Kik is a messaging app that allows users to chat with friends and family by using people's names rather than their cell phone numbers.

Functionality

To register with Kik, users need to provide their names so that other users can find them. This kind of functionality provides an additional level of privacy, as you no longer need to specify personal information.

Communicating in Kik for iOS starts by clicking on the chat bubble. In the app, you can create groups of up to 50 people (invitational and public). A hashtag is available for the user to add by making a group public, and other app members can search for it and add it.

When chatting, you can see which of your friends have read the messages. Kik also allows you to play games, and share photos, stickers, videos from YouTube, skits, and memes.

Interface

Kik has a reasonably simple interface with few possible settings. The user can change the color of the chat bubbles, and the communication here is similar to traditional text messaging. The interface is easy to navigate to learn how to use the Kik app quickly.

Conclusions

Chat and play games with friends or strangers, exchange messages, create groups, and record videos in the app, sending them to your friends in Kik Messenger.
