What happens when I permanently delete my Kik account?
When you permanently delete your Kik account, all of your messages, contacts, and other data associated with that account are also deleted. Your Kik username is also no longer available and cannot be used again.
In addition, if you have Kik credit, any associated tokens or digital cards will also be permanently deleted. Finally, all record of your interactions with other Kik users will also be deleted, so no one will be able to find your account data.
In short, it is as if your Kik account never existed.
How long does it take Kik to permanently delete?
Kik permanently deletes accounts within 14 days of the closure request. After the 14-day period, all user data, including messages, photos, and geolocation information previously shared, will be permanently deleted.
Note that Kik may retain certain records regarding the user’s account, such as their username and IP address, in order to comply with legal requirements. However, all of these records will be stored securely and will not be associated with any other personal information.
Additionally, once an account is deleted, it cannot be retrieved or reactivated. As such, anyone wanting to permanently delete their account should make sure to log out and disconnect any accounts linked to Kik prior to deleting their Kik account.
When you delete your Kik account does it delete your messages?
No, deleting your Kik account does not delete any of your messages. Deleting your Kik account will simply delete your profile and associated information, as well as your username. All of your messages will still be stored on the device that you used to send and receive them.
If you have backed up your messages on Kik, then they will remain backed up and will still be able to be viewed by anyone who has access to the backup. If the messages were encrypted, they will remain encrypted even if the account has been deleted.
Therefore, it is important to be aware that deleting your Kik account won’t delete your messages, and they may still be accessible to other users.
When you block someone on Kik Can they still see your messages?
No, when you block someone on Kik they cannot see your messages. The person you have blocked will no longer be able to contact you on the app and they won’t appear in your search results. Any messages that have been sent to the person you have blocked will appear as ‘Delivered’ in your conversation, however the blocked user will not be able to view them.
Blocking people on Kik also prevents them from seeing/accessing your profile and any content you have shared on the app.
Do Kik messages automatically delete?
No, Kik messages do not automatically delete. However, users can choose to delete a message by tapping on the message and selecting the “delete” option. When a message is deleted by the sender, it is only removed from the sender’s device and not other users’ devices.
While the message is still visible on other users’ devices, they cannot see that the sender has deleted it. Messages can also be set to self destruct after a user-specified time period has passed. This means that after a certain amount of time, set by the sender, the message will disappear from all users’ devices.
Can you reactivate a deleted Kik account?
Yes, it is possible to reactivate a deleted Kik account. However, the process is not direct and could be complicated. First, you will need to log back into the account or create a new one using the same username and password.
If you have previously linked your account to an email address, you can go to the Kik website to log in. Otherwise, you will need to reset your password by providing your email address. Depending on the time that has passed since you deleted your account, you may need to wait for some time for Kik to reactivate it.
Once you’re logged in, you will be able to view your messages, contacts and other information that you had before deleting the account.
Can I delete a picture I sent on Kik?
Yes, you can delete a picture you sent on Kik. To do this, first open the Kik app. Then open the chat with the person you sent the picture to and find the picture within that chat. Tap and hold on the picture and a menu will appear with the options to delete or copy the image.
Tap “delete” and the image will be removed from the chat’s messages. Additionally, you can also delete the chat entirely, which will delete all of the images associated with that chat.
Does Kik store photos?
Kik is a free messaging application available on both Android and iOS devices. The app allows users to send text, images, and videos, including photos, to their friends. However, while Kik allows users to send and receive photos, it does not store photos that are sent through the app.
When a photo is sent through Kik, the file is sent directly to the recipient over the Internet and is not stored on any of Kik’s servers. This means that once the photo is received by another user, if the sender deletes the image from their device, it is gone from Kik completely and can not be recovered.
Can Kik be traced to your phone?
In general, it is not possible to trace Kik to a phone number or IP address. Kik is a chat service that uses encryption technology to keep its users anonymous. This means that any messages sent over the service are kept private and cannot be traced back to the sender’s device.
However, depending on the user’s Kik settings, other Kik users may still be able to see some details about the user such as their username or profile picture. Additionally, Kik does not offer a way to block specific numbers or IP addresses, so any users who want to keep their identity private while using Kik must take steps to ensure their privacy.
For example, they may want to use a Virtual Private Network (VPN) when using Kik to encrypt their traffic and hide their IP address.
Does Kik tell when you screenshot?
Kik does not typically tell when you screenshot a message or image. However, depending on the device, browser, and application settings, there is a small possibility that the sender will receive a notification.
For example, if notifications are enabled, the user may receive a notification that their message has been screenshot. That said, these notifications will typically only appear when the screenshot is taken from a Kik link, as it is a system that Kik is actively monitoring.
To ensure that your screenshots do not result in a notification, it is recommended to take screenshots directly from the Kik application itself or to disable any notifications that may be enabled. Additionally, for devices using iOS 11 and later, the user can enable “Reduce Motion” to prevent inadvertent notifications.
Where does Kik save pics?
Kik automatically saves any photos or videos you send or receive in its internal photo album. Whenever you take a photo or video directly through the Kik app, it’ll be stored there too. You can access the album from the Kik main screen by tapping the camera icon in the bottom-left corner.
Other photos from your device, like from your phones camera roll, can also be saved to the album by going to the chat or group where you want to send the photo, tapping the plus sign (+) in the bottom-right corner, and tapping the album icon (a couple of pictures stacked together).
You can also delete images from the album if you no longer need them.
