Kakao said on the 16th that it will roll out an update to let users view their friend list directly from the KakaoTalk Friends tab.

With this update, users can set the friend list as the default view on the first screen of the Friends tab, and the grid-style feed format for the Friends tab introduced on Sept. 9 will be restored to the friend list after three months.

With this update, Kakao separated two options at the top—"Friends" and "News"—so users can select them to view the friend list or see feed-style updates from friends.
