TL;DR To send a message on KakaoTalk, ensure you have an active account and internet connection. If facing issues, try force stopping the app, clearing cache, or contacting KakaoTalk support.
Account Setup and Restrictions
Some users have reported difficulties in sending messages due to user protection policies that prevent messaging users they haven't previously chatted with [3:1],
[4:1]. This is a measure to protect users from unsolicited messages. If you encounter this issue, it may resolve itself over time or after your account has been inactive for a period
[3:1].
Technical Issues and Solutions
For technical issues where messages fail to send, especially on Android devices using T-Mobile, a common solution involves force stopping the app, clearing cache and data, uninstalling, restarting the phone, and then reinstalling KakaoTalk [2:1]. Some users found success using a VPN when their cellular network was causing issues
[2:4].
Contacting Support
If these steps do not resolve the issue, contacting KakaoTalk support via email can be helpful [1:1]. Users have reported that their messaging capabilities were restored after reaching out to support.
Managing Spam Messages
For those dealing with spam messages, KakaoTalk offers features to block unwanted contacts and marketing push notifications [5:1],
[5:2]. You can block spam by accessing the chat room, tapping the profile picture, and selecting the block option (차단)
[5:6]. Pinning important chat rooms can help ensure you don't miss messages from friends or coworkers
[5:3].
Additional Recommendations
Ensure your app is updated to the latest version, as updates often fix bugs and improve functionality. Additionally, check your internet connection, as a stable connection is necessary for sending messages on KakaoTalk.
Hello! I just started using kakaotalk a few says ago and it doesn¨t let me send any messages! I can have an open chat, I cant message people first and I cant join groups, someone said that I should start a chat with the support but I dont know how to do it, i would appreciate some help :(
I’ve been having the same issue!
Hello! I send an email to kakaotalk support and, the next day I was able to send messages and everythin
How and where do you contact them? I'm having the same issue.
That’s great!
I've been having this issue since maybe a week or two ago? Originally, it would start off with my messages in my group chats being very slow to send but it would eventually go through. This didn't happen very often so I was able to brush it off as a slight inconvenience, but now I'm not able to send any messages at all. Anytime I sent a message, it would just not go through.
So I force stopped the app (I have a samsung), and when that didn't work, I uninstalled and reinstalled it but that seems to have made the problem worse. Now I can't access my group chats even though I still get the notifications for them?? The notification banner would appear, but everytime I try to click on it to transfer me over to the groupchat, it would just pull up my kkt homepage instead.
Has anyone had a similar problem recently or have any ideas on how to fix it? Much thanks!
I GOT IT TO WORK
Can't belive the most simple solution worked. Guys, if you are on T mobile on an android phone, I think you can fix the issue by forcing kakao to stop, clear cache and data, Uninstall, restart phone, then reinstall kakao. It worked for me, hopefully it stays this way.
I did the same thing but its only work for a few like 5 minutes.. and as my screen turn off , i couldn't send messages anymore.. idk if this happened to you too
Hmm haven't noticed it being weird again. I was able to use it all day
This worked. Thanks for sharing!
I did it, but now it deosn’t reinstall 😭😭
Nevermind I got it
Did you wait a while (like an hour, etc.) before reinstalling? Or was all of this done right after another?
Right after another
Eu não consigo mais usar o kakaotalk
I'm on tmobile. Pixel 3. Only works on wifi. On lte it's receive only.
I've cleared cache, data, uninstalled, reinstalled, reboot.
Only way I got it to work is if I use my private internet access vpn. So must be some tmobile glitch.
I also have the same, but with voice memos.
Iphone with T-mobile seems to work fine.. Something's wrong with Android with T-mobile for sure..
i tried messaging my friend but it just said i can’t message users i’ve never talked to before due to user protection policy? but when someone messaged me before i was able to respond.. how do i fix this?
Getting this error too and it's frustrating.
Im looking for an answer to this as well. I heard that some people left their account alone for some time and it automatically fixed itself. I haven't touched my account since November, and im too nervous to message someone and then it resets itself or something. I tried contacting Kakao, but no help.
" Measures have been taken to protect KalaoTalk users. You cannot send messages to users you have not chatted before etc".
Are you two actual friends or only in a secret chat together?
In the last year or so, my kakao has gotten out of hand. I get spam all the time, and the spam is all in Korean, so I have (without meaning to) developed this sort of reflex of just ignoring Korean messages coming in. But what has started happening is that I'm starting to miss messages from important people. I have Korean friends and coworkers who message me in a mix of Korean and English and if they happen to use Korean, it's kind of a 50/50 shot that I'll actually see it.
There's got to be a way to block or stop these messages (literally, I get dozens of them every day) so I can actually see the important messages when they come in. I've looked up how to block, but that only seems to apply to people on my friends list. I'm talking -- I'm getting messages from Samsung, and Burger King and stuff, these are not 'friends', this is spam. How do I stop it?
Thanks!
What’s happening is that you haven’t turned off marketing push notifications from when you sign up for these websites and they will send messages constantly now
In Kakao, click the home button on the business chat - then find 체널 차단 and it blocks the marketing spam
There's also a function that allows you to pin the chat rooms you want so that you don't miss their messages. How about using this ? As for the spam, like you said, Samsung or Burger King things.. every though I exit those chat rooms, they just keep sending it repeatedly, which is so annoying. When you enter the chat rooms, you can click on the profile, and you'll find a button to block them
Turn off notifications and exit the chat rooms.
There’s definitely a block feature for all contacts on Kakao, including the business ones. Pretty sure it’s at the top right of the chat room. If it’s Korean, block is 차단
the issue is these messages are not from people in my contacts. it's spam. They aren't in my contacts. I literally just clicked on everything looking for block or 차단, and it's just not there.
Is it possible for you to post/DM a screenshot without like doxxing yourself? I never get messages from people I don’t know, but I’ll help you find the option if I can
Are they ads from open channels? You can block them by opening the chatroom, tapping the pfp, tapping the 💬 with a ch in it, and blocking them.
My Kakao works fine when I'm on wifi, but it can't do anything when I'm on data. Does anyone else have this problem? I'm on T-Mobile.
Kakao has announced that T-Mobile(Sprint) users have been having issues and they released a possible solution to this.
what is the solution??
I honestly forgot what it was 💀
I have the same problem too. I hope they resolve this issues soon.
Mine started working today. Hope everyone else's has been fixed as well.
I have the same problem. On android samsung galaxy.
Mine just started working. Go to settings and scroll down to kakaotalk app, and in there turn on cellular data and it should work
I got this message on my Kakaotalk a few weeks ago but I didn’t see it until now. Can someone tell me what exactly this means? What am I supposed to do here? I checked on papago but not much help
All advice will be highly appreciated!
This is a document issued by the National Tax Service of the Republic of Korea. It contains information about taxes.
You probably received a call on your verified phone number because you’re required to file your comprehensive income tax return. You can file it either online or by phone. If your income isn’t high, you’ll likely get a refund.
It tells you to read the notice on your tax return. Do you have any income in Korea other than working income? For freelancers, private businesses, and monthly rent as a building owner. You have to file a final report on your income by the end of July. If you can't do it alone, so visit a tax office.
I don’t have any working or freelancing income at the moment. I did do a “summer camp mentor” type of gig last August though, could it be a tax refund for that? It was my first time with that gig and it is also my first time getting this message
If you had a small income last year, it would be refundable.
It's a tax refund for the 3.3% automatically deducted from your earnings(종합소득세), it's automatically issued in march. You can just open the notice, click through the tax filing and you should probably get a small return
I recommend using Google Translate to quickly translate phone screenshots from KR to EN in order to get the gist of things while living in Korea. This Google translation is good and tells you everything you need to know: https://imgur.com/a/zKIujf4 I have Papago installed as well on my phone, but I mainly use it for EN to KR when I need to more accurately type in Korean in Kakaotalk msgs.
So I just became my coop leader when my old leader left. I cannot for the life of me figure out how to send a all coop message besides the basic chat
I advise you to create a watt group from your Coop
Whats that..🤔
Create a WhatsApp group just with people from your cooperative.
You can't do that anymore
We are recruiting people for Coop if they are interested, but we are super Active and Organized. Our Coop is called WARRIORS, WE ARE AMONG THE 10 BEST IN BRAZIL
You are 13th in Brazil, I can see the ranking cause my coop is 8th 😉hollow creek for the win!
That feature was taken away with the recent update. The chat window is now the only way we have to communicate.
Ugh
How it works:
A one (1) paragraph message translated to the language of the recipient will be guaranteed in delivery. There are no limits or restrictions to what the message can contain other than your standard paragraph length (half a page). The message will be translated to era-relevant media - for example, if it's sent to the 1700s, it will be sent on paper through neutral courier, if it's sent to grandpa in the 1960s - it will be received by Us Diplomatic Courier Service, if it's sent to Captain Picard on the Enterprise, it will be received as a Priority Starfleet Transmission, and if it's sent to Sarah Connor before the Terminator arrives in 1984, it will arrive as Fedex priority message.
ANY fictional changes WILL change the tv show/movie/comic book/book accordingly.
What do you send and who to?
I’d send it to my grandpa, and tell him about my kids. And how much I love him and miss him.
I’m going to send a message to myself around age 14. I’m going to try to urge myself to take better care of myself regarding diet and exercise. Also I’m going to say to keep an eye on tech stuff around 2010 and to try to gather up as much Bitcoin as possible. I’ll put specific info in about the 10k Bitcoin pizza transaction and see if I can be the one to get that. I think if I worked at it I could condense that to half a page.
I am an incredibly selfish human being, so I would send my past self instructions on how to avoid my concussion.
Can I send it to myself in the past?
Of course.
sigh.. Bitcoin. Always bitcoin
Agreed. it gets old hearing.
