Kik today released a new update after three years. Yep, three years. Unfortunately, the update isn’t anything major and it also doesn’t introduce any new features. The latest update for Kik only introduces an improved registration system which should be able to cut down on the number of spam registrations. Here are some of the features of Kik:

Fast: Kik is hands-down the fastest, most reliable smartphone messenger available. And with sent, delivered, read and typing notifications, your conversations will come to life.

Simple: We believe that simplicity is the ultimate in sophistication. We’ve spent thousands of hours making sure Kik is the easiest, most beautiful way to send messages and pictures.

Personal: Your Kik username – not your phone number – is your Kik Identity, so you can keep complete control of your privacy. No wonder Kik is the number one way people connect in other social apps like Instagram, SocialCam, and Viddy.

If you still use Kik, you can get the latest update for the app from the link below.
