how secure is kik to use as far as privacy goes?
this article from last year states
>Kik*: Kik also gets an asterisk here. Messages are not end-to-end encrypted, so the company can theoretically read them. But Kik claims it deletes user messages from its servers as soon as they’re delivered to a user’s device. That means it wouldn’t be able to share your messages with authorities if requested, and the length of time during which it could read your messages is extremely short.

yet i found another article where a kik rep said it is encrypted
>"Kik is kind of built in a way where the people that built the technology and the people that founded it—they wouldn’t want people to be able to read their messages so that’s one of the reasons why messages are encrypted and they aren’t stored on our servers."
so i'm kind of confused, can somebody that knows more about this clarify if kik messages are indeed encrypted end-to-end?
