How to repost in contact mobile version. What is reposting on social networks

Reposting is an opportunity to share some information while fully preserving its structure and indicating the source. On the social network VKontakte, reposts are used to share a publication with friends or a group of people.

The VKontakte repost icon looks like a loudspeaker with a blue fill. It is located to the right of the “Like” buttons and has no signature, just an icon.

What does a repost look like?

What is reposting a post and how to do it? A repost looks like information forwarded from another source. Each group and VKontakte page has entries - so-called posts. The posts contain the basic information that we are interested in on this social network. You can attach the following elements to posts:

  • text;
  • image in jpeg formats and gif;
  • videos from YouTube hosting or from the built-in video player;
  • links to any pages on the Internet;
  • surveys;
  • music;
  • graffiti;
  • point on the map;
  • product;
  • note;
  • document.

All these elements can be contained in a post. Through posts we receive a lot of information and very often we want to share this information. This is exactly what reposts are used for. We can easily send information to a person or group of people without losing the structure and source of the content. After reposting, it completely retains the appearance of the post, only the source of this post is attached at the top. The source can include both a VK group and a person’s page. It looks like this:

How to repost

After clicking on this arrow, a dialog box appears in which we specify the repost parameters. This is what the window looks like:

Also at the top you can select the method of sending the recording as “export”. In this case, a URL version of the post appears, which can be inserted into your own website, or into a forum, and so on. In this way, it is easy to share a VKontakte group, page and other information outside the VKontakte social network itself.

Before reposting in contact on the wall, please note that below you can add a comment to the post, thus commenting on its content. The VK repost will contain this comment, and then the post itself that you are going to repost on VK. Opposite the "Share post" button there is an "Attach" button. They serve to attach third-party objects to the repost itself, that is, in addition to the post and comment itself, you can add your own picture, video, and so on.

Repost to friends and subscribers on VKontakte

If you repost VKontakte to your page, all your friends and subscribers (those who sent a friend request or subscribed) will see this repost in their news feed. Unless they blocked your posts by clicking on the cross next to one of the posts.

Community subscribers

The list contains a link to the source of the repost, an avatar, the first and last name of the person who reposted, or the name of the VK group.

In addition, under the ava and nickname there is a user comment regarding this post. Please note that this list of reposts includes only people who reposted on their wall or in a public VK group. That is, if someone reposts it to someone in private messages, a conversation, or a closed VKontakte group, this will not appear in the list of reposted people. Moreover, this will not be counted in the number of all reposts; only public reposts made for many people on the wall are counted there.

You can delete a repost only on the wall; it will always remain in private messages.

Yes, don't be surprised! Today, oddly enough, many people do not know not only how to repost on a wall in VKontakte, but also what it even is! In addition to all this, we will also tell you how to repost a repost. This innovation sounds somewhat confusing, but we will explain everything to you below. So, if you want to know everything about this VKontakte function, you just need to read this article!

Just the day before yesterday, VKontakte became able to repost a repost. Previously, reposts could only display one post. For example, to make it clearer for you: Sasha reposted posts about hamsters, adding his own comment: “But guinea pigs are still better!” Dima saw this repost on social networks and clicked on the “Tell friends” button. But then only a post about hamsters would be displayed on his wall, but not Sasha’s commentary on the benefits of guinea pigs. Recently, thanks to programmer Vasily Babich, this oversight has been corrected. Now you can repost reposts.

In addition to this good news, from now on you can personally attach various content to any repost. This could be a video, some song, a photograph, or a document. However, please be aware that posts that do not have an introductory comment or attached content will not be included in the repost thread.

Thus, the following picture emerges: the repost to which you added your own comment turns into a separate entry. That is why all the following posts of this post (which is on your wall) will include your comment too.

It’s quite complicated at first glance, right? But very soon you will understand what exactly these changes are and what they lead to. After all, it’s better to see it once than to read about it a hundred times, even in our article.
