Kik does not see or store chats between users.
For parents who want to keep tabs on their children’s activities through Kik, Kik advises them to monitor activity from their child’s device as opposed to using their own or any other external device as Kik doesn’t share chat content across devices That’s because Kik’s privacy features will automatically clear their chat history. If the teen has reset their Kik account, parents may be able to find their username on the login screen. Kik usernames do not have spaces and can mix upper and lower case letters, numbers, and special characters. If you chat with your teen from your own device, it’s easy to see their username from the chat.Tap the icon at the top of the screen to open the settings, where you can see both the teen’s username and bold-faced display name.A teen’s username is available from their smartphone by launching Kik, which opens the app to the main chats list.Parents need to know their child’s username and the email address they used to register for the account. Remove or uninstall the app from your phone, just as you would any other app.ĭeactivating a teen’s account means it will no longer be searchable within Kik, and the account will be deleted from the Kik contacts lists of all the teen’s chat companions.Anyone else searching for your username won’t find you.If you or someone you know has searched for or sent messages to your account, your profile will be cached on their device, so it may take a few days to disappear off their device.Kik will send you an email with a link to permanently deactivate your account.Enter the correct information on Kik’s permanent deactivation website.Make sure you know the email address you used to sign up for the service.To permanently deactivate your Kik account, click this link to get an email sent to you. If you ever want to use the service in the future, you’ll have to sign up again with a different email address. Once you permanently deactivate or delete your account, you’ll no longer be able to log back in or access contact information or message history. No one will be able to search for you on the platform and your username and profile will be forever expunged from your friends’ contact lists. You will not receive messages or get emails from Kik ever again. Permanent deactivation means deleting a Kik account forever.
