Great messenger app

Solid app, been using it for 2573+ days now 😅 can have multiple group chats, send gifs, pics, videos all that good stuff. There’s even chat games and bots to talks to.

The app now has ads with no way to even ‘purchase’ it out oddly which is kinda annoying but otherwise I can’t say I’ve ever had a problem with it over of the years.

Room reporting issue

As a user of Kik and a group owner, there have been several issues that have been affecting the enjoyment of your app.

1. Groups starting with numbers such as #30, #35, #40, #45 have been systematically removed from the public group search. When a group has been started, it will be in the search for a brief time before being removed. This has been very frustrating for many group owners, as we do not know what is causing the groups to be removed. Is it due to a Kik algorithm to shuffle groups? Is it because groups are being reported?

2. If a group is being reported, there should be tighter guidelines to follow in reporting. A group should not be reported at random by someone who was not a member of that specific group. The current choices for reporting a group are too vague. It is not enough to say that the group is offensive or used for abuse. The group chat history is included in each report, but does Kik support actually review each chat history to determine if the report is valid?

Thank you

Frozen App

I recently had to redownload my app and have found that it only works for a few seconds before freezing. When I first downloaded it this issue seemed to sort itself out and now it won’t. My phone has memory, the app is updated and my phone is fully updated. I have emailed kik help due to the fact that the help articles do not answer my question as to why this is happening since I have followed all the suggestions already. If this bug doesn’t get sorted I will have no choice but to stop using the app because it simply isn’t working.
