Kik Messenger Facts

Here is pretty much everything you ever wanted to know about Kik Messenger.


kik messenger statistics user count facts 2023Kik Messenger, often simply called Kik, is a freeware instant messaging mobile app developed and owned by the Canadian company Kik Interactive. The app is available on iOS and Android operating systems.

Kik Messenger allows users to send and receive text messages, photos, videos, sketches, and other content over an internet connection. The app uses usernames rather than phone numbers as user identification, providing users with a level of anonymity. Kik Messenger also features group chat capabilities, and users can create and join public or private groups based on shared interests.

Kik Messenger gained popularity in part because of its focus on anonymity, but has also been criticized for being used by predators and for its use in cyberbullying incidents. In response, Kik Interactive has implemented several safety features, including a “Report” button for users to report inappropriate behavior, as well as an age restriction policy and content moderation guidelines.

In 2019, Kik Interactive announced that it would be shutting down the Kik Messenger app in order to focus on its cryptocurrency project, Kin. However, the app was acquired by a different company and continues to be available for download and use.

No information contained on DMR should be relied upon to make investment decisions. Basically, this is the best I can find and I don’t guarantee anything to be 100%.
