Kik Messenger updated with new tools for deciding who to connect with

Kik has released the newest version of its popular Kik Messenger app, giving users more options for controlling their conversations, and controlling who can contact them. The platform with over 120 million registered users now allows its community to easily delete, block or report an unknown contact, by creating a separate section for messages from ‘new’ users.

While the ‘Block’ feature did technically exist prior to this app update, it’s been given more prominence in this new version, as users can block unknown contacts, while also hiding messages from people they don’t know, unless they manually choose to view them.
