What is Check-In?
1 year ago
Check-In is the first part of a new feature that connects Kik users who are in close proximity. Users that "Check-in" are given 1 free top-up every 12 hours.
What exactly does Checking-In do?
It gives KikSexting access to your current location much like the popups on your favorite apps and allows us to build and present a list of people closest to you. It also allows you to be searchable to other local users.
Will other users know my exact location?
No, other users who are very close will just know you're within a 1 mile or 1.6km distance making it impossible for them to triangulate your exact location.
Can I remove my location if I change my mind?
Simply click the new "CLEAR" button beside the username you wish to remove from sharing location.
When is this feature going to be available?
We're expecting to release this new feature sometime in January of 2024, we first need to build a database of locations.
IMPORTANT!
Although we advise against it, we know that users may connect in person outside of Kik and we strongly advise if you are planning on doing so to Read This Safety Guide for Meeting Online Stranger.
