In this case, you will have to join the group, then fulfill the conditions of the fixed post, and only after that, they may call you back (for example, no one called me back in 3 hours).

And so we got to the most simple and fast way activation. We go to the official group "Team VKontakte" and find an entry dated April 28, in which all users were notified of the update. Here you can leave a comment "call back" and in a matter of seconds you will receive calls.

In the "Contact me" section, the column "Who can call me" will appear. By opening it, you can select several values ​​​​and limit this function to a certain circle of people.

Important! The function is only available for mobile applications, so the settings full version VC have not changed, i.e. if you open the site on a PC, you will not see the corresponding item there, because it is displayed only in the application.

Technical features

Vkontakte calls are positioned as an encrypted means of communication, within which communication is carried out directly, while no data is stored on servers social network. This is written in black and white in the official description of the service. It says here that neither eavesdropping nor handing over the keys to third parties will be technically impossible. Not counting, probably, Roskomnadzor.

This was reported back in February. Now iPhone users have the opportunity to test the function. To do this, you need to install a free jailbreak tweak from Cydia.
