How to Bring VKontakte, Telegram and Instagram Into One Place

A practical way to keep every social network and messenger in one window with shared notifications — without a dozen open browser tabs.

· By the Centrio team

Who especially needs this

  • SMM manager: runs VKontakte groups, Telegram channels and Instagram accounts for several clients at once — each one demanding its own login and constant switching between browser tabs.
  • Business page owner: a personal account and a brand's business page on the same social network — most sites don't offer a built-in way to sign in to two different profiles of the same network at once.
  • Content creator: publishing to VKontakte, a Telegram channel and Instagram in parallel, and replying to followers on all of them — it's easy to miss a message just because a tab was minimized.

How to set it up in 5 steps

  1. Install Centrio. A free installer for Windows, macOS or Linux, with no time limit on use.
  2. Add the social networks you need. VKontakte, Telegram, Instagram, WhatsApp, X (Twitter) — the "+" button adds any site by URL, not just messengers from the built-in catalog.
  3. Add a second account of the same network if you need one. A personal VKontakte and a brand page, two different Telegram channels — every added tab gets its own isolated sign-in session.
  4. Organize tabs into folders. Group personal and work into separate folders — switching between contexts takes one click instead of hunting for the right browser tab.
  5. Set up notifications. A shared unread badge on the tray icon across every social network, plus separate sound settings for each individual tab.

FAQ

Can I run several VKontakte accounts at once?

Yes — if you add VKontakte to Centrio twice (or more), each tab gets its own isolated session, independent of the others, and you can sign in to each one under its own account.

Does this replace the official social apps?

Centrio opens the web version of each social network in an isolated tab — functionally it's the same site you'd open in a browser, just with shared notifications and without needing to keep the browser itself open.

Do passwords and sessions get wiped when I restart my computer?

No, sessions persist across restarts — unlike a browser's private tabs, where you'd have to sign in again every time.

Does this work for messengers and social networks together, in one app?

Yes, there's no split between "messengers here, social networks there" — every tab you add lives in the same window regardless of the type of service.
