If you registered in VK almost immediately after registration became available, you should know that for several years any user could hide absolutely all his friends or leave this information in the public domain. Then Pavel Durov decided that since social networks were created for communication and new acquaintances, it would be worth making all friends open, which, in fact, happened. Whether it's good or bad, it's not up to us to decide - what's done is done. However, the leadership of VKontakte left the possibility of hiding 15 friends at first, and later this number increased to 30 users. Today we will talk about how to hide your friends in VK.

On the left side of the page there is a menu, find the item "My settings" in it and click on it.

Then select the "Privacy" tab. At the top of the page is the "My Page" section, one of the items of which is called "Who is visible in the list of my friends and subscriptions." Here's what it looks like:

Since you haven't hidden any of your friends yet, you'll see this message:

You can select the friends you want to hide from other users. They will not appear on your page.

In order to add a person to the list of hidden friends, click on the cross, which is located to the right of the username. As soon as you do this, the icon with his avatar will move to the right half of the window, for example:

After you transfer the required number of friends to the category of hidden ones (do not forget that there can be no more than 30 of them), be sure to click on the "Save changes" button.

For the sake of example, we have hidden all friends. Now let's go to the page from another account and see if someone will be visible in the list:

As you can see, no list exists at all, since all friends are hidden.

In order to remove a user from the list of hidden friends, you need to carry out the same procedure, only in reverse order.

And finally, a popular question. Is it possible to hide more than 30 friends in VK? Alas, this is not possible, at least at the time of writing. Perhaps the rules will change in the future.
