Only the people you have saved as your contact will know if you choose to notify them. As for groups they will automatically update with your new number.

Just information there has been people reporting that when someone changes their number the chat for the other person disappears.

Your Kakaotalk is, basically, your phone number if that's what you used to register it. Start a new account with your new number. Another option, and one that's even more useful than Kakao pay, is to get a Korean debit card and tell them you want to use it to make online purchases (and I'd recommend travel as well). Then you have to figure out your banks authentication mess .

After installing the new SIM, try uninstalling and reinstalling KakaoTalk. This is what worked when I switched from Korean to US number. Before that, I got into an endless verification loop.

Also, KakaoTalk might not allow a new device to be used with an existing account "for security and to prevent abuse" This should sort itself out after not 24/48 hours. They suggested not using KakaoTalk at all during that time.

Finally, try contacting their support via their website.

On your Profile page, tap the Settings button (the gear button in the top right corner). Tap your phone number (yes, just tap it). The phone number screen will come up. Tap the yellow "Change Phone Number" button.

This is how I did it when my phone number changed

Did you link your kakaotalk account with your email? You probably need that first before switching phone numbers

Hi, this is an old thread but wondering if anyone has any help/follow-up/experience on this?
I just changed my phone, and now I receive this notification on both phones which prevents me from backing up any of my chat data. Thank you,

I was still actively using my Kakao until I went to bed the night before and I woke up this morning to this message.

Note: I did not change my phone, I did not take my simcard out, I did not log into another device. I just finish the last message and went to sleep.

Question: What will happen if I click "Start Over"? Will I lose my data? I been trying to click "Later" but it keeps popping up in a loop and I cannot get out of it. I cannot send message, receive, or backup either.

Give them your email--a specific email you set up just for "socializing" different from your every day email. Or get a Google number.

"I'm in the middle of changing it. Here's an email for now."

Next month will make it a year that I deleted Facebook and I got rid of messenger last December and I still don’t regret it. It showed me who’s really my friend and who actually cares about my kids and I. It’s been REAL peaceful and TikTok is about to be the next one I’m gonna delete. It’s just idk, always negative and people always hating on everyone….. having positivity in my life is and will always be peaceful ☺️

I’ve been doing the same thing but for different reasons. Well I had good friends but I didn’t have a great time doing my own things when I was with them. I understand that they may not have the same interest as I do, but hanging out with them, chatting with them was taking away my time for self-improvement. I was getting way far back from their trendy TikTok knowledge and felt bad when I couldn’t take my time to conquer my dreams. I love to have them but sometimes, I need to walk alone. Enjoy your time buddy, you’re gonna feel refreshed 😆🧘🏻‍♀️

Yeah man cutting out the "digital tendrils" has given me a lot of mental clarity and focus, peace, freedom of mind. There are invisible chains that take up your brains processing with all of the different platforms to check up on and notifications binging and bopping.

yes

Once you just change your phone number you can just go to settings and press on phone number, and it will suggest to change it to new one

I have the same problem. No solution as of yet. I have lost all my chat history and friends... "Awesome" feature... Guessing it was done to allow anyone w a phone to just start using it and to not confuse the elderly...

Tengo mas de mes y medio intentando desde mi numero teléfonico que me llegue el codigo cuando lo intento, dice que recibiré un código de verificación en mi número de teléfono y cuando hago clic en Aceptar en lugar de ir a la pantalla "Ingresar código de verificación", me pregunta enviar un mensaje de verificación para verificar mi identidad. Envió ese mensaje varias veces, ya lo verifique con mi proveedor y puedo enviar mensajes internacionales correctamente. Cuando verifico la verificación, siempre dice "La verificación aún está en progreso" y después de un rato dice "Se ha producido un error temporal". Por favor, empieza de nuevo”. He intententado muchas veces acceder a kakaotalk, sin poder lograrlo he intentado registrarme después de varios días, pero sigue igual.

Hi, I'm trying to make an account on kakaotalk and I'm unable to because the verification sms just won't send. Anything which I can do?

Help

Mine worked after putting 00 at the front of the number, then just copy pasting the code.

How can I joined kakaotalk,I use my number several tim but I can't register because sending message is failde

No. This is Mackgawd. No

Kakaotalk really needs a cloud service if you made an account. It has a backup setting but really annoying to do.

you're out of luck unless you presaved the messages which it does not sound like you did

You cant if you didnt back it up.

Sadly, you have to back your Kakaotalk messages up before moving to a new device.
