Part 2. How to Recover Deleted Kik Messages on iPhone

Because Kik doesn't store your chat on its servers long term, once the messages are deleted from the app, the only possible way to get deleted Kik messages back is to recover them from somewhere you previously saved your iPhone data, such as an iCloud backup or iTunes backup, or to scan your device for traces that haven't been overwritten. Below are three methods iPhone users can try.

Method 1. Get Deleted Kik Messages from iCloud Backup

If you have enabled iCloud Backup, then you may be able to recover deleted Kik messages from the iCloud backup. Since iCloud backup contains all apps and data on your iPhone, when you restore your iPhone from an iCloud backup, the deleted Kik messages will also be recovered to your iPhone.

Step 1. Go to iPhone Settings and tap General.

Step 2. Tap Transfer or Reset iPhone at the bottom, then tap Erase All Content and Settings.

Step 3. Tap Continue > Erase iPhone, and enter the required iPhone passcode and Apple ID password to proceed.

Step 4. Once the iPhone restarts after the erasing, follow the onscreen instructions to set it up. When you see the Transfer Your Apps & Data prompt, choose From iCloud Backup. Then sign in to your iCloud and choose one backup to restore.

Step 5. After all the apps' data has been restored to your iPhone, you can open the Kik to check the deleted messages.

Method 2. Get Deleted Kik Messages from iTunes Backup

If you have backed up your iPhone on a computer using iTunes, you may also be able to recover deleted Kik messages from the iTunes backup.

Step 1. Link your iPhone to the computer you used to back up this iPhone.

Step 2. Launch iTunes, and when the iPhone is detected by iTunes, click the device icon.

Step 3. Click Summary, then click Restore Backup and choose one backup to restore to your iPhone.

Method 3. Get Deleted Kik Messages Using MagFone iPhone Data Recovery

Since Kik keeps a limited number of messages on your device, if the Kik messages are out of the iCloud backup or iTunes backup, you can't restore a backup to get deleted Kik messages. Another possible method to get deleted Kik messages is to use a data recovery tool like MagFone Kik Data Recovery. Though Kik messages are no longer displayed on your device, MagFone iPhone Data Recovery can still help you scan Kik data and allow you to selectively restore Kik data. With this data management tool, you can recover both old Kik messages and deleted Kik messages. The operation is quite simple as follows:

Step 1 Run MagFone iPhone Data Recovery

Start by downloading and installing MagFone iPhone Data Recovery on your computer. Then launch the software on your computer.

Step 2 Scan Deleted Kik Messages on iPhone

Connect your iPhone to the computer using a data cable, then click iPhone/iPad Data Recovery on the landing page. Select Kik and click Scan to scan Kik data on iPhone.

Step 3 Recover Deleted Kik Messages on iPhone

After scanning, check the Kik messages on the computer. You can select and click Recover to PC or Recover to Mac to export them to your computer.

Part 3. How to Restore Deleted Kik Messages on Android

Android phones can also use cloud backup services, such as Google Drive or the phone manufacturer's own backup solution. If you have enabled cloud backup before your Kik messages were deleted, you may be able to restore your phone to an earlier state and get some of those chats back. Keep in mind that this restore will return your Kik to how it was at the time of the backup, which means any newer data that wasn't included in that backup may be lost from the device.

Step 1. Open Settings and tap Accounts and backup.

Step 2. Tap Restore data and choose a backup to restore data from.

Step 3. Tap Apps and mark Kik, then tap Restore to restore the Kik data.

Kik's messages policy is a little unfriendly to frequent users. And if your messages are accidentally deleted by yourself or deleted by Kik automatically, it's not easy to get them back.

To better protect your Kik chats, using a dedicated tool such as MagFone Kik Transfer to create secure backups and manage your Kik data can greatly reduce the risk of permanent loss.
