What is Kik and how does it work?

With only a username as an ID, Kik lets you exchange messages, photos, videos, sketches, stickers, mobile webpages, emoji, and other content with others on the platform. They cant see your email address, phone number, or birthday, though within a Kik group, everyone can see your username.
