What is Kik Messenger? WhatsApp alternative in check
WhatsApp is undoubtedly leading the messenger market, but there are still significant alternatives. We will explain what Kik is and where the advantages and disadvantages lie in the next practical tip.
WhatsApp alternatives: Kik Messenger - what is it?
- The Messenger Kik is - like WhatsApp - a smartphone app that you can use to communicate with friends and acquaintances.
- In the chats you can send texts and pictures, among other things. A sound recording, such as that available on WhatsApp, has not yet been integrated.
- Kik has no major differences from other known messengers when it comes to chatting. However, one notable difference is that you can add friends to a chat using your Kik username.
- Unlike WhatsApp, your phone number is not used. This fact also makes it possible for you to be able to use Kik via an emulator on the PC.
- When it comes to the security of your data, Kik can also be compared to other messengers and is generally considered to be secure.
- Conclusion: The Kik Messenger can certainly compete with other apps. However, if you are a WhatsApp user, you will miss some features. In addition, the Messenger is rather unknown and is therefore only used by a few people at the moment. The positive anonymity, however, is achieved by logging in only with a user name and not with your telephone number.
