좋아요🤙🤙

It was good, now it sucks

I want the good old version of Kakaotalk back at 2025. Kakaotalk sucks now and shows ads and it expires photos on purpose to ruin good memories, kakaotalk is really stupid junk and i hate it. Please un-update the kakaotalk app and i want good old 2025 back, i hate ads and i hate photo expiration, the good old version never had ads and the photos were visible forever i wish this trash update got deleted.

국민의 메신저 대단해요!

어떻게 하면 10년 전보다 메시지 보내고 받는게 느릴까요? 기술력 대단해요!

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.

🤔

프필 꾸미는 거나 게시물 올리는 건 재밌고 마음에 드는디 숏폼은 왜 생긴거져ㅠㅜ 어린 친구들도 많은데 부적절한 영상이 있는 경우가 있어서 조심해야 할 듯요.. 또 유튭보다 악플이 굉장히 많더라구요;; 숏폼 관리도 해주셨음 좋겠습니다!!

Can't use app using cellular data

I have no idea what happened but I can't use the app anymore unless I'm on wifi.

알림안뜸

카톡 업데이트후로 알림이 아예 안뜸 알림설정 백그라운드설정 재부팅 다 햇는데 알림은 여전히 안뜸 ㅡㅡ 카톡 들어가면 그제서야 대화내용들 뜨는데 중요한 연락을 알람이 없어서 계속 놓침 업데이트에 무슨짓을한거임? 개빡침 ㅡㅡ 삭제후 재설치하고싶은데 대화백업하려면 톡서랍인지 뭔지 해야하는데 외국살아서 이것도 못함 무료백업은 용량 개코딱지라 하고싶어도 못함 알람안떠서 폰킬때마다 카톡들어가는게 일상됨 이걸노린거임? 진짜 개빡치니까 이것좀 제발 고쳐주셈

Great

Great multitasking app

Ads..??

Why ads on friend list and chat? Are you guys nuts? Lol company greed never ends!

Great app w/caution

The single most important thing to have in Korea. Bit it does facilitate cheating behavior so keep an eye on her phone from time to time. Other than that, I wish America has anything this helpful.

Essential app in Korea

If you visit or live in Korea, this is a must have app! Very easy to use in English. If you know someone’s Korean phone number, most of the time this app will let you freely text them, as well as make appointments for restaurants, or ask your doctors follow-up questions. As an English speaker, this communication method is a must for me, since I wouldn’t be able to understand conversations over a phone call

감다뒤

이러면 사용자들이 몰릴 것 같나요?인스타 따라하면 오히려 특색이 없고 집토끼 놓칩니다.원래대로 돌릴 생각은 없으신 것 같으니까
차라리 숏폼이나 친구탭을 끌 수 있는 기능을 만들어 주세요.14살 중학생인데 미성년자 청소년들을 겨냥해서 만든 업데이트라 해도 똑같이 불쾌해요.이럴거면 그냥 인스타만 하지 인스타 짭처럼 되가는 카톡을 왜 해요.

뜨라고 5점줌

아니 진짜 카카오톡 미친거 아닌가요..?숏폼이랑 인스타 따라가고 싶은 건 알겠는데 왜 이런 업데이트를 진행해서 저희 국민이 쓰는 앱을 불편하게 만드신건가요..?정말 예전부터 싸오던 앱인데 조금 아쉽네여..업데이트 부탁드려여…. 그리고 숏폼에서 특정 유튜버나 사람들이 비하받고 욕먹고 댓글로 사람 깎아내리는데 명예훼손 같아여..업데이트 부탁드려여….
카카오톡 그냥이거 돈 달라는 그런거잖아요ㅋㅋㅋ
