“VKontakte” announced an updated feed with hiding the authorship of likes

VKontakte announced one of the largest updates to the mobile application, which will include a new news feed with the ability to hide the authorship of likes, informs press service of the social network.

“The update will take place in several stages and will be available to all users within a few months,” the press service said in a statement.

At the first stage, the design of the feed will be updated: it will focus on “bright media formats and the need for users to receive information at a high speed.” In communities, the author’s photo will be added opposite the post, and two-tap “like” marks can be placed on any part of the post, while the username will not be displayed under the posts. The latter is designed to help content authors get more reactions from the audience, and users less shy.

Testing began on August 9, while only a small part of social network users received the new feed design. VKontakte will announce the future stages later. In general, the social network is going to launch several experimental features that are related to NFT and Web 3.0.
