KakaoTalk
KakaoTalk (Korean: 카카오톡), commonly referred to as KaTalk (카톡) in South Korea, is an instant messenger and online services platform operated by Kakao Corporation. It was launched in 2010 and the app is available on mobile and desktop platforms.
KakaoTalk is the most popular instant messaging app in South Korea, and since its debut in March 2010, the service has captured around 90 percent of the local market. Originally designed for messaging, it has evolved into becoming a super-app providing mobile payments and banking, taxi hailing, games and others.
Kakao started with KakaoTalk, an instant messaging application in March 2010, and followed up with a social media network that integrated with the messenger app.
Kakao's next step into Korea's Lifestyle habits was to tap into one of the mobile gaming markets. The addition of Kakaogames allowed users to connect and play with their offline friends all through the convenience of the Kakao network.
Since then, Kakao has continued to expand its platform by providing a gift shop called Kakao gift. KakaoTalk was nominated for the Most Innovative Mobile App Award at the Global Mobile Awards 2014.
Kakao Pay is a mobile payment and digital wallet service by Kakao based in South Korea that allows users to make mobile payments and online transactions. The payment service first launched on 4 September 2014 with integration with their messaging app, KakaoTalk, allowing people to request and send money to people in their contacts.
Kakao has taken steps to make KakaoTalk a safer platform. In December 2020, KakaoTalk introduced Safebot, an AI-based comment-filtering function.
The company also rolled out an artificial intelligence (AI) recommendation function for the gift section, aimed at making it easier for users to send gifts whilst searching for items.
