I am developing a chatbot for Kik messenger, and want to use the current time in the user's timezone to personalize the conversation. According to the Kik API reference, users do have a time zone attribute, and I can indeed get the timezone information from a user profile.
However, so far the only timezone value I have encountered is 'None'. So I wonder if this is common... In the Kik messenger app (e.g. the user profile), I have not seen any option to enter a timezone. Does Kik automatically assign a user timezone only in some countries / areas?
The actual question is: How does the Kik messenger assign a timezone to their users, and is to common for a Kik user to have a timezone asigned?
