KakaoTalk UI design & app screens

KakaoTalk is South Korea's dominant messaging app, extending into payments, shopping, and a wide ecosystem of services. It's everyday communication infrastructure for most Koreans.

The interface is a reference for messaging-led super-app design: friends lists and chats, expressive emoticons and the beloved Kakao Friends characters, gifting, and embedded services. Designers study its chat experience, sticker and theme customization, and the way it branches from messaging into a broad lifestyle platform.
