The messenger app Kik is popular for group chats. While the group chat feature normally works well, you may find that you want to block communication from an unknown or abusive person in a group. To remove or ban a user from a group, you must be one of the group's admins. If you are not, you should reach out directly to the group's admin. If you're not sure who the group's admin is, tap on the group's picture and looking for the member(s) with a crown in the corner of their avatar(s).

Banning a User From a Group

Open the Kik app. Do this by tapping on the Kik icon in your phone's list of apps.
Tap on the group that contains the user you would like to ban. The group chat in question will open.
Tap the info icon. The icon is located at the top-right corner of the screen. You'll be brought to a menu listing all of the participants in the group.
Tap the profile picture of a user you would like to ban. The screen will introduce an enlarged version of the user's picture, along with options under the person's name.
- You must be a group admin to see this option. If you are not the group admin, message the group's admin directly and ask them to ban the member for you.
Tap "Ban From Group". This will remove the user from the group and permanently prevent them from rejoining it.

Blocking a User From Messaging You

- Will still be able to see any changes you make to your profile picture as well as your previous chat with them.
