[bs_lead]Like science? Like experiments? Like...new features?![/bs_lead]
In the latest update for Android, we’ve introduced Kakao Lab, a new project located in your Settings tab. The Kakao Team has been busy at work creating a place where experimental features can be tested within KakaoTalk. By tapping Kakao Lab, you’ll be able to see the featured experiments and try them out for yourself! As they are experiments, however, the Kakao Team may adapt and change them depending on the results! However, if you do get hooked on a feature--let us know! The features that get the most love are likely to stick around! You can leave our Kakao Team some feedback here.
