In the modern world, social networks have become an integral part of our lives. Every day, millions of users visit their VK pages to communicate with friends, learn news, and share their thoughts.
One of the most popular ways to communicate is by creating a VK group. In this article, we will tell you how to create a group in VK from your phone and what features to consider.
How to create a group: step-by-step instructions
Creating a VK group on Android and iPhone is not significantly different. Here is a step-by-step guide for both devices.
Step 1. Launch the VKontakte application. If you don't have an account yet, register. If you already have an account, log in.
Step 2. Click the "Services" icon - it's located at the bottom of the screen. Then – "Communities," and after that, the "+" icon in the upper right corner of the screen.
Step 3. Come up with a name and choose whether your group will be open or private. Depending on its type, various settings and options will be available.
Step 4. Specify the group's theme. It can be cooking or medicine, job search or pets, cars or design, leisure or programming – and much more. If you specify a theme, the group will be easier to find.
Step 5. Add a cover for the group. It can be an image or video that will be displayed on the group's main page. The cover should be high quality and correspond to the group's theme.
Step 6. Invite members to your group. You can send invitations to your VK friends or use special services to find new members. Remember: the more members, the more interesting and active your group will be.
How to configure the group
Once the group is created, it needs to be configured. Configuring a VK group includes several steps that will help you create an attractive and functional community for your audience. Here are the main parameters for configuring a VK group.
