Users can also use their owned mini emojis as reactions. Even if a user does not own a particular mini emoji, they can use it by following a reaction registered by another user.

Subscribers to 'Emoticon Plus,' Kakao's paid monthly subscription emoji service, can react using mini emojis and also find expressions they want through a keyword search feature.

The Emoticon Store has also been newly revamped. New tabs for 'New' and 'Popular' have been added to the 'Emoticons' menu within the More tab. Favorite emoticon products can be saved with the 'Like' function, and search capabilities have been enhanced with the introduction of popular styles and emoji rankings.

To enable more natural conversations in open chat rooms, the company has also updated the open chat comment feature. Users can now reply to specific comments within open chat rooms.

Additionally, to make it more convenient to check recent call records, a 'Call' folder has been newly created at the top of the chat tab. The call folder allows users to view their Voicetalk and Facetalk history in one place.

The new features are available on KakaoTalk version 26.4.0 or higher.

A Kakao official stated, "We have improved various features so that users can enjoy a richer and more convenient communication experience within KakaoTalk," and added, "We will continue to upgrade our services based on user feedback moving forward."
