Kakao Talk vs Telegram in our news:
2019. Telegram now allows to kill chat history
Telegram has added a feature that lets a user delete messages in one-to-one and/or group private chats, after the fact, and not only from their own inbox. The feature allows a user to selectively delete their own messages and/or messages sent by any/all others in the chat. To delete a message from both ends a user taps on the message, selects ‘delete’ and then they’re offered a choice of ‘delete for [the name of the other person in the chat or for ‘everyone’] or ‘delete for me’. Selecting the former deletes the message everywhere, while the later just removes it from your own inbox.
2014. Messenger Kakao Talk Begins adds encryption
Chat app Kakao Talk has introduced a new end-to-end encryption feature on the chat app following controversy around user data in recent months. The new Secret Chat mode is now available on Android devices with iOS set to follow soon. The new feature is activated in two ways: via a drop down menu inside existing chats or a dedicated button that launches a new Secret Chat. The feature is initially live for one-on-one conversations only, but it will become an option for group chats within the first three months of next year. The company also made a small privacy tweak to let users to leave group chats for good, preventing them from being re-added.
