4 Ways to Retrieve Kik Messages After Logging Out [iPhone/Android]

Please provide the English content you want translated, and I'll do my best to translate it into Chinese.

Kik Messenger, simply known as Kik, is an instant messaging app with a long history that's growing in popularity, thanks to features like anonymous random chats and live streaming.

However, it differs from other messaging apps in some technical details. Currently, Kik doesn't support creating or restoring backups. If you log out, you'll lose your saved data, chat history, contacts, and login info. Additionally, logging in on another device, uninstalling Kik, and exceeding the message limit can also delete your data.

Thus, due to the ease of losing data, Kik can be very difficult to use. But worry not, we have solutions for you on how to recover deleted chats and data. We have different methods depending on the situation and we'll mention the recovery tool we recommend – MobiSaver. Let's get started.

Where is Kik data stored?

Your Kik chat history is saved on your device through the Kik app, meaning messages aren't stored on their servers. Therefore, there's no option to retrieve chats from them. So, if you have a full backup of your device that includes Kik data, that would be your only option.

Additionally, it's worth mentioning that chat history on Kik is quite limited, as you can only view a certain number of messages in your chat history and not the entire conversation. This is because Kik deletes older chat records as new messages come in to maintain storage constraints. Hence, you can only recover a limited amount of data.

How to Retrieve Kik Messages After Logging Out on iPhone

Since logging out deletes all your messages and Kik doesn't have a backup and restore feature, let's look at how you can recover your messages.

Solution 1: Recover Kik Messages from iCloud Backup

iCloud is the built-in cloud service for iOS that allows your device to be backed up to the cloud. In order to do this, you must have a backup available in iCloud. If you do not, then this process will not work.

And, through this process, you cannot selectively restore data; everything in the backup file will be restored. The steps to recover Kik data are as follows.

Note: This will delete all your existing data and replace it with the old backup, so proceed with caution.

Step 1: Go to "Settings" > "General" > "Reset."

Step 2: Now tap “Erase All Content and Settings.”

Step 3: Wait for the process to finish and for the Setup screen to appear.

Step 4: Follow the onscreen instructions until you see the “Apps & Data” screen.

Step 5: Here, select “Restore from iCloud Backup.”

Step 6: Enter your Apple login information and select the backup that contains your Kik data.

How to Retrieve Kik Messages After Logging Out on Android (UTF-8)

Unlike on an iPhone, signing out of Kik on an Android device deletes all of your Kik data, with no way to back it up or recover it. However, there are still a few methods you can use to get your data back; let's take a look at what they are.

Recover Kik Messages from Android Backup

Like an iPhone, an Android device allows for a full device backup. You can do this manually, but everything goes smoothly until your Kik messages are backed up to a file.

In addition to messages, you can use this method to recover photos and videos. However, this won't work if you don't have a backup or if Kik isn't included in the backup. The steps for recovering from a backup file are as follows:

Caution: This will restore all data from the backup file. Proceed with caution.

1. Open the Settings app on your device.

Step 2. Next, click on the “Account” option.

Step 3. Tap on “Backup & Restore” and then select “Restore.”

Step 4: Wait for the process to finish, which may take some time. When it's done, you can view your Kik data on your device.

Note: You will need to have previously backed up your Kik data for this to work. The "Backup & Restore" option may be located elsewhere on some devices, so search for it in your Settings.

However, if you are not able to recover data or are prevented from doing so because of data protection issues, you should try using an Android data recovery tool – MobiSaver for Android.

For this, we recommend using MobiSaver for Android, a powerful application that can help you retrieve your data without deleting existing information or requiring a file backup.

Moreover, it is a professional recovery tool that can retrieve a great deal of erased content, including text messages, notes, call logs, photos, and videos.
