3 Methods to Recover Deleted Kik Message/Chats on iPhone&Android

Last Updated on December 8, 2020 by Jason Ben

Kik Messenger, usually called Kik, is a free instant messaging app for mobile users. It is available for both iOS and Android.

The good news is after such a rough run for Kik Messenger, it is still with us and will continue growing with the help of its new owner - MediaLab.

Kik is a quite old intent message app compared with WhatsApp and Facebook Messengers. It is very easy to use, You just need to register a username after installing this app on your mobile device, then you can send and receive texts, pictures, emoji, videos, sketches, and other contents by using Wi-Fi or your mobile’s data plan.

Users generate much valuable information on Kik, so, it’s a disaster if they delete some important Kik messages mistakenly. Because Kik won’t save chat history for you. And what is worse, there is no backup and restore service with Kik, so you can’t retrieve lost Kit messages back with the app itself.

However, the deleted chats are actually not permanently disappeared on your mobile device. They just become invisible to you and can be back with some outside help. Here I would like to show you 3 methods to get back the deleted Kik chat history.

#1 Ask your Friends to Send you the Deleted Kik Messages

There is a chance that your friends who you have the conversation with still keep the old chat history.

So why not contact that friend and ask him or her to send you back those messages or the screenshot of them. If your friend doesn’t have the old chats, let’s move to method 2.
