If you have been an active member of VKontakte since its launch, then you know how many changes the social network has already undergone. The design was corrected, some functions and sections appeared, others were removed. Today we will ponastalize a little and remember about such a section as VKontakte Notes. You probably think that you will not be able to read your old notes. But we will tell you how to find them and give tremulous memories.

What are Notes?

For old-timers of VK it was a cult time. The time when users posted text publications on their pages and anxiously awaited ratings from their Friends. But among those reading this article, for sure, there are those who have not seen the notes section. We will conduct a small educational program for them.

The appearance of VKontakte Notes fell on the stage of launching the service. The section was part of the standard at that time, so all newcomers got acquainted with it social network... At that time, the VK Wall itself looked different, and the form of publications was different. If today you immediately post all your thoughts on the Wall, then Notes were used for these purposes. For the most part, these were sentimental-looking texts - prosaic sketches, poems, reasoning and reflections, etc.

Users of the "contact" could read the publication and add a comment to it. But there were no likes yet, so the popularity of posts was estimated by the number of comments left. By the way, it was impossible to “share” the texts you liked: the function was simply not provided.

At some point, it became clear that the Notes were noticeably outdated. They were no longer so interesting to users, they were updated less and less frequently. But the developers still tried to transform the section, adding new functions in 2011 - the ability to publish with music and photos. However, this did not save the section from "death", and soon it ceased to exist as an independent one.

Where are the Notes now?

Logical questions: where did VKontakte Notes go and is it even possible to find them in the “VKontakte” space? Don't worry, all your e-mails made in VK have been preserved. It's just that the management of the social network decided to remove the section itself, and you will not see it in the main menu of the site.

Why was this done at all? And for the reason that the social network underwent serious changes: it was gradually transferred to a blog format following the template of the notorious Facebook. Hence the structural transformations within the already familiar site.

However, there is another explanation for the decision taken by the VK leadership. In the Support Service, where many users contacted, they talked about the need to change the format of Notes in order to protect personal data. According to representatives of the social network, users often used notes in the "contact" in order to save passwords, codes and other important information. At the same time, security and privacy settings often failed, risking revealing confidential data to third parties. To avoid such situations, it was decided to move all previously written Notes to the Wall, where to this day you can find your old publications. And for storage important information The support service offers to create records in a private group.

And, of course, now we will tell you how to look at the very cherished notes that you left on the pages of "contact". We act as follows:
1. Go to your VK profile (My Page);

2. Go to the "My Notes" tab on the Wall;

3. Once again click on "My records";

4. Go to the "My Notes" section.

Voila! 4 simple steps - and you can set off on the waves of your memory. What a blessing that the function of notes is gone, but they themselves are not.

By the way, there is also an alternative way to go to the long-forgotten section. You can simply fill in the direct link in the address bar of your browser: http://vk.com/notes. This will probably be even easier.

There is, of course, its BUT. In this case, it hides the impossibility of searching for your old records through an application for iPhone or smartphones on Android. However, you can go to Safari or whatever browser you use and type the above link into the address bar.

It is difficult to say how correct the decision of the management was to delete the VKontakte notes. But today very few people remember them, and the new site format seems to be quite harmonious and understandable. Well, you can always indulge in nostalgia using the methods we told you about above.

The social network VKontakte, like many similar sites, has a large number of types of records that are unique to this resource. One of these subtypes of posts are notes, the search and detection of which can cause a lot of difficulties for novice users.

Search for created notes

The owners of most modern smartphones have at least once faced the need to record useful information using a mobile gadget like a high-tech digital notepad.

For most models on Android app notes are required to be additionally downloaded from Play Market... However, the phones of the Chinese brand "Xiaomi" are already equipped with a built-in program, where the records themselves and the photos attached to them can be stored and stored. Using the same application, you can also make a checklist (a list of household chores, work tasks or purchases) and even use this method to view Xiaomi's hidden notes in the device's memory.

It is often necessary to hide the recorded information because it is confidential and should not be available to outsiders. To do this, have smartphones Xiaomi there is a special function that allows, if necessary, to first hide and then restore the normal display of records. You can prevent viewing hidden data by following a few simple steps:

After that, the records will disappear from the main and open list for all. And before you read them, you have to perform certain actions.

Tune

You can return the records back - so that you do not get access to them with a password every time - by performing the reverse procedure:

1. Open Notes. Once you are in the application, open access to hidden entries.
2. Mark information that is already hidden.
3. Cancel hiding with the corresponding button.

After that, all hidden notes will be displayed in the general list again. And, although they will be available to outsiders, they will not require unnecessary user actions when reading or changing information. If the need to maintain confidentiality still remains, the lock and password can be set on a smartphone.

It should be noted that the option to hide entries is not available for all phone models. Relatively new function appeared only starting with the 8th version of the MIUI firmware. For example, Redmi Note 3 Pro has it, as well as many new features for owners of Xiaomi smartphones released since 2016.
