5점줬으면 봐라 이게 개선이 맞음?

패드 채팅목록/채팅창 비율 1대1로 쓸데없는 공간차지는 누구 머리에서 나온 거죠? 채팅창 안 들어간 상태에서는 이전에는 화면 전체 크게 표시된 채팅목록과 달리 진짜 근본도 없는 절반이나 차지하는 빈 공간 때문에 불편해 죽겠고요, 채팅목록을 절반 차지하지 못 하면 죽는 병이라도 걸리셨나요? 화면 절반이나 차지하는 채팅 목록 때문에 채팅방이 너무 좁아서 채팅에 집중하기 힘들고 정신만 더 산만합니다 그리고 아래에 있던 작은 목록들은 왜 세로 벽으로 옮기신거죠 손이 더 자주 오가야 하고 더 불편합니다

Is 0 star possible?

I have used Kakaotalk for all my life. If you live outside Korea, make your jump immediately and stop using this abyssmal app. I have lost lifelong record of chat, photos, and contacts, but only because of changing to a new phone, i need to be verified. I still have correct credentials and password! Be aware they never respond to this “verification” SMS text which i have wasted money sending overseas SMS that they are supposed to come back. Support is none other than utter useless parroting same answers over and over and shows no empathy or will to resolve your problem. Do not waste your time and money and most of all avoid depending on it, or you will lose all your data because you bought a new device.
