What to Do When You Find Your Kakao Account Got Suspended

There's no doubt that finding your Kakao account suspended is frustrating. It is even more frustrating when there seems to be no rhyme or reason regarding why it was suspended in the first place.

If you have discovered that Kakao suspended your account, you're probably anxious. After all, how else are you going to stay connected to your loved ones? Luckily, you've found this comprehensive guide. Today, we're going to walk you through what to do if you find your Kakao account suspended, why the company suspends accounts, and how DoNotPay can help you solve the issue and get other accounts unbanned.

Why Would Kakao Suspend My Account?

There are a number of reasons why Kakao would suspend an account. One of the most common causes of account suspension is lack of activity. For instance, you may discover your Kakao account suspended if you have not used the service for 365 consecutive days.

Another explanation

Sometimes, Kakao accounts are not suspended because the user was inactive for a full year. Sometimes, Kakao will suspend your account because you tried to log in from a banned country.

Note, if you utilized the "Login Restricted by Country" service when you created your account, you will have on login the permitted country. Essentially, this is your home country. If you leave your home country, you must inform the company that your account will be accessed from a different country.

With that being said, you should be aware that you can only have three countries approved at once. If you have already approved three countries, but you need to travel to and communicate from another country, you will need to take the following steps:

• Log into your KakaoTalk app
• Navigate to Settings
• Navigate to Privacy
• Select Kakao Account
• Find and select Login Restriction by Country
• Delete one of your approved countries

Can I delete an authorized country online?

Yes, it is possible to delete an authorized country at accounts.kakao.com. You'll just need to take the following steps:

1. Navigate to Protect Your Account
2. Click on Login Restriction by Country
3. Delete one of your authorized countries

How Should I Proceed if Kakao Suspended My Account?

If your Kakao account is suspended, you will need to verify your identity via email. Once you have jumped through numerous hoops to prove that you are who you say you are, there is a chance that your account access will be restored.

With that being said, it was an algorithm that determined your account should be suspended in the first place. The best thing to do is to seek help.

What if I don't try to get my Kakao account activated again?

If you don't try to get your Kakao account activated again, your information will be stored securely. Just consider whether you really never want to access your account again. If you don't have any messages you want to look back on in the future, continue to enjoy your life without Kakao. Once your account has been inactive for four full years, all of your information will be deleted.
