How to know when someone deleted kik off their phone?

[Joseph Loretto]

So I went to send a message to my friend and it went straight to a faded D. Then i waited a day and sent another message and it said "Oops, it looks like ___'s phone has been off/disconnected for a while. We'll deliever your messae whrn they connect again." I was told this can either be that they haven't used kik in a few days , their phone is off, or they deleted kik. But it still has the faded D next to the messages?? And also this person hasn't been on instagram either so I was thinking their phone is probably off. What is it?
