In the latest version of Kik for Android (Play Store), 17.0, there is a bug where the server is unable to verify that the app is legitimate. This causes "Camera" to be removed from images you receive from those users.

There is nothing to be done except to report it to Kik and wait for them to fix it. I tried reporting it but as usual they have chosen to ignore me.

Since June of 2024 or so, Kik introduced a machine learning algorithm that scans all text messages sent.
If it believes they are spam, it refuses to deliver them. It is in effect for all messages.

If you find your message blocked, try the following:

• For URLs, use a URL shortener.
• Try changing the format or grammar of the message
• Tap and hold the message, and tap "Resend as image"
• Use the !tti command (for longer / multi-line messages)
• Use the uncensor command (for shorter messages / JIDs)

My pet project, created out of a desire to improve the base app and see if I could make the best Kik mod possible.

I, like many others back in the day, were inspired by previous mods, and wanted to bring them to the latest version with the most features.

The goal of this mod is to make Kik more enjoyable to use. Some ways it does this is with built in exploit and spam bot protection.

Blue Kik's list of more than 100 features provides most users with a complete feature set.

Finally, Blue Kik is largely shaped by community feedback. I read every suggestion submitted within the app or shared with me, and many requested features end up being added.

The Blue Kik Clone app was created to allow people to run two Blue Kik apps (accounts) on one phone.

If you do not want to run two accounts, you do not need to install the clone version.

Besides that, there are currently only minor theming differences between the two.

The latest version supports any Android device that is running Android 5.0 (Lollipop) or later.

Android emulators may work with Blue Kik but are not supported. Live does not work very well in emulators.

Do not use emulators to register new accounts, this may cause a ban or other errors.

Devices without Google Play Services are supported but this may change due to Kik making changes to the app.

Unsupported platforms:

• iOS
• Desktop

On August 2nd, 2:20 PM EST, Kik made a change that blocks any apps connecting to it with a base version lower than 15.25.0.22493.

On August 22nd, Kik further increased the minimum to 15.62.0.30057, blocking good apps like Remix.

Most apps older than a few months will no longer work due to this change, and will likely require regular updates, which I plan to do.

To resolve this issue, please download the latest version.

Try the following:

• Update Blue Kik to the latest version (from here)
• If you are using a Pixel phone, try installing the APK from the system files app (not from the browser or Telegram app)
• Update the WebView on your device (tap here)
• If you have root, make sure there's nothing injecting itself into the app at runtime
• Reboot your device

Tap settings icon in upper right -> Blue Mods -> Extras -> Enable "Keep-Alive Service".

To reduce bandwidth and improve privacy, it is disabled by default.

You can enable it in Blue Mods -> Kik Live -> Turn OFF "Disable Kik Live"

Keep in mind that when Kik Live is enabled, your age, device locale, approximate location and more become publicly accessible

No there is not. Other APK hosting websites may make this claim, but it does not and hasn't ever existed for Live.

Using Blue Kik alone is very unlikely to cause a ban.

Issues can arise however with what you do while on Kik. Use good judgement, don't spam, and avoid Kik drama.

Due to Kik adding streaming, the app is much bigger than before. Try freeing 200MB of space and / or clearing cache of some of your apps including Blue Kik. If that fails, try uninstalling Blue Kik (you can use the back up feature first) before reinstalling the new version.

To try to counter advertising bots joining groups, Kik introduced patches / algorithms to block accounts that are suspected to be bot accounts from joining groups.

Things to try:

• Update to the latest version of Blue Kik and enable Global Join in the Blue Mods settings
• Use an iOS device (if you have one)
• Use a different device
• Use a different connection
• Use a different account

A few points:

• Thank you for the free promotion


• Blue Kik has routinely had high severity exploits patched up to a year before Kik themselves patched them. One such exploit included the ability to steal passwords from any users phone. Another was found by a Google Project Zero member, and was patched in Blue Kik long before its discovery and disclosure. MediaLab has routinely failed to secure the app, for years. Blue Kik is therefore the safer option.


• Blue Kik removes all ads and tracking, and hard disables contact and location permissions in the manifest. Tracking is something that Kik / MediaLab does a lot of to be able to target ads to you. See their Bible-length privacy policy for what data they collect and the hundreds of companies your data is shared with. This is the pot calling the kettle black, as MediaLab's main revenue stream is derived from targeted ads + tracking its users. Blue Kik does not track your messages, passwords, etc, or share anything about you to 3rd parties. They want you to use stock Kik so they can track you easier and show you long video ads.


• There is no way for the app to covertly record audio / video in the background, as the article suggests. Android notifies the user whenever the camera or microphone is in use, there is no way for a developer to get away with this undetected. You can also disable these permissions at any time in your system settings, completely preventing access.


• Blue Kik doesn't have any ability to install any additional apps, like the article suggests. You can only install the app and its updates yourself.


• "All information obtained on modded Kik may be sent to third parties, gathered to be sold or otherwise used maliciously by the creator of the app."
  We do not collect or sell any personal information including messages, account credentials, group members, etc. To get the information for lookup requests, locations, resolve requests, etc, Kik's APIs are used directly using my own accounts / servers. Kik provides a lot of information about its users that is publicly accessible (including location data for Kik Live). All functions related to showing Kik user / group data would work just fine if Casino Bot and Blue Kik did not exist.
  
  Additionally, Kik is again leaving out the fact that your information is collected and sold hundreds of times per day to advertisers when using their app.


• "Your account could get flagged for suspicious activity"
  Blue Kik passes all of Kik's integrity checks, and appears legitimate to the server. You are unlikely to be flagged. Side note: as of 9/2, my app is not flagged while the official app from the Play Store is flagged by themselves on accident

Yes it is, and no it doesn't. (VirusTotal scan)

The 1/59 is due to a debug signature, which is known as a typical issue with mod APKs. The clone version does not have this issue.

I can't see your messages, login info, pictures, files, or any personal information, and I cannot control your account.

No, but I have a Telegram group you can join.
