Kik Messenger App Now Supports Symbian Devices

UPDATE: 12/09/11 1600H PHT

Kik Support has been receiving reports about installation issues when downloading Kik Messenger from the OVI Store.

Please be informed that Kik Messenger for Symbian currently supports Symbian^3 or later (Anna and Belle). Support for older versions (S60v3, S60v5) is in the works and may be released sometime after Christmas according to the Kik Support website.

If you believe your device has the latest version, try rebooting it. Many users have reported success after rebooting their phones.

Just got an email from Kik telling me that the phenomenal cross-platform smartphone messenger app has just included Symbian in its roster of supported OS.

Previously available only to BlackBerry, iOS (iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch), Android and Windows Phone 7, Kik is now available for Symbian devices FREE from the OVI store or from m.kik.com.

Kik touts itself as “the fastest, most beautiful and reliable messenger on Symbian” and works perfectly with other supported platforms.

So how does Kik work?
How do you find your friends in this smartphone jungle?

Kik works its magic by using “Address Book Matching”. To enable this, go to the app’s “Setting>Privacy” option and enable Address Book Matching. From then on, anyone who signs up with Kik using the email address and phone number that’s saved on your phone (or if your email address or phone number is saved in theirs) you will both be notified of the possibility that you’re “friends” by prompting you with the message “you may know…” after which, hopefully the fun begins.

This means you only make “Kik friends” with presumably those you already are real-life friends with, reducing pesky requests from anonymous people. If you’re the adventurous kind though, you can always add friends using their Kik usernames.

So whether you’re the privacy freak or the “make-friends-with-everyone” person, Kik’s cross-platform functionalities will surely delight you.

If you haven’t downloaded Kik yet, give it a try today and let us know how it goes.

● About Me
Cecilia Regina Aquino Blanquera Marmol aka RJ Marmol profile picture

I’m RJ Marmol — writer, musician, and independent creator based in Manila.

I write songs, essays, and books about the messy overlap between money, overwhelm, creativity, identity, and rebuilding. Much of my work circles around what happens when life stops feeling manageable — and how we try to think clearly, make decisions, and keep moving anyway.

I’m also the author of Rebuilding Under Debt: Thinking Clearly When Everything Is a Blur, a nonfiction book published under Steady Hand Press. The paperback edition is listed under my full publishing name, Cecilia Regina Aquino Blanquera.

On the music side, I release work as HeyRJ. On the writing side, this site is where I gather my books, essays, notes, and whatever I’m building next.

Music

HeyRJ is my sonic soul project. I create raw, minimalist-style and deeply personal music interpretations that feel like a late-night conversation with your truest self.

By blending lo-fi acoustic textures with poetic honesty, my work explores love, loss, grief, healing, and the quiet in-betweens of life. Each song is a letter — a journal entry — a gentle companion for when the world feels too loud or too quiet.

While my catalogue began with intimate cover renditions, my work is increasingly being shaped by original writing, drawing from years of poems, lived questions, and emotional survival.

“Stuck Home Syndrome” released on March 20, 2026 is my first original 20-track album written during a period when time felt compressed and days began to blur into each other. The songs came from sitting with thoughts that had nowhere else to go — unfiltered, repetitive, and sometimes uncomfortable. It’s a concept album that isn’t built around singles or polish. It’s closer to a continuous inner monologue, recorded with minimal production and very little ornamentation and meant to be listened to as one cohesive body of work. The goal wasn’t to resolve anything, only to document how it felt while it was happening.

On May 29, 2026 I released new original singles – “Rapturous”, “Uh Huh”, “Look At You”, “All That” and “Blew Print”. I continue to release both original and cover songs and intend to so for as long as I can so check back every once in a while — you might. just find something you’ll like.

Books

Rebuilding Under Debt: Thinking Clearly When Everything Is a Blur

A nonfiction book about what debt does to the mind — and how to begin functioning again when financial stress has made everything feel blurred, urgent, and overwhelming.

Rather than treating debt only as a financial math problem, the book explores the emotional and cognitive realities of financial distress: shame, decision fatigue, avoidance, panic, relationship strain, and the difficulty of making sound decisions while mentally depleted.

Published under Steady Hand Press. It’s available worldwide in ebook and paperback formats on Amazon. Bookstores and libraries can also be order it wholesale via Ingram.
