Kik has recently become very popular with young people, but it only works on mobile devices. For those who want to stay connected with friends, but do not have a mobile phone or Wi-Fi access, we offer a simple solution. Read on to find out more.
Steps
Method 1 of 2: Bluestacks
1 Download Bluestacks if you don't already have it. Go to the Bluestacks website and the download will automatically start. You will see a dialog asking you to save the file or cancel the download. Select the "Save File" option and wait for the download to complete, which will take about 1-5 minutes, depending on your connection speed. - After downloading the file, launch Bluestacks and wait for the installation to complete. Select the required settings. Make sure you have enough space for the app as it is 323MB in size.
2 Download Kik on Bluestacks if you haven't already. Enter "Kik" in the search box at the top of your desktop. Click on the Instagram icon to open it in the Google Play Store. Then click on the green "Install" button and wait for the installation to complete, then open the application. 
3 Log in to your account (or register). When you launch the application, you will find yourself on a screen with two options: "Registration" and "Login". To log in, enter your credentials (email / username and password). Click on the "Login" button at the bottom of the screen and wait for the confirmation page to appear. You will be asked to enter a captcha or solve a puzzle with a series of pictures. You will be asked to click on an image that contains a specific object (to check that you are not a robot). To register, enter the required information (username, email, password, name, etc.) and click on the "Register" button at the bottom of the screen. Take the verification test to sign in to your account. 
4 Start using Kik. Email your friends, use online functions and so on. In addition to chatting with friends, the application has features such as Search for photos, videos and gifs, Kik glasses, Emoticon store and more. During correspondence, you can send emoticons, photos, videos, stickers, memes, and more. If you want, you can change your profile name and avatar. Instead of a touch screen, a mouse is used, but otherwise everything is exactly the same as on a phone.
Method 2 of 2: Android
1 Download and install Andyroid if you don't already have it. Go to the Andyroid website and click on the green Download button at the bottom of the screen. After that, the automatic loading of the emulator will begin, the version of which will be suitable for the system of your computer. Wait for the download to complete and then open the file to start the installation. Follow the prompts until you complete the installation process. - Andyroid has the following system requirements: OS Windows 7 or 8, or x64, Mac OS latest version (otherwise the program may be buggy), at least 3 GB of RAM (to work without freezing) and more than 20 GB of free hard disk space. The application can run on older Mac OS X, but it will crash much more often. In addition, you must also have one of the modern graphics cards with updated drivers and OpenGL ES 2.0 compatibility. Most graphics cards fall into this category, so if you have a relatively new computer, you have nothing to worry about.
2 Open Google Play Store and download Kik. The Play Store icon is at the bottom of the screen. Double click on it.So that you can successfully download the app and Google can sync your personal account with Andyroid, you will be asked to sign in to your Google Play account. If Kik is already installed on your account, it can sync all applications automatically and you don't have to download it manually. If Kik Messenger was not automatically installed, click on the Google Play Store search icon and enter “Kik” or “Kik Messenger”. Find the application in the list of results and click on the "Install" button. Wait for the installation to complete and then open the app. 
3 Log in to your account (or register). When you launch the application, you will find yourself on a screen with two options: "Registration" and "Login". To log in, enter your credentials (email / username and password). Click on the "Login" button at the bottom of the screen and wait for the confirmation page to appear. You will be asked to enter a captcha or solve a puzzle with a series of pictures. You will be asked to assemble an image, the name of which you will be given, from puzzles (to check that you are not a robot). To register, enter the required information (username, email, password, name, etc.) and click on the "Register" button at the bottom of the screen. Take the verification test to sign in to your account. 
4 Start using Kik. Email your friends, use online functions and so on. In addition to chatting with friends, the application has features such as Search for photos, videos and gifs, Kik glasses, Emoticon store and more. During correspondence, you can send emoticons, photos, videos, stickers, memes, and more. If you want, you can change your profile name and avatar. Instead of a touch screen, a mouse is used, but otherwise everything is exactly the same as on a phone.
Tips
- Kik only allows you to log in from one device at a time, so when you log in on one of the emulators, you will automatically log out on the previous device.
- Closing Manymo will log you out of Kik. In other words, if you launch it or some other emulator, you will have to sign in again. If you had important correspondence and you need to save part of it, take a screenshot of the chat before exiting, since the chat history will be erased after exiting.
