How to Submit a KakaoTalk Support Request
Kakao provides a dedicated online form for KakaoTalk questions.
The form allows customers to select categories including:
- General inquiries
- PC installation and login
- KakaoTalk Channel
- Verification code problems
- Open Chat
- Sign-up and unregistration
- Reports and restrictions
- Voice and video calls
- Talk Drive
- Suggestions and other issues
Customers enter an email address and telephone number so Kakao can identify the inquiry and provide a response. The form supports international country codes, including the United States and Canada.
Kakao may require telephone verification before an inquiry can be submitted.
Use the official KakaoTalk Question Form rather than sending account information to an email address found on an unofficial website.
Information to Gather Before Contacting KakaoTalk
Have the information relevant to the problem available before submitting an inquiry:
- Kakao Account email address
- Mobile phone number and country code
- Device type
- Operating system
- KakaoTalk app version when available
- Date the problem began
- Exact error or restriction message
- Whether the phone number or device recently changed
- Screenshots showing the problem
- Previous Kakao support inquiry information
Do not post passwords, verification codes, private chat messages, complete telephone numbers, identification documents, payment information, or other sensitive account information in a public review.
KakaoTalk Login and Kakao Account Problems
KakaoTalk relies on a Kakao Account for many account-management and recovery functions.
Customers who cannot remember their Kakao Account email address, telephone number, or password should begin with the official Kakao Account Help Center rather than creating multiple new accounts.
Use the Kakao Account Help Center for:
- Finding an account
- Finding or resetting a password
- Login problems
- Account theft
- Protective measures
- Identity verification
- Two-step verification
- Passkeys and country restrictions
- Deleting a Kakao Account
If the account information displayed during recovery does not appear to belong to you, stop the recovery process and use Kakao’s official support instructions.
KakaoTalk Verification Code Problems
KakaoTalk may require verification when registering a telephone number, changing devices, recovering an account, or completing certain security actions.
If a verification code does not arrive:
- Confirm that the correct country code and telephone number were entered.
- Check whether the mobile carrier can receive the required message.
- Review the KakaoTalk Help Center for the specific verification issue.
- Select Verification Code Related when submitting a KakaoTalk support inquiry.
Never give a KakaoTalk verification code to someone who contacts you claiming that they need it to provide support. Verification codes can be used to gain access to an account.
KakaoTalk New Phone or Phone Number Help
Changing a phone or telephone number can affect KakaoTalk login, verification, account identification, and stored conversations.
Before changing devices, review Kakao’s official New Device/Phone Number and Back up & Restore Chats instructions.
Do not assume that signing into a Kakao Account automatically protects every conversation or file stored on the old device.
If a device has already been replaced and information is missing, use the Help Center instructions that match the old and new devices and submit an inquiry if the standard recovery process does not work.
KakaoTalk Chat Backup and Restore
Kakao maintains a dedicated Back up & Restore Chats section in its Help Center.
Customers planning to:
- Replace a phone
- Reset a device
- Reinstall KakaoTalk
- Change a telephone number
should review the current backup instructions before making the change.
Use the official Help Center because available backup and restoration options can differ depending on the device, account status, chat type, and KakaoTalk features being used.
KakaoTalk Restricted or Suspended Accounts
Kakao may restrict KakaoTalk functions when activity violates its operation policies, when reports accumulate, or when Kakao identifies behavior that may interfere with the service or harm other users.
Restrictions can affect functions such as:
- Sending messages
- Posting or commenting
- Creating or joining chatrooms
- Search visibility
- Open Chat
- Other KakaoTalk functions
Kakao states that users can appeal service restrictions through Kakao Customer Service.
If you believe a restriction was applied incorrectly:
- Save a screenshot of the restriction notice.
- Note when the restriction began.
- Review the applicable KakaoTalk policy.
- Submit a question through the official customer-service form.
- Select Reports/Restrictions when that category applies.
- Explain why you believe the restriction should be reviewed.
Creating repeated inquiries may not necessarily speed up the review. Keep the original inquiry information and reply through the existing support process when possible.
How to Report Messages, Open Chats, or Abusive Content
KakaoTalk provides reporting functions inside the service for content that may violate its Operation Policy.
Depending on the type of chat or content, customers may be able to report:
- Messages
- Open Chat content
- User profiles
- Posts or comments
- Other publicly visible content
Kakao reviews reports and may apply service restrictions when content violates its policies.
For certain group-chat reports, reporting and leaving the room can delete the related conversation from the device. Save necessary evidence before completing the report when appropriate.
Use KakaoTalk’s Operation Policy for current information about prohibited activity, reporting, and service restrictions.
Hacked or Stolen KakaoTalk Account
If someone may have gained access to a Kakao Account:
- Attempt to secure the Kakao Account through the official recovery process.
- Change the account password if access is still available.
- Secure the email account connected to Kakao.
- Review unfamiliar account activity or devices when those options are available.
- Use Kakao’s official account-theft reporting process if necessary.
- Do not give verification codes to anyone offering account recovery.
Kakao warns that an account-theft report can result in the relevant Kakao Account and KakaoTalk service being immediately suspended while the matter is reviewed. Submit an account-theft report only for an account you believe has actually been compromised.
KakaoTalk Support Scam Warning
KakaoTalk users should be cautious of websites, social-media accounts, messages, or callers claiming to offer a special KakaoTalk support number or guaranteed account recovery.
Do not provide an unknown support representative with:
- Your Kakao Account password
- An SMS verification code
- A two-step verification code
- Remote access to your phone or computer
- Payment-card or banking information
- Cryptocurrency or gift-card payments
Use Kakao’s official Help Center and websites ending in kakao.com or kakaocorp.com for account assistance.
Deleting KakaoTalk and a Kakao Account
Deleting the KakaoTalk app from a device is different from completing Kakao’s account-deletion process.
Kakao provides separate procedures for deleting KakaoTalk and deleting a Kakao Account.
Customers who have already deleted KakaoTalk can manage Kakao Account deletion through the Kakao Account website under the applicable account-management settings.
Before deleting an account, consider whether you still need access to chats, purchases, account records, or other Kakao services linked to the same account.
KakaoTalk Customer Service Hours
Kakao does not currently publish one universal English-language customer-service schedule for KakaoTalk inquiries.
The online Help Center can be accessed at any time, but access to online information should not be confused with a guarantee that a human support agent will respond 24 hours a day.
Customers in the United States and other countries should use the online inquiry system and monitor the email address provided on the request for Kakao’s response.
