Kakao has significantly enhanced the message reaction feature and revamped user convenience functions through a regular update to KakaoTalk.
On May 15, Kakao announced the expansion of its existing reaction feature and the introduction of new functionalities, including improvements to open chat and call features.
The core of this update is the enhancement of the reaction feature. Users can now leave up to 30 different reactions on KakaoTalk message bubbles, with the total number of reaction types increasing to 114.
Notably, the range of mini emoticons that users can utilize as reactions has been broadened. Users can now tap on reactions left by others, even if they do not own those mini emoticons, allowing for a more natural and diverse expression of emotions during conversations.
The emoticon store has also been revamped. The 'Emoticons' menu under the More tab now includes new and popular sections, making it easier for users to explore a variety of emoticon products and the latest trends. Users can save their favorite items using the 'like' feature, and enhanced search functionality allows them to quickly view popular styles and emoticon rankings.
Improvements have also been made to the open chat feature. Users can now reply to specific comments, facilitating a more natural flow of conversation. Additionally, a new 'Call' folder has been added at the top of the chat tab, where users can view recent call records for voice and video calls in one place.
KakaoTalk's regular updates typically occur on a monthly basis. The new features are available in KakaoTalk version 26.4.0 and above.
