Kik brings built-in browser to mobile messaging platform

Kik Interactive has announced a new update to its Kik messaging app on mobile, bringing a built-in web browser to the platform. This browser joins the app’s current availability of HTML5-based “Cards,”, allowing users to share even more content with their friends from any website. Kik has also released a toolset to help developers optimize their own websites for the mobile web.

Using the Kik Browser, Kik users can search for a keyword like “games,” and will be shown a list of games that will work in the Kik platform, but will also be able to play games from around the internet.
