And speaking of dating-let’s move on to what we’re really here for. Let’s take a look at how to use Kik for dating, to meet women to hang out and hook up with. The next section will cover a few pointers to help make sure your experience is a good one.

Aside from meeting women in Kik groups, you can also use third-party apps and sites. These can either turn Kik into a real dating app experience or simply group you with people who’s thinking the same thing you are.

Third-Party Apps

“Match Chat” is a popular third-party app, which you can search for from Kik’s browser. It requires you to link your Kik profile to its website, after which you can check other members’ Match Chat profiles.

The app turns Kik into a Tinder-like experience where you browse women and swipe left or right depending on whether you want to match with them. When you look for similar apps, you might confuse it with “Matcher” and many other third-party apps that do a similar thing-turn Kik into a real dating app.

Another app worth considering is Flirt!, which alerts you to other Kik users in your area within your age range. It’s a popular option for singles who want to use Kik for dating.

• Some apps are more reputable than others, so make sure your device is secured with antivirus, antispyware, and antispam in case you download a bad one.
