If you enjoy texting with your friends but don’t want to pay annoying overage fees, then you have probably already downloaded an app that let’s you text completely for free. One of those apps is Kik, a great and easy to use app that has a ton of features and lets you chat with anyone around the world completely free. For Kik tips to use the app on your computer we recommend Kik Login Online.
Whether you’re new to Kik or have used it for a while, I’ll show you the best Kik secrets so that you can impress your friends and tricks to use the app easier. Including how to use Kik Messenger on your PC so you can chat any and everywhere.
Often times, developers of apps will include little secrets in their app that you have to either stumble on or know beforehand to make it work. That ‘s where I come in. I’ve done all the research to find those little tricks you never thought of that can make the app more fun to use.
Are you new to Kik? If so, I’ll go into a bit of detail about the app, it’s features and what people can use it for. I’ll also chat a bit about the name and where it came from.
What is Kik?
If you’ve heard of WhatsApp, WeChat, Line, Viber, etc. you know the primary concept of Kik and what it can do. Kik allows you to send text messages, video, sketches, images, etc. all through your local WiFi connection or your cellular data. That way you don’t have to use your text messages in your cell phone plan and risk going over your allotment per month.
One of the differences compared to WhatsApp is that you use a Kik username instead of using your cell phone number. That way you don’t have to give your cell number to someone you just met on Kik. Another great feature of Kik that sets it apart from other similar apps is that it has a built in web browser so you can go to websites and check Facebook and Twitter all while you’re in the Kik app. This let’s you do a ton more without leaving the app.
You can also see if your messages are sent, delivered, and read so that you can tell if someone is ignoring you or just hasn’t seen your message yet. If you haven’t downloaded Kik yet, you can head over to your smartphone’s app store and search for Kik. Tap the download button and from there you will need to enter in your name, username, phone number, and a password of your choosing. Presently, there is no desktop version of the app, but we have a workaround for that, if you would prefer to do your messaging from your computer when you’re at home.
Kik Secrets of 2014
Let’s not hold you up any longer and jump straight into the secrets and the various tips to help you use Kik a little bit better. Remember, Kik is constantly updating their app so more Kik secrets might show up after an update or some might be disabled. I’ll try to update you if that’s the case. Let us know in the comments below if any of these don’t work for you.
Kik Secret 1: Read Messages Without Showing “R”
One of the annoying things about Kik is that it constantly sends read receipts so that people know if you’ve read their message and have chosen not to respond. Sometimes you’re busy and can quickly glance at a message but don’t want to take the time to answer it. Also, there are some people who are annoying and won’t leave you alone and even if you read their message you don’t want to tell them that and have them get upset that you haven’t responded.
With this secret you can trick Kik into not showing the “R” but only showing the “D” that the message has been sent but never read (even when you read it).
Say a friend texts you on Kik and you want to read it but not show that you’ve read it. There are two options that I know of to “secretly” read the message.
1. Say you just got a message from a friend that you want to read. If you’re on an iPhone you can double click the home key which will change the screen to show screenshots of all your apps open so that you can close them. This will give you a screenshot of the app and show the message. After you read the message just tap the home button again to get out of Kik without ever showing that you read the message.
2. The second way is after receiving a message turn on airplane mode. Then open the Kik app and read the message. You will then want to get out of the app and you can then turn airplane mode off and it won’t show that you’ve read the message. You can see verification of this technique below where I sent myself a test text on Kik and it still displays “D” not “R” for the second text. I wasn’t quick enough getting out of the app when texting myself the firs time, hence why that didn’t work. But that won’t be an issue if someone else texts you.
Kik Secret 2: Kik Logo In Messages
One of the cool hidden secrets in Kik is that you can text the logo to your friends. This is because Kik has gone into their app and enabled an emoji of their logo for its users to use. This makes sense as it helps promote their brand and is a cool feature that most people try at least once when they figure it out. To do it, follow these steps:
- First, open Kik and open a conversation. If you want to use an existing conversation that’s fine, or you can create a new conversation with yourself to test it out. To do that, simply type in your username into the Kik search feature, find yourself and tap to start a chat.
- Now you will want to type in this exactly without the quotation marks “(KIK)” into the text box. You won’t see it change and won’t be sure it works until you hit send.
- Now tap the send button and you will notice that it didn’t send (KIK) but it sent the actual Kik logo.
As you can see above it send the Kik symbol instead of the actual word. This is a cool little secret you can use with your friends.
Kik Secret 3: Trick People Into Thinking You’re Typing On Kik
The next Kik secret is a way to trick your friends into thinking you’re typing a message to them when you’re really not. You may not already know but when you’re in a conversation on Kik you can look at the top and it will show the name of the person you’re chatting with. When that person is typing it will show that they are. For instance, if you’re texting with John Smith and John starts typing a response to your text, it will show as “John is typing…” at the top.
Now comes for this great secret. It’s pretty simple, you’re going to change your display name. Note, you cannot change your username ever but you can change your display name whenever you want. Just follow these steps:
- Open the Kik app and tap on settings.
- Tap on “Your Account”
- select Name and change your last name to “is typing…” without the quotation marks.
Now, whenever someone is chatting with you on Kik they will think you’re constantly typing and will be super confused. You can always change your name back to your original name if you get tired of it.
Kik Secret 4: Check Whether Kik Image Is Real
Unfortunately, Kik is too commonly used by creeps trying to chat with girls and get them to send inappropriate photos. The fact that Kik uses usernames and not phone numbers makes this even easier as there is hardly any way to verify for certain the person is who they say they are.
For instance, you could know someone, let’s say John Smith, from class and want to chat with him. You look up his name and find a John Smith and are pretty sure it’s him but aren’t sure. A lot of times people will ask for someone to send them a photo to verify they are who they say. However, it’s all too easy to take a photo online and use it to trick people into thinking it’s themselves. That’s where this awesomely useful tool comes into play.
The tool is called TinEye, which allows you to upload any photo and TinEye will search literally billions of photos to see if there are any duplicate photos. That way you can ask for a photo of the person on Kik and run it through this tool to see if they just downloaded it or took a screenshot from the web. If you find the image is used elsewhere that is not associated with their Facebook account or other social profile, then you know they are faking.
Beware that some people are really good at creating fake and misleading accounts so if you’re still unsure, best bet is to not talk with the person and block them. If you know them in real life, ask for their username in real life and make sure you never give out personal information such as your last name, where you live, cell phone number, etc.
Kik Secret 5: Download Kik for PC
This Kik secret will allow you to use Kik on your PC or Mac anytime and anywhere you want. It only takes about 10 minutes to set up and is completely free. You will want to follow the steps below to download and install an Android emulator. The most popular emulator is BlueStacks, however you can use any number of other emulators out there, just search for Android emulator in Google.
- First, head over to bluestacks and download the respective app for PC or Mac depending on whichever computer platform you use.
- Now, once you have BlueStacks downloaded, install it and go through the setup process.
- You will need to sync your Google Play account with BlueStacks so you can download the Kik apk onto your computer. Click on the 1 click sync button and go through the sync process by logging in to your Google account.
- If you already have Kik on your Google account it may automatically download and sync your account. If not, click the search icon at the top right and search for Kik.
- Download Kik and login using your username and password.
Now you will be able to use Kik on your PC and continue your conversation from your iPhone or Android onto your computer. It comes in handy if you’re at work or somewhere that you need to be on a computer but it’s not convenient to use your phone.

Kik Secrets of 2015
I’ve compiled some of the best Kik secrets of 2015 so that you can stay up to date on the very best features and tricks that Kik has to offer. Let us know if you found any other great secrets that will help you be able to use the app even better. We’re happy to hear about your favorite new tricks.
- You can now access any website through your Kik built in browser. You may have not realized but now Kik allows you to use their built in browser and see any site that your friends text you. You won’t need to leave the app to surf the web and view that new awesome video or picture your friend just sent you.
- In 2015 now you can send previously recorded videos right in your Kik app just by tapping on the little plus symbol on the text bar and choosing the video you want to send. This allows you to continue your conversation and add a bit of fun to it via a silly video.
- Kik realized that smileys are super popular among their users and therefore allowed users to now create their very own smileys. You can design your very own set of Kik smileys and submit them on the Kik site. If you are selected, the app will feature your smileys with recognition and honors going to you. Pretty awesome way to get your art out to the public!
- On top of sharing old archived videos you can also share Kik videos that are taken right in the Kik Messenger app. It will record videos up to 15 seconds long and you can send them via chat messages and view them in full resolution.
- Kik Messenger now has over 200 million users worldwide and is one of the fastest growing social media apps in the world. You may not realize this but on average Kik users spend 35 minutes per session using the app, which is one of the longest, just under 37 minutes for Facebook per session. This just goes to show how popular the app is and how much people love it. Also, Kik leads users in ages 14 to 20 over all other apps according to Magid Associates study. This has caused concern from a number of different social media apps including Snapchat, Twitter, Instagram and Facebook.
Kik Secrets of 2016
We’re back again, and it’s been another fantastic year for Kik Messenger. We haven’t exactly seen a huge explosion of new features, but those we have seen are fantastic, and the Kik development team has poised their app right on the cusp of the mobile messaging future. Furthermore, Kik’s new additions continue to set it apart in an increasingly crowded field of messaging apps that are all struggling to both share the same, in-demand features, but also differentiate themselves in unique ways. The transition from 2015 into 2016 has been all about innovation, and this is evident in what we’ve seen of Kik’s growth.
- All of the buzz in the mobile tech industry in the first quarter of 2016 has been bots. They’re everywhere, and though these automated, simply-coded programs have been out and about the internet for quite a while already, several tech innovators are thinking of ways that they’ll be used to revolutionize the way that we use messaging apps. Guess what? Kik messenger is among them. Kik has long been a host to convenient bot programs that eager chatters can talk to, and now that they’re set to make such a profound impact, it’s going to be exciting to see what comes next. Take a look at the Kik bot shop and start perusing some of the new offerings! If you’re still not sure about this “whole bot thing,” take a look at the Kik blog!
- Though it came at the tail-end of 2015, we’re going to call Kik’s GIF Keyboard a new innovation, simply because it’s taken Kik’s users a little while to grow into it. Now that they have, we’re seeing GIF images pop up in chats left and right, simply because the new feature is so remarkably simple to use. The GIF Keyboard is only a tap away from the main chat window, and will allow you to search the web for popular means and animated images to better compliment your messages.
- In 2015, we saw the addition of themed Smileys to the Kik app. They were such a hit, that we now have the Smiley Locker, which allows you to store, share, and measure the rarity of Kik content. With Kik Points being redeemed in the millions, it’s no surprise that users are clamoring for ways to further use the items that they’ve purchased. The Locker will tell you how rare your particular smileys are, and also allow you to keep easy access to all of them.
2016 is frequently touted as “the year of the chat” in tech circles, simply because bots and other innovations are allowing us to rethink the boundaries of what we can do in a chat app. Stay tuned to Appamatix for more cool updates and useful tech-related tips!

Another secret I’ve stumbled upon but don’t know how to unlock is kik bootleg emojis. They can only be found by someone using them and I am unsure how to unlock them
Lmao I remember when I randomly discovered that typing “D:” gets you an extra emote
I found it very risky to be very honest.
Check to see what their username is. For example, the word “pillow”. You would assume I used the letters LL in that word. However, I could of used the letter i. A lowercase ” L ” and capital ” i ” look exactly the same. Your friend might be using different letters in his username to confuse you. Try to find every variation.
Okay that exact problem is happening to me! It kept saying start chat and I did and it said it again and I was confused so I searched for a Kik website and came to this, I’m really not sure maybe it’s a glitch.
I need some help. It’s a long story, but this person lied to me. & all I have is his Twitter username & Kik username . Can someone please help me?!?!? I just want to know who I was REALLY talking to.
I would highly recommend reporting the user: https://kikinteractive.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/217680878-I-m-being-harassed-on-Kik-What-can-I-do-
There was a situation that we decided to take to the police. We asked for as much information as we could and got enough to report them. I feel as if contacting kik directly to report them will just put them in a pile that they might go through. We used the authorities as an alternative to get kik to respond to the situation a lot faster.
Good point, I’m glad you were able to get help!
Hi. I just downloaded this app and two contacts appeared on my list but they are one initial. How do I know who these people are?
Hi,
I was wondering if someone could help me out as I am freaked. I got a new chat from someone and I stupidly accepted the chat. they didn’t have a picture and they keep messaging saying they know my secret etc. They are displaying a name but no picture. When I click on where the picture should be it is not displaying there profile. If i search for the displayed name I cant find them? I know I could just block but its driving me made and I was wondering if I could find out who this is ?
I’ll help
my kik is on s its been on there for like 2 hours I was having a conversation with someone then it went to s and stayed
Trevor… I’d like to advertise on your website. How can I get in touch with you?
I wasn’t on kik for a while, and I got an e-mail saying that I had unread conversations, but when I checked it, I had no conversations. What happened?
Usually, when you log out of kik all of your messages get deleted. So the next time you log on, you probably wouldn’t have any messages, only blank group chats if you were in one. So, maybe that’s why you had no messages.
Same here
You probably blocked them
I had messaged a friend on Kik, It was at the S for a few days then recently went back to D, is this a glitch? Or is the person having connection issues? Also when they replied to me the D was still there, or could they have put their phone on airplane mode for it to go back to D?
The standard message goes from S for sent to D for delivered so that’s not unusual that it went from S and then turned to D. Basically that means it went from the Kik severs and was delivered to the person’s phone so it’s not a glitch. When the person saw the message it should have turned from a light D to a darker colored D. However, when they replied it should have switched to an R for replied. But the good news is that your friend does seem to be getting your messages.
I thought they blocked me at first when the S went back to D. So it does that sometimes?
It is normal to go from S to D when sending a message. The S means it was sent from your phone to the Kik servers and the D means it was delivered from the Kik servers to the recipients phone.
Thanks for clearing this up for me, Trevor.
People use mods for kik
No problem!
I was just confused because before when you send a message, it will show the D and when it was recieved the S. SO if they block you, it will stay on S and never go to D or R?
My friend hasn’t replied yet for five days already. And now, I tried to send a message but it said “Oops, it looks like ___’s phone has been off/disconnected for a while…..” and my message just showed an s beside it. Even the message I sent him 5 days ago wherein the “oops” thing-y wasn’t popping out yet, it has an s beside it. What does it mean? Could it be that he blocked me or he deleted his kik account or uninstalled the app?
The ‘s’ means the message was sent through the Kik servers but was never delivered since there is no ‘d’ code. If someone is blocked they will see a light ‘d’ meaning the message was delivered but the app was never opened. Therefore, they he did not block you but in fact deleted the account since Kik isn’t able to deliver the message at all. Hopefully you have another way to contact him!
So I have some messages that have been sent as delivered. But they are a faded grey D with a check mark beside them. I have heard this means the app hasn’t been opened. But is it possible I have been blocked?
Yep, it’s possible. If you were blocked then the person would never read the message and it would never to to an “r” instead of a “d” for delivered. There’s really no way to know if they simply haven’t looked at the app in a while or if you’ve been blocked.
On my kindle I went to Kik and I click on a conversation the users picture did not show up so I don’t know who texted me so how do I see there picture?
Just look at their name. It may be that they don’t have a profile picture so you can’t see anything.
I have a friend, i messaged him but it turns out that his deviced is off and deactivated, but when I asked my other friend if she still chatting with my friend she said that Yes! How did he do that? Did he blocked me or soemthing, I messaged him with my 3 accounts, but it’s all the same .
He maybe changed his Kik username or created a new account and is messaging your friend on that new account? Or, he may have blocked you, which there’s no real good way to know for sure if someone blocked you.
Nope he didn’t, he’s still chatting my friend with his old account. Is it possible?
He is using mods
I think he might have read your message but just ignoring u
what if it says that the phone is been off or discconected for a while ..but the messege i send says read …
What says the phone has been off or disconnected? They could always just login to Kik on another device and then read the message.
Someone sent me a meassage yesterday as I noticed the banner notification on my homescreen. I did not open the Kik App at first, but I turned on Airplane Mode, then opened the Kik App. To my surprise the entire conversation, including the user was entirely deleted. I cannot even find this user again under search! This person was the only contact I had on Kik but even the Kik messenger message was gone.
It could have been that the person deleted their account after sending you a message and thus when you turned Airplane mode off you weren’t able to find them anymore. It could have been a fake account or someone trying to play a trick
I sent my friend a few messages and they all showed as D and he replied to it and its still as D. what does that mean?
I sent a message to my friend and it said s for about two hours then went to a dark d. If its dark d he opened the kik acount but didnt respond to me. Has he blocked me?
Mods
That sounds like a glitch in the message receipts. Did your friend specifically see those messages? have you asked him if he saw the messages that show up as D? If so, it must just be a glitch in the system as it should show up as an S.
Just a question…is there a way to see what time a message was sent?
Yes, if you tap on the message it should show when it was sent.
I have a trick for kik there’s a secret emoji that’s not on the kik smileys all u do is D: and a face will pop up wen you send it
I just tried it, super cool. Thanks for sharing the trick!
if u go back to your kik convos to check or read previous messages can the person who u were texting see????the one whose convo ur reading
No, the person won’t be able to see your conversation or who you’re talking to.
Ok so I sent a screenshot of an Instagram photo and I didn’t mean to so I turned on airplane mode and it says it’s sent but the circle is still spinning on the picture???
My guess is that as soon as you turn airplane mode off and your cellular data kicks in that it would send the photo. It may not, but that definitely could happen. You may need to delete the app and reinstall the app just to be safe.
For airplane mode, do you have to completely be exited out of the app(not just exit to home) before you turn airplane mode on and then open the app and read the message?
Yes, you must be completely exited out of the Kik app before you turn airplane mode on.
I noticed there’s to types of Ds on the kick app one that fully shaded in and one that’s kinda faded away what does it mean
When you see a faded D that means the message notification was sent to the other person. The dark D means the person has opened the app but not yet read your message. At the point they read your message it will turn to an R.
is there anyway to tell if someone who blocked you , then unblocked you? for example: before it was always a light D but then all at once messages went dark. Then new messages were light again and in a different amount of time, went dark. Is this a sign of blocked / unblocked
No, Kik doesn’t ever let the person know who has been blocked. There really isn’t any way to know for sure unless you ask the person if they blocked you, which would be pretty awkward!
thats what im asking cause mine that i send some one are not fully dark then all of a suddenly they will be dark
Going from light D to dark D simply means the person has opened the Kik app but not yet seen your message. If they blocked you on Kik then you would notice the dark D never turns to an R.
similarly then would turn to s. “sorry this person hasn’t connected / phones off for awhile well deliver when phone is reconnected” days later to a D , light to dark , and again light to dark
On Kik if you’ve been blocked say by Ashley, and you send Ashley a message the indicator will turn to a dark D as in delivered but never to an R for read because Ashley would have already blocked you.
Why would messages even go from a light d to a dark d at all if I’ve been blocked by this person?!
It does that if the person you’re messaging has an iPhone or Windows phone is what I read on the Kik forum for Yahoo.
That’s just how Kik works, it will show that the message has been delivered but on the app side it will automatically hide / delete the message if you’ve been blocked. Here is the Kik article explaining it: https://kikinteractive.zendesk.com/entries/23482802-How-do-I-know-if-I-ve-been-blocked-
My kik messages went from dark D to A light D and an S, is this a glitch?
Yes, this seems like a glitch. I’ve never heard of it going backward in notifications. It may also be if you lost internet connection while it was being sent and then got internet connection again. That may have messed up the order that you received the notifications of the dark D, light D, then S.
Let me know if it continues to happen, I’m curious to see if it will just fix itself
Thanks, apparently it was a glitch and the person I texted received it.
That makes sense, I’m glad it worked out.
On some of my friends accounts, when I want to look at their profile pics and I click on it to make it bigger, its a completely different picture. How do you do this?
That usually happens to me and it only causes when the other person changes their profile picture, so close the kik application and open it again. Once their picture loads it should be their updated profile picture.
Nice solution
My guess is that the smaller profile pic hasn’t propagated yet. Typically when you first click the profile pic it should just enlarge the original pic. My guess is this may be a glitch.
How do I get people that I’ve deleted from my kik contacts but don’t know their username ?
Allow Kik to access your contacts or search for the person. You’ll have to have some sort of identifying information, though.
I’m surprised they didn’t mention the extra emoticon if you type D: in the text field. It’s not on the selection page and has no alternate purchasable counterparts like Bernard and Sloth. If anyone knows if there’s any others please let me know.
How do you figure out who the user is in real life if all their info is made up? Please help this is urgent
I recommend not chatting with someone if you have the slightest inkling that they are not who they say they are. However, you can try to video chat with them to make sure they look like what they say. Also, you could try to look the person up on Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, etc. to verify their identity.
okay but the username is fire fly and the profile name is firefly115, there is no profile pic, all i know is that she speaks telugu and that she is a female around the age of 30-46 there is no other info on her profile
Within Kik there’s no other way of finding information on someone besides what’s given in their profile.
Try chatting with her and ask for more information but make sure you verify through something or video chat.
Oh..okay thank you so much
So if u want to text a friend or a family member or a boyfriend or girl friend so their phone is off how are they able to see what the texted
They would have to turn their phone back on to see the text on Kik. They obviously can’t see it if their phone is turned off.
What does the light faded D mean?
Here’s from the Kik website:
A faded D appears next to messages sent to iPhones and Windows Phones. It means that we have sent the push notification of your message to the recipient but they haven’t opened the app to receive the message on their phone. Once they open the app, you will see a solid D.
For trick 3, when the person you are chatting with is typing, it will say “(first name) is typing…” but “is typing” is in a lighter shade of grey than their first name, so anyone who has been on kik before should notice that it looks different. (At least that appears on the Android model, with the most recent update in June, 2015. I am unsure if the Apple model does this.)
You’re right people may notice the difference but the slight difference in shades of grey could be easy to miss so people wouldn’t always notice unless their paying attention.
If I send a vedio to someone , then after sending it I block them would it remove the whole conversation we had or vedio ?
No, Kik retains all of the previous conversations unless the other person deletes it. So they would still have the video unfortunately.
Do you maybe know how to send a picture so it looks like it came from the kik camera, although actually came from gallery?
You shouldn’t try to deceive people in that way.
How can I stop messages being delivered to my phone without logging out? I want it to read is S on the senders end not D. Even when notifications are turned off it still delivers.
The S denotes the message was sent from the phone to the Kik server. The D denotes the message was sent from the Kik server to the recipients phone. Therefore, the only way to stop it from turning from S to D is to turn off your cellular data and WiFi, i.e. Airplane mode.
If i make a group of three people and i send a message.. How to know that who has read that message and who had not?
I believe it will send a read receipt if only one of the other two people read it. You could verify it by finding two other people with Kik on their phones and making an experiment where you test it.
I was speaking to someone on kik, by mistake I deleted the conversation, even from the “in conversation, as I had two with similar nick names. I forgot the nick of the person who I was speaking too, is there a way to find out, without the other person having to send me a message
If the other person is not in your contacts list and you deleted the message there really isn’t any way to find them beyond using the basic search. Do you remember their username or real name?
If it says the photo was taken with the Kik camera, it’s real. If it says that it’s from the gallery, your might want to double check.
Actually, there is a way to make photos from gallery seem as if they were taken with the Kik camera, and its gotten quite popular. Only way to really see is asking them to send a photo doing a sign or something.
Or ask the person to do a live video chat with you using FaceTime or Google Hangouts. That way you know for sure they are who they say they are.
Good point, it’s easy to just choose any photo from a gallery and claim it is real. It’s always good to have a bunch of evidence someone is real on Kik.
If you log into kik on the computer will it sign you out of kik on your phone ?
Unfortunately it will so you will have to login to Kik each time you want to use it on a different device.
Hey there just a question, when it comes to your contacts list, is Kik like a phone or Skype in the sense that other users cannot see your contacts list, or is it like Facebook where you CAN see a user’s other contacts?? Thanks 🙂
You won’t be able to see other people’s contact list if you’re friends with someone. The only way to view their contact list is if you see their profile when they’re logged in.
My friend doesn’t has his phone activated. All he uses it for is the wifi and he refuses to have any online accounts right now. Would they still be able to use kik even tho they can’t text or call anyone with their phone?
Yes definitely, that’s one of the upsides of Kik. You can use it completely online over WiFi. All he has to do is download the app and sign up.
When I send a Kik to some phones, the light d changes to a dark d when the person opens Kik, but if someone blocked me, would it stay light?
My guess is that it would turn to a dark D, but not sure about this. You could test it with another friend that has Kik to see for sure
When I send my message, sometimes there’s a light D and sometimes it’s a darker D….
What does the light D mean?
This is from the Kik website:
A faded D appears next to messages sent to iPhones and Windows Phones. It means that we have sent the push notification of your message to the recipient but they haven’t opened the app to receive the message on their phone. Once they open the app, you will see a solid D.
Will the person know if i screen shot text or images of there’s? will they be notified ? (iphone)
Yes, they will see a symbol with two arrows indicating you took a snapshot. They may not know what the screenshot symbol is or miss it. Also, it seems like that notification doesn’t always work and sometimes doesn’t capture that you’ve taken a screenshot.
How do I know if someone has blocked me because it says delivered but wasn’t read and that person has a conversation with my other friends so did that person block me or is he just not reading my texts
Create a public group on Kik then add the people you think has blocked you, if Kik says you can’t add the user in the group, this means he has blocked you or probably stopped the conversation.
Clever work around, I’ll have to try it.
I don’t think there is a way to know if he’s reading your text or if he’s blocked you, either way it would say delivered but not read. Either way, it looks like he’s not interested in chatting with you.
How do I find out if the person has deactivated her account? She was in my contacts then suddenly she isn’t anymore, I never removed her.
She blocked you
Try to search for their username. If it doesn’t show up then they probably deactivated their account.
whats the secret text symbols to having no name on kik?
I haven’t heard that one before. Let us know if you figure out how to do it!
You use unlisted characters
Hey. Do u know if you’ve sent a message but then been logged out causing the convo to b deleted, is the message still sent to the recipients kik address?
Yes, the message should still have been sent as long as you kept logged in long enough for the message to be sent from your phone to the Kik servers.
