Kik Messenger Program Review Great

Team info
Description Both sender and receiver must have installed this app and have each other as contacts in their cellphones to make use of it, although Kik works on almost any smartphone. An "S" on a message suggests it's been sent, "D" means delivered, and "R" appears next to a message when it's been opened. There is no limit to how many characters per message, and photographs can be shot directly from inside the app. Some abilities, however, including the video, sketchpad, along with other features which are promoted as routine tools are really other programs that can be utilized via Kik, plus they've distinct rules and charges for premium services.

Violence

No violent content in the app itself, but teenagers can send and get videos, pictures, voice messages, and unmonitored texts.

Sex

No sexual content in the app itself, but teens can send and receive unmonitored texts, photographs, voice messages, and videos.

Language

No iffy language in the program itself, but teens can send and get photographs track texts, voice messages, and videos.

Consumerism

Kik Messenger is free, but many of the Kik-enabled apps that are promoted as Kik characteristics - like video maker, the sketch pad, and a file -sending program - market a paid premium variant or feature ads. Kik's ability to link these other Kik-enabled apps within itself is a way to drive "program adoption" (purchases) from its users for developers. Teenagers are supported to permit messages to be sent to everyone within their cellphone's address book about becoming a member of the service, since users can only message those who additionally have this app upon registering.

& smoking, drinking, drugs

No content associated with medications, drinking, or smoking in the app itself, but adolescents can send and get videos, photographs, voice messages, and track texts.

Parents Should Understand

Parents should know that Kik Messenger is a program-established a social media program for smartphones together with option to conventional texting. It has some possible disadvantages but also some cool features for security and privacy. Kik users can download other apps with increased features, for example a sketchpad plus video, to be used on Kik, and users can see if their messages are read by the recipients, which can be a nice touch. That said, Kik should exclusively be used by adolescents who are able to identify the difference between texting people individually, with groups, and within a social media environment. This multi-feature (read: potentially more strategies to get into trouble) tool is for mature teenagers and adults who'll utilize it to communicate with family and friends, to utilize the features on a few of the other cool Kik-enabled programs (like the video camera, document share, sketchpad, and greeting cards), and who is not going to give out private info to Kik users they don't understand or indiscriminately pay for superior features on other Kik-enabled apps. Kik definitely adds a kick to "old fashioned texting," but adolescents need some guidance on safety and seclusion when they're likely to use it.
