Since two days ago, my Kik page has been stuck on "Connecting" at the top. Each of my messages I've sent is stuck on "s". The problem isn't on my end in terms of connection, because my Wi-Fi and cellular data is working fine for everything else on my phone.
I've tried closing the app (stopping background activity and everything) at least a hundred times. I've toggled the connection in my phone on and off. I've restarted my phone at least a dozen times. I eveuslly even logged out and later deleted and redownloaded the app a few times, which was a last resort because it erased my entire chat history. Nothing is working. I've never seen or heard of a problem like this before, where even deleting the app isn't working.
I have an IPhone X, iOS 12, and the most updated version of Kik. Is there anything else I can try?
