In front of users of the social network VKontakte, it is often about how to make this or that message is invisible to a short period of time or on a specific device without performing it to remove it. Of course, we will also tell me further about the methods of realizing such hiding conversations and letters, but know that their use is very limited.
We make messages invisible
To date, it is possible to hide this or that content within the framework of the section with letters, only by using third-party software, since directly the VKontakte website does not provide such an opportunity. Moreover, even with such a situation, it is successfully hideing a certain content or a whole dialogue can be completely exclusively during the operation of a predetermined web browser and application, subject to some conditions.
Each method has many negative qualities in use, but, unfortunately, it is impossible to hide the desired content without their application.
Please note that for successful execution of recommendations from the instructions you need an active correspondence.

Of course, all letters can be returned to open access.
- Click on the AdGuard extension icon on the toolbar.
- Select "Suspend Adguard Protection".

Method 2: Stylish
First of all, before proceeding to the study of the recommendations, you should know that the expansion for Stylish browser is a means of installing the versatility for various sites. However, despite this, the supplement directly interferes with the work of CSS markup, which is why the methods of blocking some elements of VKontakte appear.
After completing the installation process, you can move to hiding the VK dialogs.
- Opening the STYLISH menu, click on the three vertical points icon and select "Create Style".
- Pre-fill in the "Enter the name" field in any way convenient to you.
- Return to the VKontakte site and click right click on the hidden conversation.
- From the presented assortment of items, select "View Code".
- In the browser console on the "Elements" tab, find the list item with the "Data-List-ID" attribute.
- Copy the numeric value assigned to this attribute.
- Open the previously running Stylish theme editor and enter such text in the "Code 1" field.
- Between double quotes, insert the identifier copied earlier.
- Next, install curly brackets as accuracy as well as demonstrated in the screenshot.
- Add the following rule into space between rows.
- As a final manipulation, use the "Save" button on the left side of the page.
- Now, if you return to the social network, the correspondence you select will disappear.
Li [Data-List-id = ""]
Li [Data-List-id = "2000000002"]
Our numbers are an exceptional example!
Display: None;
The point with the comma is necessary for compliance with the standards of markup!
It should be noted that in the case of blocking a dialogue with the VC user, not conversation, the identifier is used by the ID page of the interlocutor.
You can not create a lot of styles, and enter all the rules in one file.
Almost identical can be done with any single letter in the conversation.
- Open the correspondence and select the hidden content.
- Right-click on your Favorites and select "View Code".
- Once in the console, scroll up the contents up to the nearest element "Li".
- Make sure that the findings are correctly correcting the mouse cursor to the component in the console and the passing study of the backlight on the site page.

- Between brackets, insert the value previously taken from the social network site.
- As before, install curly brackets, leaving the space between them.
- Add special text to free space.
- Save the resulting result by using the corresponding button or the CTRL + S key combination.
- Returning in VKontakte and checking the dialogue, you will find that the message has successfully disappeared.
Li [Data-msgid = ""]
Display: None;
The editor can be closed without any additional manipulations.
When trying to hide the letter included in the same time block with others, the markup failure will occur.
This can complete the work with the Stylish application. However, as an addition, it is still necessary to make a refinement, which way you can turn off the hide mode.
