Kakao will revamp the friends tab, reflecting KakaoTalk users' feedback.
Kakao said on the 29th, "To address inconveniences raised after the recent update, we will restore the existing 'friends list' as the first screen of the friends tab, and separate the current feed-style posts into a dedicated 'news' menu." This improvement plan is slated for implementation within the fourth quarter, taking the development schedule into account.
It will also strengthen procedures to protect minors. On 27th, it added a "minor protection request" menu to the "Now tab (short form)" to improve accessibility, and it is reviewing additional improvements to make the request and setting process even simpler going forward.
A Kakao official said, "In addition to improving the friends tab, we are working on various UX and UI overhauls," adding, "We will continue to listen to and reflect diverse feedback to enhance user convenience."
