The social network “VKontakte” has launched a new privacy feature called “Personal Space”. This is a special mode that is designed to limit communication with unwanted users. The function is very useful when there is a need to take a break from unnecessary attention and protect yourself from “uninvited guests”.
The “Personal space” mode is enabled by pressing the corresponding option in the privacy settings. The developers have made it so that the function is automatically disabled seven days after activation – apparently, in case the user forgets about it. When the mode is activated, the profile becomes closed, and only friends and friends of friends can write or call the user. The same goes for friend requests, photo tagging, and adding to group chats. The company noted that those who have previously left complaints about offensive materials will be among the first to try this feature. These users will be offered to enable the new mode by social network algorithms.
VKontakte representative Ekaterina Kochneva said that the platform offers more than two dozen privacy settings, and the “Personal Space” mode greatly simplifies this process, since it allows you to turn on all the necessary parameters with one button. Users who activate the “Private Space” mode will see special thematic materials and recommendations in the news feed to improve mental health.
Earlier, the VKontakte team added warnings about suspicious interlocutors in the messenger if the algorithms detected suspicious activity.
