App is getting worse by time, I deleted day before and downloaded again, the new way of login is very frustrating, it asking me to send a verification text to a private phone number, the text isn't delivering, I tried several times,The OTP type login was very easy! please kindly fix the glitch. It would be better if there is an OTP login method instead of this update. PLEASE FIX THOSE GLITCHES..!!!!

Cannot verify my number even though I have done in the past. Can't do it neither on app or their request form. it just completely doesn't work. And what a stupid idea that my problem is to verify a number but ro put in request regarding this issue I also need ro verify the number and only email is not substantial. Just completely useless and support team isn't efficient can barely get ahold of them

Ever since the most recent update, my Kakaotalk randomly goes out (stops working) for an hour, a couple of times A DAY. It doesn't matter if I am on wifi or using data. I can use every other app with no interference; this is a Kakaotalk exclusive issue. Personally, I don't enjoy the Instagram-like update (and how the app opens on that page), but overall I would just like for the app to work.
