Kik Messenger On Twitter

We live in an era dominated by social media. Like it or not this is an indisputable fact. You may be wondering what social media has to do with an instant messaging app such as Kik Messenger. In a way this article will provide a comprehensive answer to that question, but focused exclusively on the relationship between Kik Messenger and Twitter. We want to talk about Twitter because it continues to be one of the most influential and most widely used social media networks around.

There are, in fact, many different ways in which Kik Messenger and Twitter relate to each other. In this article we will explore some of these. Make no mistake, though, this article is not going to be a long dry and boring disquisition on social media. Rather, in talking about Kik Messenger and Twitter, we will be giving you lots of fun and useful tips on how to use Twitter and Kik Messenger together. By the end of the article we hope to have shown you how using Twitter can make the Kik Messenger better and vice versa.

Kik Messenger and Twitter on Your Phone

Before we go into how Twitter can improve your Kik Messenger experience and vice versa, let’s just talk a little bit about convenience. One of the things that makes using Kik Messenger and Twitter combined is the fact that both apps are available for smart phone devices. Whether you use an Android smart phone, an iOS device such as an iPhone or an iPod Touch, or any other smart phone, you should be able to download and install both the Kik Messenger app and the Twitter app for free.

If you use an Android smart phone and you do not already have either the Kik Messenger app or the Twitter app install, all you will need to do is to go to the Google Play app store and search of the apps. Once you have found them download them and install them. Obviously, you will need to do this separately if you are trying to download and install both of them.

If, however, you use an iOS smart phone (iPhone) or mobile device (iPod Touch), then you will need to head over to the Apple app store and search for Kik Messenger and Twitter (again, you would need to this separately). Once you have found the relevant app you will be able to download it and install it on your device.

Both Kik Messenger and Twitter require you to sign up. What this means is that you will need to create a unique profile before you can start using them. If you would like to know how you would go about creating a Kik Messenger profile and would also like to get some tips on how best to do so, then you should read this article from our web site. The process of signing up to Twitter is just as straightforward and actually quite self-explanatory.

What is really important here if you are to make the most of both Kik Messenger and Twitter and you are planning of using them combined is to link both profiles. Now, you can link both profiles when you create them or you can do so at a later date. That is not really relevant. So, if you are a long-time Twitter user trying to get to grips with making the most of Kik Messenger (or if you have used Kik Messenger for quite some time but are new to Twitter), you can link your profiles just as easily as if you were creating both profiles today.

In the next section we will explain what you will need to do in order to go about linking both your Kik Messenger profile and your Twitter profile. If you have already done this and would like to find out about tips to using both, then we would suggest you skip over the following section and go straight to the one after that for some tips.

How Do You Link Your Kik Messenger and Your Twitter Profiles?

There are some different ways of going about linking your Kik Messenger and your Twitter profiles. Let’s start by the easiest thing you could do, which is namely to add your Kik Messenger to your Twitter profile. This is just as simple as including your full Kik user name on your Twitter bio.

Here are the full steps you will need to follow in order to add your Kik Messenger in your Twitter bio:

1. Grab your smart phone or Kik Messenger compatible mobile device.
2. Launch the Twitter app and sign in to it if you are not automatically signed in.
3. Once you have successfully signed in to your account, go to your profile.
4. Then tap on “Edit your profile”.
5. Tap on the bio area.
6. Type in your bio. You will be able to write a maximum of 160 characters but make sure that you include your full Kik Messenger user name. The two more popular ways of doing this are to write either “Kik: [user name]” or “Kik [user name].
7. Tap on “Save changes”.

Doing this would allow anybody checking out your Twitter profile, for example, new Twitter followers, to see both that you are actively on Kik Messenger and what you Kik user name is.

That is often enough to “link” your Twitter profile and your Kik Messenger profile but there are other things that you could do to make this link a lot more effective.

Firstly, you could share your Kik Messenger profile on Twitter. This is a lot easier to do than it sounds. In a few simple steps you could be sharing your Kik Messenger profile on Twitter:

1. Grab your smart phone or Kik Messenger compatible mobile device.
2. Launch the Kik Messenger app and sign in to it if this does not happen automatically.
3. Go to your main chats list.
4. Tap on the setings icon located in the top right hand side of your screen if you have an iOS device such as an iPhone or an iPod Touch; or, if you have an Android smart phone, in the bottom right hand side of your screen.
5. Tap on the “share your profile” button.
6. Then choose Twitter as the social network you would like to share your Kik Messenger profile on (of course, you can also share your profile on any of the other social networks displayed).

Secondly, you could choose to share your Kik code. A Kik code is a QR code unique to your profile. Anybody who scanned your Kik code would be redirected to your Kik Messenger profile. So, this is a really convenient way of making sure that other Kik Messenger users can find you on the app. If you would like to share your Kik code on Twitter, then follow these steps:

1. Grab your smart phone or Kik Messenger compatible device.
2. Launch the Kik Messenger app and sign in to it if this does not happen automatically.
3. Go to your main chat lists.
4. Pull down from the top of your screen. This action will open the scanner screen.
5. In the bottom area of the scanner screen you should be able to find your Kik code.
6. Tap on the Kik code.
7. Tap on the “share” icon located in the top right hand side corner of your screen.

Although this may seem perhaps like stating the obvious, if you share your Kik Messenger profile on Twitter or any other social media site or app, you might start getting chat request from people you do not know. Every so often (depending on how many Twitter followers you have and how popular your tweets are) you will see messages from people you have never chatted with before pop up in your chat lists. It is then entirely up to you how you respond to this, you can decide to chat with them, ignore them and delete their messages, or even block them.

Meet New Kik Friends on Twitter

Apart from sharing your Kik Messenger profile on Twitter or sharing your Kik codes there is another way in which you could find new people to chat with on Twitter. You could tweet using hash tags that would indicate that you looking for other Kik users. The advantage of doing this is that could potentially reach a lot more people than those who already follow you on Twitter.

The important thing is to use the appropriate hash tags. For example, if you are looking to chat to girls, use things like kikgirls; or, if you want to have a Kik party, then use a hash tag that would make that clear. Use as many hash tags as necessary and always remember to add a “kik” hash tag. To make your tweets even more effective, you could include your Kik user name or, even better, your Kik code as part of your tweet.
