 , I thought I had to use a recovery email for Kik from the start thought & I just never sync contacts | |||
 and I never used an email address. | |||

"He's bullshitting you. Kik in no way uses any email to register and is also part of the reason it's so popular. It sells itself on not being linked to any phone number or private email. " Them how did he find my kik?? We haven't spoken in years and it was long before I had kik. When I looked through my settings in kik there was my bloody email address too | |||
"Click reset kik. Then login and it'll ask if you want to find contacts then say no. Then click the more options thing when it asks if you're sure then un-tick the box which says let friends find me. Something similar happened to me with an old friend but luckily there was nothing that gave away the fact that it was actually me." Exactly. If you are careful on your log in it shouldn't connect to any email or phone number. | |||

Well mine is usually a face pic as I don't do dirty pics really so that's something.. I wouldn't put something up that I wouldn't put on fb | |||

Simply having the Gmail app and being signed in means any other app that requests contacts or any form of syncing can connect without you doing it personally. No dirty pics on mine either lol just a blob of white. | |||

I don't know how to do any of that "If you open your contacts and go into settings you can turn off sync for some apps that are synced. If you go into settings and click accounts you can also turn off more apps that are synced. Think you can go into settings for any other app that's not on those lists and turn it off from there and you should be better for most of them | |||

My sis in law only said to me yesterday , look at what you can get on your phone , all your photos you have ever taken are on a new Google cloud I nearly died after a stiff drink I checked it out and thankfully I've always had my back up or sync switched off !!! I don't like all this new internet malarkey "So I have been using this Samsung phone for about a year and a half. My old iPhone as far as I was aware had all the backup options switched off but this post made me curious. Powered it up last night and then checked my Gmail photos. I normally use Dropbox so I never check back up to Gdrive or photo, low and behold a huge amount of photo that I'm pretty sure I never chose to back up were there in my personal Gmail fml everything. I'm very very careful but I still missed this. Google is one intrusive son of a bitch. Lesson learned for me | |||
