No phone or picture verification. Only email verification. So anyone can create an account pretending to be you which has happened to me and many others and abuse the system, the report system they have in place is pointless, as there is only a email verification, the 100'sfake users and blank profiles can just create another one using a new email. A huge safety concern in which kik aren't even acting on or acknowledging and aren't taking this seriously. Also seen illegal stuff!
