Alternatives for Kik

Just to note: I merged two threads into one and edited the title slightly. Wanted to have a one-stop thread for all things kik and possible alternatives.
If you can't post and the forums are read-only, then the forums are now closed.
Come join the new unofficial Hay Day forum, we just got to 300 members! https://justhayday.boards.net/
Here's an online article I found listing five IM alternatives to Kik. Good luck.Originally Posted by Irishwolfhoundlover43

BTW, I just learned that Kik received $50 million in funding from Tencent in 2015. As some of us may remember, Tencent acquired about 84% control of Supercell in 2016 and became Supercell's parent company.

I just downloaded Telegram, as at least one hoodmate is very familiar with it. It seems quite simple, like kik. It does give you the ability to change the notification tone. And you can create groups, and change backgrounds.
Thanks to Be A Legend for the signature!
Kik was a great app, but let's face it, since they had no revenue streams it was bound to go bankrupt eventually. It wasn't fee-based or ad-based.
Kik decided to get sneaky and created Kin -- their own crypto currency. They did this solely to raise funds to keep Kik alive a bit longer. Now the FCC is on to their scheme. Kik chose to discontinue the Kik app and put any of their remaining funds to the legal battle where they hope to defend Kin as a true crypto currency rather than the funding scheme that it was.

What about good old fashioned Skype ? It doesn’t require a phone number, it’s completely anonymous and confidential and allows group chats as well as one to one messaging. You just need an email and you create your own user name.
It seems the most like kik to me - lots of the others will allow users to see your phone number (or require a number to register) and that’s a deal breaker for a lot of us.
it’s also free, but I think you might see ads now in the header but that doesn’t bother me overly as long as it’s free.
Farm name: when doves cry
level 173, town 65
