At a National Assembly audit, Kakao made remarks suggesting that 'technical rollbacks of KakaoTalk' are difficult, prompting users to express dissatisfaction. Kakao's position and whether it is really difficult to completely revert to an old version? A rollback refers to the act of reverting any process or state to a problem that occurs after a change occurs. In 2021, NCSoft changed the payment structure of the emblem system in its game 'Lineage M', which faced backlash from some heavy users , and even rolled back the game system to its previous state. In 2022, Meta implemented an update on Instagram that heavily posted 'recommended posts' in user feeds, but due to backlash and defections from key users, it ultimately rolled back the algorithm and some updates . It was decided to roll back. Kakao's claim that rollbacks are difficult appears to stem from concerns that a complete reset at the same level as the old version could cause server instability, which in such cases may require a system preparation process equivalent to a new update, such as stabilization tests. On the other hand, some argue that since the old version is running stably in the current server environment, a full rollback level should not be technically difficult. Because the system remains stable even with the old version, Some believe that redistributing only previous versions of the app may make the rollback process less complicated. Some have pointed out that business reasons, including advertising revenue, are the reasons for not doing a full rollback, but Kakao dismisses it as "not true." They drew a line. However, Kakao explained that while a full rollback is difficult, they will proceed with partial reverts such as restoring the Friends tab as before, and the process will be carried out in the form of additional updates, which is expected to be completed within the fourth quarter. The latest KakaoTalk 2.0 If it's a version, it means it's not reverting to 1.0, but version 2.1, and the update will revert features by removing only some features. A Kakao representative said, "Not only the Friends tab, but also new features like folderizing chat tabs and recording VoiceTalk mean it's difficult to force a new KakaoTalk version downgraded to the old version," ,,,In the end, it sounds like they don't want to do it,,,,, but if you clearly see users leaving quickly,,, they'll probably roll it back!!!!!
