The KakaoTalk Settings menu is a lot like a dashboard for your KakaoTalk. In case you didn’t know about all the stuff you can manage and customize from this menu, I, Frodo, have got you covered.
First of all, the top of the Settings menu displays the Version. This is important to check from time to time, to make sure you’re using the latest version. You’ll also see a Kakao Lab menu for Android. (iOS users, Kakao Lab is coming soon for your device!)
