Can people with your phone number find you on Kik?

The Kik app includes an optional feature that you can turn on to help find your friends on Kik. The feature works by checking for accounts in Kik that match an email address or phone number stored in your contacts (on your smartphone). If we find a match, we’ll notify both you and your friend with a Kik message.

Can I be tracked on Kik?

Kik and similar applications like Whatsapp allow users to send secure messages over the internet. Kik does not track the content of messages or the phone numbers of users, making it difficult for police to find identifying information in child pornography cases.

What information can someone get from Kik?

Kik has established processes for obtaining tombstone data in the case of an emergency, and for cases of child sexual exploitation or child abuse. Available information might include first and last name, email address, IP addresses, account creation date, and device type and manufacturer.

How can I use Kik without a phone number?

Kik is way more than just messaging. It’s the easiest way to connect with your friends, stay in the loop, and explore-all through chat. No phone numbers, just pick a username. Choose who to chat with one-on-one and in groups.

Does Kik automatically delete messages?

The answer is YES. Kik deletes old messages automatically. It doesn’t save all your chat history and will automatically delete the old messages once you have exceeded the maximum number of messages you can save on Kik. On Kik for iPhone, you can see only the last 1000 messages in the recent chats.

Can Kik be used without app?

You can use Kik without installing the app on your phone but you will still need an installation. It is all contained within the app itself and works completely within it. If you’re not in a position to run it on your phone, you will need to install an Android emulator on your PC and run Kik from there.
