AWESOME.Īnd this is what I did entirely using the app. I like how you can directly send the photos to a wide variety of social media services. It works seamlessly with LINE – pressing the icon in LINE brings you to the LINE CAMERA app and after you are done with it, click ‘send to LINE’ and you are brought back to the convo. Loving the the Negative filter and all the brushes!!! *goes crazy* Although I was initially disappointed that it is a separate app instead of a feature in LINE, I think it is a good idea. It has all the fun of a neoprint machine and you get to save on money!! 7000won. if only there are more Korean LINE users……….Īnother point for LINE! The camera is essentially a photo sticker machine and I love how you get everything – filters, borders, stamps, brushes, text input.
Kakaotalk vs line update#
‘I am really sad that LINE does not offer short voice messages.’ I was about to say this when I realize that the newest update to LINE finally includes the much-appreciated feature!!! *punches air* One more reason for me to switch over to LINE completely. I am known to be a spammer and being able to type quickly on the keyboard seems to motivate me to send loads of messages across like an MSN chat. It lags sometimes but I am generally happy with it. No need for login details, although you can choose to do it that way.
Kakaotalk vs line code#
Downloaded it for my macbook and was able to login quickly by scanning the QR code with my phone. I love how LINE can also be accessed using the computer. Kakaotalk pales in comparison, although they have upgraded their emoticon set to include animated gifs, it feels like of strange cos of the border – would much prefer borderless stickers in LINE. I like how they do not restrict themselves to the plain emoticons (they have a wonderful set too) but go beyond that to create stickers that are actually useful and often conveying stuff that are common feelings / situations etc. You can literally have a meaningful conversation just by sending stickers to and fro. When it comes to LINE, the best part of it is of course, the emoticons. I am actually kind of glad to see it missing in both apps.īut they differ in additional features. So it sucks to see the person typing … and then stopped.
I still remember Tik Tok having the more creepy useful feature where you can see if the other party is typing a message at the moment. Both tells you if the other party (or how many in a group chat) has read the message. Although I admit that I have both apps – Kakaotalk to communicate with Korean friends LINE almost exclusively for group chats with my best friends.īoth apps are in essence, very similar. Curious as to why NHN Japan instead of NHN Korea. Both are technically Korean apps, but LINE is technically produced by NAVER JAPAN, a subsidiary of NAVER – Korea’s most popular search engine. I feel like I am in my own world.īut in other regions where neither is dominant, it is interesting to do a comparison of the services and how they might fare. Sucks to be a foreigner in Korean without constant access to 3G. And dare I say at around 4-5 will be using Kakaotalk? As many of you might have heard, Kakaotalk has become the ‘default’ communication tool among Koreans. Look around in the subway train, where 7 out of 10 are typing furiously on their smartphones. Kakaotalk trumps all the other apps (LINE, Tik Tok, Whatsapp etc), mostly due to a first mover advantage (in my opinion). Actually, not much of a battle in Korea where Kakaotalk is the dominant app.
