Kakao conducted an update on the 18th to add spell checking and translation features to KakaoTalk.

The spell checking feature automatically corrects spelling and spacing issues when users input text and press the "spell check" icon. The translation feature can be accessed by entering text and clicking the "translate" icon. It supports translation in 19 languages, including Korean, English, Chinese, and Indonesian.

Additionally, KakaoTalk has been updated to allow users to modify schedules in the birthday calendar or manually add friends' birthdays that are not in the birthday calendar. A "friend tag" feature has also been added, allowing users to tag up to 10 friends to enhance communication with family, friends, and partners.

Kakao updates KakaoTalk approximately 10 times a year on average.
