Method 3. Messaging with ID

This method is good if the user has closed the social network tab, but has saved the login details on their computer.

1. Find the ID - personal page number. When you are logged in to VKontakte, the ID is visible in the address bar at the top (to the right of the update icon): vk.com/id* * * * * * * * * * , where the asterisks are a set of numbers unique to each user.
2. Paste into Yandex, Google, any browser you use, the command: //vk.com/im?sel=* * * * * * * * * * . Instead of the asterisks - the digits of your ID.
3. Press enter, you will get to your VK messages.

There is no need to enter the command manually each time you go to the search engine. Write it down once, save, copy and paste - perfect your epistolary skills.

Method 4: If you do not want to bother, find yourself with a friend

1. Go to the "friends" menu in your VKontakte profile home page.
2. Select any friend and visit his page.
3. Look through your friends list. Find yourself.
4. Hover your cursor over the "send message" caption, below your own nickname (name).
5. Click the left mouse button. Now you can write to yourself.

Method 5. From your smartphone works too

Whether you are in the VK mobile application or you have accessed your page in the browser.

1. Click the messaging icon (at the bottom of your phone) to open the chat.
2. In the search field write your nickname.
3. Select your avatar by tapping your finger.
4. Speak up - don't be shy.

To avoid getting lost, you may post it on your wall or send it to a friend. In spite of this, it is more convenient to write a message to yourself. After all the post on the wall will be seen by others and you do not want to bother your friend.

Why write to yourself?

It turns out you can send a message to yourself in VKontakte. And the first thing to ask is, "Why?"

This is a very handy feature, once you figure it out, you'll use it all the time.

To keep your nose to the grindstone in today's world, you often have to write something down on the run. Save a phone number, a link, an email address just when you do not have a pencil handy.

But these are not all the features of a social network. In VK, you can create and send messages 4096 characters long (more than three A4 pages) - you could take notes for a lecture. And it's also easy to send yourself photos, music, and even to make a repost to your personal chat room.
