The Best of best

The meaning of those letters beside your messages.

The little letters beside your message are receipts giving you more information about the status of your message.

S means that your message has been sent to our Kik server.

D means that we have delivered your message to your friend.

R means that your message has been opened and read.

If you see these characters instead:

"..." : the three dots means that the app is trying to establish a connection. The message will change to S as soon as a connection is established. If you see the three dots for an extended period of time, please check your data and/or Wi-Fi connection.

"!" : the red exclamation mark means that there is an error sending your message. In this instance you'll need to send the message again.

A faded D appears next to messages sent to iPhones and Windows Phones. It means that we have sent the push notification of your message to the recipient but they haven't opened the app to receive the message on their phone. Once they open the app, you will see a solid D.

That's all for today guys!! See you next week for another Tip Tuesday and don't forget to check out Feature Friday later this week!
