Kik Logo In Messages

One of the annoying things about Kik is that it constantly sends read receipts so that people know if you’ve read their message and have chosen not to respond. Sometimes you’re busy and can quickly glance at a message but don’t want to take the time to answer it. Also, there are some people who are annoying and won’t leave you alone and even if you read their message you don’t want to tell them that and have them get upset that you haven’t responded.

With this secret you can trick Kik into not showing the “R” but only showing the “D” that the message has been sent but never read (even when you read it).

Say a friend texts you on Kik and you want to read it but not show that you’ve read it. There are two options that I know of to “secretly” read the message.
1. Say you just got a message from a friend that you want to read. If you’re on an iPhone you can double click the home key which will change the screen to show screenshots of all your apps open so that you can close them. This will give you a screenshot of the app and show the message. After you read the message just tap the home button again to get out of Kik without ever showing that you read the message.

2. The second way is after receiving a message turn on airplane mode. Then open the Kik app and read the message. You will then want to get out of the app and you can then turn airplane mode off and it won’t show that you’ve read the message. You can see verification of this technique below where I sent myself a test text on Kik and it still displays “D” not “R” for the second text. I wasn’t quick enough getting out of the app when texting myself the firs time, hence why that didn’t work. But that won’t be an issue if someone else texts you.
