What age group is Kik intended for?

Asked 5 months ago
Kik is primarily aimed at a younger audience, particularly teenagers and young adults. The app is designed to facilitate text messaging, social interaction, and the sharing of multimedia content in a fun and engaging manner. While Kik is popular among users aged thirteen and older, it is essential to note that the platform has a minimum age requirement of thirteen years to comply with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA). This legislation restricts the collection of personal information from children under thirteen without parental consent. As with any social networking platform, it is important for all users, especially younger ones, to be mindful of their interactions and the information they share. For the most accurate and up-to-date information regarding age restrictions and usage guidelines, one can refer to the official Kik website.
