KakaoTalk

KakaoTalk (also simply known as KaTalk) is a cross-platform instant messaging app that allows you to send text messages, files, images, and audio from the comfort of your PC. This client for Windows offers the same messaging features as the app for iOS and Android, but, as expected, it does not include some features exclusive to smartphones, such as the ability to make payments directly from the app.

Get access with your Kakao account

You'll need to sign up for a user account in order to use KakaoTalk. The simplest way to do this is through the smartphone app. You will need to enter your phone number and, once you've verified it, create a password with which you can comfortably access the Windows client. As an alternative, you can also log in using a QR code, a method that's pretty similar to the one used by WhatsApp. Whichever method you choose, once you log in, the app will remember your data, so you will be able to access it more quickly from then on.

Send messages to all your contacts

Thanks to KakaoTalk, you will be able to send messages to all your contacts. As is usual with this type of communication app, you will be able to write messages, plus attach emoji, stickers, images, files, audios, and more. You will also be able to make video calls and voice calls. The only requirement, of course, is that the other person also has an active Kakao account. In addition to private messages, you will also be able to create group chats in which dozens of people can communicate in a quick and convenient way.

Customize the app's behavior

One of the most important aspects of any desktop messaging app is that it's customizable, so it can adapt to how you use your PC. Luckily, KakaoTalk has many customization options. For example, you can choose which notification sound you prefer. Or, if you want, you can mute all notifications. You will also be able to choose where you want the message pop-ups to appear, which is located in the lower right corner of the screen by default. And, of course, you will also be able to customize its interface by choosing from various themes.

A powerful messaging app for Windows

Download KakaoTalk for Windows if you use the Android or iOS version of this app and want to keep all your conversations open when you're sitting in front of your PC. Thanks to this client, which is specially optimized for Microsoft's operating system, you will be able to send and receive messages from all your contacts and make video calls using your computer's webcam.
