Recently, the social network VKontakte has introduced restrictions on listening to music through mobile applications. The main one is related to the fact that users cannot listen to music for more than 60 minutes in the background. In this instruction, they talked about how to listen to music on VKontakte without this limitation.
Attention!The information in this manual is provided for informational purposes only. As diehard Apple fans, we recommend listening to your music through a music streaming service.
Why did VKontakte introduce such a restriction?
On October 1, 2017, the VKontakte social network introduced a paid subscription to listen to music. The subscription is estimated at 149 rubles per month. If the user does not have a subscription, then after an hour of listening to music in the background, he will receive the following notification.
The introduction of a paid subscription to music has become a necessity for VKontakte. For several years the copyright holders have been struggling with the social network due to the fact that all music, without exception, was available on VKontakte for free. The owners of the rights to music even threatened to completely ban music on the social network, which the VKontakte administration, of course, did not want. Music is an integral part of the social network, without which its attractiveness in the eyes of users would definitely fall. The result of litigation with copyright holders was the introduction of a paid subscription to music.
Step 1. Go to the " Settings» → « The main» → « date and time».
Step 2. Uncheck the box next to " Automatically»In order to be able to select the date and time manually.
Step 3. Click on the line that appears with the current date.
Step 4. Set the date to yesterday. For example, if today is November 21, then you need to select November 20.
Done! Immediately after setting a new date, music on VKontakte will be available for listening in the background without any restrictions. You can change the date to the current one immediately by checking the “Automatic” checkbox. For the next hour (and in some cases more), music from VKontakte will be played in the background without any problems.
One of the most popular functions of the site is listening to music, and on this, the administration decided to earn extra money. In April 2017, users of the mobile application were in for an unpleasant surprise in the form of a restriction on listening - 1 hour per day (later the time was reduced to 30 minutes), for the web version, advertising played before the composition was turned on.
The innovation was negatively received by the audience, and options began to appear to remove the restriction. Today we will only talk about the working methods that any user can implement.
A popular way to listen to music without limits
By releasing new versions of the mobile application, VK constantly closes the "holes" with the help of which users bypass the limit on listening to music. In order not to be left without your favorite tracks at the most inconvenient moment - download the entire playlist from your page to your phone.

Transfer the time on your phone
Is the allotted 30 minutes over and the music stops playing in the background? Close the Vkontakte application, set the date a day earlier or later - enjoy listening again.
1. Go to the menu of your Android device. Click the Settings icon.
2. Find the "System" - "Date and Time" section. Disable automatic date detection and set a new one.
Do not be alarmed if, after the translation, other installed applications stop working correctly or the network disappears. After restoring the current date, everything will be restored.
Use a headset
This method is especially relevant for Iphone owners, since when buying a device, a headset with a call accept / end button is included.
1. Connect headphones.
2. Open the VK mobile application and start playing the song.
3. Pause it, then put your smartphone in the background (short press on the "Power off" button).
4. Press the accept call button. It is located in the middle of the wire.
This trick can work on phones running Android, provided that the native headset is used.
Disable screen lock
Feature of VK limit - listening is limited only in the background... The way out is simple - disable automatic screen lock in settings.
1. Open the settings. Go to the "Device" section.
2. Find the item "Display" - "Sleep mode". Set the value as high as possible.
Advice - do not put your phone in your pocket with an unlocked screen. You be sure to dial a random number (possibly overseas and you will be left without money on your account) or run a couple of installed applications.
Use the mobile version of the site
The music limit is not tied to your specific account, but to the application id in the system. To bypass the restriction, it is enough to use not the official program, but the mobile version of the site.
1. Launch any browser installed on your phone (Chrome, Safari). Go to m.vk.com.
On some versions of Android, when the smartphone goes into "Sleep mode", the playback of songs may stop.
Unlimited music in alternative clients
Apart from the official app, there are a number of third-party programs. They, like the old versions of Vkontakte, cache music, allowing you to listen to it without the Internet, for an unlimited amount of time.
The most popular are:
- VK Coffee;
- VMP (page at w3bsit3-dns.com).
Downloading and installing them from the official AppStore and Google Play stores will not work, only from third-party resources. Before installing on Android, go to "Settings" and enable the installation of applications from unknown sources.
Remember - installing applications and then entering data from your accounts, may lead to its loss or freezing.
Install VK version 4.8.3 and below
In version 4.8.4, there was a restriction on listening to songs. Many users install older versions of the application or new ones that contain a special patch to remove the limitation.
1. Enable installation of applications from unknown sources (the procedure is described above).
2. Remove the official Vkontakte client.
3. Install an older version, such as this one.
Do not be surprised if, after installation, part of the functionality of the social network is missing, for that it is the "old version".
Conclusion
At the time of this writing, all methods are working. Over time, they may lose relevance or new ones appear. The most reliable option remains - to make concessions to the VK administration, paying 149 rubles for and listening to your favorite music for free.
Do not forget about similar services that can be used instead of Vkontakte:
