I Can’t Register For An Account: Fix Kik Sign Up And Login Error

While creating an account on Kik, you might face some errors while signing up, which will stop you from creating an account in Kik. So let’s see what error may occur while creating an account in Kik.

Email Error: Your Email Is Already In Use

You see this error if you have already created an account with the email or someone you know is using your email address to create an account on Kik.

If you see an email error, you can remove your email from the account. Now, you have to reset your password and delete the email address from that account. After that, you can create a new account with the email.

Username Error: The Username You Want Is Taken

You can use your own name or some other name as your username while creating an account on Kik. But if you see a red cross “X” beside the username text field, it means that the username has been already taken and you cannot use that same name.

To solve this error, try registering using a different and unique name or you can also use a number and symbol in your username.

Connection Error: You’re Experiencing Connection Issues

Birthday Error: You’re Not Old Enough

Kik has restrictions on users that are below the age of 13. So, I would like to request you to not use the Kik application if your age is not as old as per Kik policy.

Otherwise, simply to fix this problem, you can cheat Kik and change your age and fit the age to Kik policy.
