Today, VKontakte is not only friends, but also subscribers and many users cannot understand how these people are different. In our article we will answer this question.
Previously, VKontakte were only friends and there were no subscribers, but still over time this function was introduced. Not all users understand why they are needed and in general, what's the difference between them and friends. Let's figure it out.
What is the difference between friends and subscribers of VK?
When you send an application for some user VKontakte as a friend, you immediately become his subscriber. That is, you can see what he publishes on the wall, his new photos and so on. But in order for friendship to be mutual, the user must accept your application.
If he does not do this, then you will remain in the subscribers, although this will not affect anything, except that the message cannot be written if the access is limited. But this is provided that your potential friend will open a page. Otherwise, you will not be able to view the information.
In addition, if the application for friends is accepted, then there are more opportunities, because users usually allow their friends more than subscribers.
