With this update, users can now easily hide posts they do not wish to see in the Friends tab news feed. If you want to hide a particular post, you can select "Hide Post" from the More menu to exclude updates from specific friends in your feed.

You can adjust the exposure of the feed while maintaining your friendship, allowing you to focus more on updates from friends you are interested in. The hide post setting can be changed or canceled at any time. You can also re-expose hidden friends in the "Manage Hidden Friends" section under the friends menu in settings.

FaceTalk Call Recording Support... AI 'Kanana' Conversation Summary Feature

Additionally, with this update, call recording is now supported in FaceTalk. Previously, call recording was only available in VoiceTalk, but now users can record up to 30 minutes during one-on-one FaceTalk calls. After the call ends, you can use the Kanana AI-powered summary feature to systematically document and manage important information.

This update also allows users to set notifications for each comment in open chats. You can turn off notifications for new replies to comments you have participated in, or turn on notifications for comments you have not participated in, enabling you to customize comment alerts as you wish.

Expanded Convenience Features: Emoticon Discovery Tab and Improved Talk Cloud Screen

A new Discovery tab has been added to the emoticon keyboard. You can now easily view free emoticons provided every Monday, personalized recommended emoticons, and the real-time popular ranking all at a glance.

The Talk Cloud home screen has also been revamped. Enhanced photo and file browsing features now allow you to check sent and received photos, files, and links directly from the home screen. Useful features such as people classification and drive have been arranged to improve accessibility and ease of data management.

A Kakao representative explained, "We are enhancing convenience features so that users can manage KakaoTalk more efficiently and conveniently."
