Hike Messenger CEO Kavin Bharti Mittal had confirmed that the service will be unavailable since this month and from January 15, the application has shut down, even taken off the Play Store. The sticker chat application was not as successful as the company had hoped, which is what forced this shutdown. At a time when people are looking for alternatives to WhatsApp, with its new privacy update, Hike could have worked better. But the company is now shifting its focus to new apps like Vibe and Rush by Hike. Meanwhile, the loyal users of the sticker chat application are tweeting to revive the service. Some users have joked on Natasha, the auto bot replying account Natasha who they will miss more.
