How Can You Create Your Own Kik Chat Room
Starting your own group chat on Kik could not be easier. Everyone can do as long as they are a Kik Messenger user. That is absolutely all it takes to start your own group. All you need to do is to follow a few simple steps:
- Grab your smart phone or mobile device: his could be your iPod, iPhone, or Android device.
- Head over to the Kik Messenger app. Ensure you have the latest version of the Kik Messenger app.
- Go to the main chats list. If you have an iOS device, like an iPod or an iPhone, tap on the “talk to” icon located in the top right area of your screen. If you have an Android device, then tap on the “talk to” icon located in the bottom right area of your screen.
- Choose “select a group” from all the available options.
- If you wish to invite any of your Kik Messenger friends to your newly created group, just tap on their names. Every time you tap on a user name that friend will be added to your group automatically. The users will then be part of your group and will remain so unless they manually remove themselves from it. Users will not be notified that they have been added to a chat group or chat room. They will only know when they check the Kik Messenger app and find themselves as part of a group. It is up to you to just add them but if you do not want to surprise them, you may want to warn them first that you intend to add them to a group.
- If you want, you can set up a name and/or a picture to identify your newly created chat room. You do not need to do this at all but it might be a good idea to, at least, give the group a name to avoid confusion. Remember that some users may belong to many different chat groups at the same time so it may clearer if you assign your group chats with different names, perhaps indicating the nature of the specific chat room.
- Once you have finished setting up the group, all you will need to do is to tap on the “start” icon located in the top right corner of your screen.
Once your group chat or chat room has been created, it is up to you to manage it. You can add any friends you want to at any time by using their user names. If you would like to add new Kik Messenger friends to your Kik group chat room, all you will need to do is to follow these steps:
- Grab your smart phone or mobile device.
- Head over to the Kik Messenger app.
- Open the group chat you would like to add new friends to.
- Locate the “info” icon in the top right corner of the screen and tap it.
- Then tap the “add” icon in order to add a friend or several friends to your group chat.
- Then, select the username or names of the friend or friends that you would like to add to your chat group.
- Once you are done add Kik Messenger friends to chat room, just tap on the “done” icon located in the top right corner of your screen.
Adding your existing friends may not always be the best way to go about making a Kik chat room exciting. If you want to have other Kik users, people with whom you may have not chatted yet, there are two main ways to go about this.
Both ways involved advertising your Kik Messenger group chat on social media. If you have an social media account on one or more of the following social networks you will be able to “recruit” new people for your group chat:
If you tell your social media friends and followers that you have a Kik group chat going, you would be surprised how many people will join in. To increase your chances, it is advisable that you use hash tags to attract more attention. If your Kik chat room has a specific purpose or focus do not forget to include that on your social media posts about it. Also, if you want to have some form of control over who joins in your chat room, you could ask people to send you their user names privately or add them to your post. That way it would be up to you who you decide to add to your Kik group chat room.
If you are less precious about who joins in your group, the best way to easily advertise your Kik Messenger group chat room would be to use a Kik code. There are just a few simple steps for you to follow in order to share your group chat room’s Kik code:
- Grab your smart phone or mobile device.
- Head over to the Kik Messenger app.
- Open the group chat you would like to share the Kik code of.
- Then, tap pn the “info” icon located in the top right corner area of your screen.
- From all the different choices available, just tap on the “show Kik code’ one.
- Then, from the different choices that will display, tap on the “share” icon also located in the top right corner area of your screen.
- All that will be left to do is to ask your friends or social media followers to scan the Kik code in order to join your group chat. You can always include the Kik code on your social media postings to make it easier for others to join your groups.
Sharing the Kik code for a group chat that you have created will mean that anybody who finds it out there will be able to join in as long as they too, of course, use Kik Messenger.
If creating your own chat room on Kik Messenger and then trying to find people to join in sounds like far too much hard work for you, you could instead just find the best Kik groups out there and join in yourself.
What Are the Best Kik Chat Rooms?
“Too much agreement kills the chat.”- Eldridge Cleaver
If you are reading this article, you are probably wondering what are the best Kik chat rooms and how you could go about finding them.
Well, we have good news and bad news for you. The good news is that they are plenty of excellent chat groups or chat rooms on Kik Messenger waiting for you to join them and start exchanging text messages or picture messages. The bas news is that, very often, those groups do not remain active for too long.
Because all Kik chat rooms are created by individual users, they only last for as long as there are people actively using them. This makes it impossible for us to give you a list of the best Kik chat rooms. What may be a great group right now, may not even be up and running anymore by the time you read this and try to join it.
So, instead of giving you a list of Kik chat rooms that would most probably be obsolete very quickly, we are going to give you a list of characteristics shared by the best chat rooms:
- The best Kik chat rooms have a specific theme: be it sports, movies, dating, etc. The best Kik chat rooms keep the focus tight.
- The best Kik chat rooms are friendly and welcoming.
- The best Kik chat rooms are kept alive by users constantly contributing.
- The best Kik chat rooms are those that include a variety of users so different views can be shared.
So, while there is no way of making a list of the best Kik chat rooms available, there are ways of identifying the best ones. The first sign of a good chat room is that it is alive (i.e., that members keep chatting). If no one is chatting, you may still want to join if you see that the group is recent.
But, if you cannot find a chat room that suits your needs, then why not create your own one following our guidelines?
