South Korea’s Kakao Corp has recently released an update to its KakaoTalk app for desktop, adding a number of new features and tweaks that are sure to keep KakaoTalkers happy through the rest of the year.
The new update, version 1.1.3.446, adds a new “file box” feature where you can share multimedia content — including photos, videos, voice notes, and documents — and be able to download those that are shared with you by your friends. Take note, though, you’ll have two weeks to download this content from your file box before it is no longer available.
