How To Join Kik Groups

Kik is an amazing platform for instant messaging and connecting amazing people all over the world. Kik Messenger is a popular messaging app that offers a fantastic way of chatting with different people. This online messaging app has millions of users around the world, you will always find someone to chat with, at any time of day and night. And here’s the method how to join the best Kik groups so you can chat all day and night.

There are really not excuses when it comes to messaging people on Kik. Not only can Kik Messenger allow you to chat with other individual users, but also if you have Kik Messenger you will be able to join group chats so that you can chat to many different users at the same time.

It is true that there are both pros and cons to using group chats on Kik Messenger. Among the pros, the obvious one is that group chats allow Kik Messenger to engage in messaging with more that one other user at the same time. How is that an advantage? You may ask. Well, in itself, this may not seem like an advantage per se but consider the following. If you have a bouch of friends on Kik Messenger that you constantly talk to about the same things, why not have them all in the same group?

If anything, this could save you a lot of time when it comes to sharing news with your Kik Messenger friends or you want to share a photo or a picture file with more than one of your Kik Messenger friends rather than direct message them one on one chat.  With group chat you can ensure that everyone you want to would get your chat messages at the same time. So, you will be saving the time it takes to type the same message as many times as Kik Messenger contacts list you have but, also, you will be ensuring that you are not missing anyone out by having previously created a group chat including exactly whomever you choose.

Of course not everything about Kik Messenger group chat is positive. But there is not anything to be afraid of, just being aware of the possible cons often suffices. In fact, there is just one possible con when it comes to using Kik Messenger group chat. The only possible con to using the Kik Messenger group chat is that you may forget who’s on your group chat and, accidentally, end up sharing something or saying something to someone you did not mean to. How big this could be as a potential problem really depends on you. All we can do about it so just give you some advice to prevent you from getting into tricky situations. Before you share anything that may be deem controversial (we would leave the definition of “controversial” to you), think twice about it.

This should apply to both individual chats or group chats. But, if you are thinking of sharing something like that on a group chat it is worth thinking about it a bit more as your chat message could potentially be seen by more people, thus magnifying any effect your words could have. So, one piece of advice would be to check who is actually a member or list of participants of your group chats before using them. Remember that any member of the group chat can add other Kik Messenger users at any given time. This means that you will not necessarily know if someone new has been added to the group chat. So, it is always worth checking the participant list to see who is currently in a group chat before you go ahead and decide to share something, which they may find controversial, offensive or which may put you into trouble.

If you decide that group chat is for you and you are interested in joining a group chat, the good news is that joining group chats is really easy. If you follow our advice you will be on more group chats than you can shake a stick at!

Before you go ahead and try to join any group chats you will need to make sure that you have the latest version of Kik Messenger on your Android phone, iPhone, or iPod.

Once you have checked that you have the latest version of Kik Messenger or downloaded on your smart phone or mobile device in case you did not have it, you can proceed with the following steps.

How Do You Start a Group Chat?

“Individual commitment to a group effort – that is what makes a team work, a company work, a society work, a civilization work.”- Vince Lombardi

1. Grab your smart phone or mobile device.
2. Head over to the Kik Messenger app.
3. Go to your main chats list.
4. If you have an iPhone or iPod, then tap on the “talk to” icon located in the top right hand side of the screen. If you have an Android device, then tap on the “talk to” icon located in the bottom right hand side of the screen.
5. Choose “start a group” from all the different options.
6. Then tap on the names of the Kik Messenger friends you would like to add to the group you are creating. You can select as many Kik users as you would like.
7. If you would like the group you are creating to have a specific name, this would be the time to do so (although you can also add or change the group chat name at a later time as often as you would like). You can also add a profile picture that will identify the group.
8. Finally, just tap on the “start” icon located in the top right corner of your screen.

Once you have created the group, you can invite any of your Kik friends using their usernames. All you need to do in order to do so is to follow these steps:

1. Grab your smart phone or mobile device.
2. Head over to the Kik Messenger app.
3. Go to the group chat.
4. Tap on the info icon located in the top right corner in your screen.
5. Then tap on the names of the friends (or friends) that you would like to add to your group.
6. Once you have added all the friends you wanted just tap on “done” (you can always add more friends later on), if you so decide).

Once you have created a Kik group chat, you can share your group’s Kik code so other users can find it easily and join in on the fun. If you would like to share your group’s Kik code, just follow these steps:

1. Grab your smart phone or mobile device.
2. Head over to the Kik Messenger app.
3. Go to the group chat.
4. Tap on the “info” icon located in the top right corner of your screen.
5. The tap on the “share” icon located in the top right corner.

Once you have followed all those steps, you can ask the friends you would like to join your group to scan the Kik code. This is, by far, the quickest way for Kik users to join group chats.

If you are sharing your group’s Kik code you need to be aware that this means that anyone will be able to see it and join your group freely. This could be a great way to see your groups grow but if you would rather keep your groups to just a few friends, you should think twice before you share the group’s Kik code.

If you still have an older version of Kik Messenger, you can still start a group chat although the steps you need to follow in order to do so will be slightly different, and you will not be able to use Kik code.

1. Grab your smart phone or mobile device.
2. Head over to the Kik Messenger app.
3. Go to your main message chats list.
4. If you have an iPod or an iPhone, then tap to 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.
5. Select “Start a Group” from all the options available.
6. Tap on the “add” icon and then select the friends you would like to add to your Kik group.
7. Finally, tap on the start or the checkmark icon located in the top right corner of your screen.

Once you have created the group, if you wish to make it public you will not be able to share a Kik code but your could use a hashtag, instead. To do so, follow these steps:

1. Toggle the group changing from “invite only” to “public”.
2. Choose any hashtag you would like for your group chat.

You can join a Kik Messenger group chat either by with the Kik Code or with the group hashtag.
