KakaoTalk, fast and easy text messaging in real time

KakaoTalk is an application similar to WhatsApp for Smartphones. It allows you to easily chat with emoticons, exchange files, and specify your own location to the person you are talking to. It also offers you free calls to reach up to five people at the same time. The application features fun voice filters that you can apply to your voice during voice calls. For messaging, you can choose from animated emoticons. It makes it easy to manage your phonebook by integrating your contact list and automatically adding friends to your chat sessions once they're online.

The application is particularly popular in South Korea, where it is estimated to be installed on nearly 95 percent of smartphones. KakaoTalk is also used as a social network. It allows you to search for people using their names, numbers and email accounts. To strengthen security and privacy settings, users can use the end-to-end encryption system.
