How to find acquaintances on Instagram through a Vk account

There are several completely different ways to find your friends on Vkontakte. Namely:

• using ID;
• through subscriptions.

They have different effectiveness, but why not try. For convenience of choice, let’s consider each one separately.

Through third-party services

And the first way to find out someone’s Instagram through VK is to check through an online site. Services that provide such information include:

By user nickname

A more effective way is through a friend’s username. The step-by-step instructions in this case are simple and standard:

1. Open the user’s profile and look at their username.
2. Go back to the social network and click on the magnifying glass.
3. Click on the search bar and enter the copied username.
4. Look at the recommendations given and find and follow the appropriate page.

Note. If the username is not available, search for the friend’s name and surname. It works just as successfully.

We use hashtags and geotags

If you know where the desired user is or have recently attended a joint event, you can try to find them through a geolocation tag. To do this:

1. Unlock your smartphone screen and launch Instagram.
2. Log in to your account using your standard login (phone number/username/email) and password.
3. Tap on the icon in the form of a “magnifying glass” and click on the search bar.
4. Go to the “Places” tab and enter the address or name of the establishment where the person recently visited.
5. View the results in the “Top” and “Recent” sections.

If you didn’t find the person you were looking for, they may not have tagged themselves in photos, but they may have used a hashtag. To friend them by hashtag, you need to:

1. Go back to the “magnifying glass” tab and click on the search bar.
2. Open “Tags” and enter the presumed tag words.
3. Click on the tag that interests you and find the person you need.

Through VKontakte ID

The fourth way to gather old contacts for communication is to use VK ID. To do this, follow these steps:

1. Go to VK and open the page of the person you like.
2. Click on the URL and copy the words that come after “/id….”.
3. Go to the Instagram app and paste them into the search bar.

Then all you have to do is check the list of people suggested to you by the Instagram service.

Note. If there are numbers after “id….”, use one of the third-party services described above.

Search through friends and subscriptions

If you know that you are subscribed to a mutual acquaintance, finding the right person becomes much easier. Just follow the steps below:

1. Go to your Instagram profile page.
2. Open your list of subscriptions and click on the aforementioned mutual acquaintance.
3. Click on the “Subscriptions” button and click on the search bar.
4. Try entering the name or username of your friend.

If it doesn’t work, scroll through manually. Once the face seems familiar to you, tap on the profile and check if this is the person you are looking for.

How to find Instagram friends through VK on your phone

If none of the above methods for finding people helped you, try inviting acquaintances through an active link. Follow the steps below:

1. Launch the Instagram app and log in to your account.
2. Click on the “person” icon and go to the settings section.
3. Click on “Follow Friends” and “Invite Using…”.
4. Select “VKontakte – message” from the list.
5. Select the person you want to invite to the social network and confirm sending the message.

Important. Instagram and VK synchronization for finding contacts is now unavailable after a recent update.
