Can you logout of kik

It depends on how much you use the app and how many ongoing conversations you currently have. Do I win or do I lose? The app will save the messages on their own but if you go to logout you will loose all the messages. For iPhone : If your conversation is within the past 48 hours you can see the most recent messages in total. For Android : If your chat is within 48 hours you can see the most recent messages.

Also, the only way to download all of your messages is to jailbreak your iPhone, which I do not recommend as it opens you up to a lot more liability and viruses.

There are some days where you just feel fed up and need a break from constant messages, phone beeps, and buzzing. Keep in mind that you will need to know your password to login again once you sign out. You should report the user immediately using this Kik Reporting Page and block the user from messaging you.

TIP : Make sure you read all of your messages before signing out. You could give them your phone number so they could text you, add them on Snapchat, Facebook, Twitter, etc. That way you can continue some conversations if you want to and stop other conversations. Also, even when you have logged out of Kik, your friends can still send messages to you. But, you cannot see them until you get logged into it again. Until then, you friends will just see that the messages are sent, as marked by S, but not delivered or read by you.

So, if you are going to logout of Kik, then let your friends, who text you regularly, that you will be logged out for a while. This helps your friends, especially online made friends whom you cannot meet, to wonder where you have disappeared and why you are not replying. It also helps you in a way that when you login back, your app is not filled with a load of messages.

They will wait till you get back to Kik. One more peculiar feature of Kik messenger is that you cannot log into Kik in two separate devices, at the same time. When you login to Kik through a new device, then you are automatically logged out of Kik from your old device. Imagine how helpful is this feature, when your mobile phone is lost. Your chat history is still lost when you login from your new device. You can logout remotely and ensure that your chats are kept confidentially.

Here is the reason why Kik has this unique way to wipe out messages when you logout. When you are resetting the app, there is no way that you can get them back. So you need to take a backup of important chats using a third party app.

Even if you are not going to logout of Kik that is you have chosen to adjust the notification preferences , you can still take a back up of important messages, for anything can happen device damage and all. Permanent deactivation means deleting a Kik account forever. Once deleted, it cannot be restored.

You will not receive messages or get emails from Kik ever again. Unlike some competing apps, Kik says it does not have the ability to view written messages between users, or to show them to the police. It does not keep your chats and does not store copies of anything you send.

The Kik servers are merely message relays. If anything happens to your phone or the app is corrupted or deleted, your messages disappear.
