, as well as in the field of technology. Only the latest events and only verified sources.


In our progressive times, science moves at a fast pace, so it is not always possible to keep up with them. Some old dogmas are crumbling, some new ones are being put forward. Humanity does not stand still and should not stand still, and the engine of humanity is scientists and scientific figures. And at any moment a discovery can occur that can not only amaze the minds of the entire population of the globe, but also radically change our lives.


Medicine plays a special role in science, since man, unfortunately, is not immortal, is fragile and very vulnerable to all kinds of diseases. Many people know that in the Middle Ages people lived on average 30 years, and now 60-80 years. That is, life expectancy has at least doubled. This was, of course, influenced by a combination of factors, but it was medicine that played a major role. And, for sure, 60-80 years is not the limit of an average life for a person. It is quite possible that someday people will step over the 100-year mark. Scientists from all over the world are fighting for this.


Developments are constantly underway in the field of other sciences. Every year, scientists from all over the world make small discoveries, little by little moving humanity forward and improving our lives. Places untouched by man are being explored, primarily, of course, on our home planet. However, work is constantly happening in space.


Among technology, robotics is especially rushing forward. The creation of an ideal intelligent robot is underway. Once upon a time, robots were an element of science fiction and nothing more. But already at the moment, some corporations have real robots on their staff that perform various functions and help optimize labor, save resources and perform hazardous activities for humans.


I would also like to pay special attention to electronic computers, which 50 years ago took up a huge amount of space, were slow and required a whole team of employees to maintain them. And now there is such a machine in almost every home, it is already called more simply and briefly - a computer. Now they are not only compact, but also many times faster than their predecessors, and anyone can understand it. With the advent of the computer, humanity opened a new era, which many call “technological” or “information”.


Remembering the computer, we should not forget about the creation of the Internet. This also gave a huge result for humanity. This is an inexhaustible source of information, which is now available to almost every person. It connects people from different continents and transmits information at lightning speed, something that would have been impossible to even dream of 100 years ago.


In this section, you will certainly find something interesting, exciting and educational for yourself. Perhaps even someday you will be able to be one of the first to learn about a discovery that will not just change the world, but will change your consciousness.

The social network “VK” constantly produces various errors and introduces restrictions. At the moment, iPhone users often encounter the error “The community probably contains inappropriate materials and is not available for viewing,” which appears in the mobile version of the network. The restriction blocks the ability to subscribe to groups and view the content contained in it. We will tell you what this limitation is and how to quickly bypass it on your iPhone.

Why does iPhone block VK groups?

Most often, society can be blocked due to 18+ materials. Also subject to such a ban are public pages that are of an extremist nature, calling for violence, etc. What is characteristic is that it is the VK platform for iOS that is subject to a warning that the page contains inappropriate materials and is not available for viewing on VK. This is due to the strict policy of Apple Corporation, which does not want to show prohibited materials to its users. It is not a fact that blocked groups actually contain such information - everything is done at the discretion of Apple, they also write “Probably”.

The second point is that the community administrators themselves set an age limit for subscribers and guests. This approach is necessary while observing the general rules of morality and law.

How to remove restrictions on iPhone

First of all, in the “VK” profile you need to set the age above 18 years. Additionally, we also do the same in our Apple ID account. After this, the restrictions should be lifted. If you are a group admin and receive questions like this, review and remove the age restrictions for viewing your community pages. This is all done in the group management menu.

Browser

The official VKontakte application on iPhone should be closed. Now we go to the social network through any browser. We log in and go to the public page that interests us. He should be without a ban. This is due to the fact that browsers are not subject to censorship by Apple, since they are not its product. This corporation always monitors copyright, developer requirements and licenses.

Open the blocked community via VK in the browser

Third party application

If you abandon the official VK application and use unofficial clients, the ban will also disappear. In the store you can find a large amount of such software designed for working on social networks, for example, such as “Tsarsky VK” or “Kate Mobile”. We choose the software we like and use it. The corporation's censorship circumvention is in effect again.

Bide the time

If the ban is imposed accidentally, it will undoubtedly be lifted after some time. If it doesn’t work for you, wait a few days, and then try visiting the public again. It would be a good idea to contact the group admins to clarify the situation. You can also write to the developers “VK”. The main thing is to be persistent in getting an answer. This is also true for owners of communities that have received a ban. Be sure to seek the removal of restrictions, because otherwise the group’s progress will be minimal.

I created a community (group or public) on VKontakte, but it does not appear in the search and cannot be found by name. What is the reason? When will it appear there? What needs to be fixed?

The main reason

Perhaps in the settings of your group or public the age limit is set to 16+ or 18+, although there is no “adult” content there. Later it turns out that the group is not displayed in VKontakte safe search, and in the iPhone application it does not even open via the link - a message is displayed:

The community likely contains inappropriate content and is not viewable.

The fact is that Apple (iPhone manufacturer) is strict about “adult” materials and requires them to be hidden in applications regardless of the user’s age. Therefore, VKontakte developers are forced to do this in their application. And in a search on the VK website, such a group can be found only by unchecking "Safe search"- not everyone will notice it, since it is located at the very end of the search parameters.

If you set an age limit in a group, you are voluntarily informing that your group needs to be hidden. Without fully understanding what exactly you are doing, you will not close the group from teenagers, but will only prevent all normal people from joining it.

How to remove age restrictions in a group

If there is no “adult” content in the group, go to community management (via the button with three dots - ) and in the “Additional information” section, click “Specify age restrictions”:


Then select an option "Under 16 years old" to remove the restriction, and press "Save".


This should solve the problem. But keep in mind that the group may not appear in the search immediately, but after some time.

When will the group appear in the search?

Why is the VKontakte group not in search engines - Yandex, Google?

Because it does not get into search engines (indexed) immediately, but after some time, sometimes quite long - two weeks, a month. This depends on how quickly search engines find the group (i.e., on the presence of links to it on the Internet), its content and other factors. In addition, Yandex or Google may decide not to show the group in search results at all - for their own reasons.

There is a belief that if you leave a link to your group in the comments below, it will appear in the search. However, it is not. In fact, you need to carefully read this article again and now actually implement the recommendations.
