It can be. Kik is extremely popular because of how easy it is for anyone to create an account. You just need to enter your name, email address, and age—and this information doesn’t need any sort of verification. For that reason, anyone can use Kik and pretend they’re pretty much anyone else. That means your kids could be chatting with dangerous strangers. Thankfully, a Kik spy app can show you what they’re saying and who they’re talking to.
