When I post in the web version, the image is posted but the caption is not shown. I have been facing this problem for a long time.

It doesn't allow me to add friend or comment even send link I will be banned.,I have been banned more than 12 times

Amen, 2024-07-27

This is the worst social media app i've known. I got banned 3 times for unknown reason. The fact that i rarely open kakao, because most of my friends don't use it anymore. But it said my account has been banned because of spamming. Spamming what? I even not commenting to any post this year and 2023. I was using kakao since 2013 but it's getting worse in 2020.
