Kik and similar applications like Whatsapp allow users to send secure messages over the internet. Kik does not track the content of messages or the phone numbers of users, making it difficult for police to find identifying information in child pornography cases.

Does Kik track IP?

Kik doesnt see or store chat message text in our systems, and we dont ever have access to this information. Available information might include first and last name, email address, IP addresses, account creation date, and device type and manufacturer.
