Hello, dear teachers! Can someone please explain to me the difference between the phrases: “talk to you soon” and “talk to you later”? Where to use them?

They are both correct. Usually talk to you soon is written in a letter when you haven't spoken to that person a while and talk to you later is to end a conversation.

Talk to you soon implies in the near future; talk to you later could mean not necessarily in the near future. However, both are used generally to indicate you will talk to the person at another time in the near future.
Both, would be fine. It depends on the situation or your relationship with person.

Hello CapSparrow , both are perfectly fine. Talk to you later is more specific , which means the speaker is giving a more definite time line to get back to you but talk to you soon can mean any given point in time in the future or never .
Both are equally acceptable
you can use that both if you are comfortable
Both is correct.
Hey, CapSparrow😇 They are both correct. Usually, you can use ''talk to you soon " when you will contact a person soon, but ''talk to you later '' could be used later in a day. I hope my tip is useful for you )☺️
Both are correct and polite. They are informal ways to end a conversation either in person, by text, or by e-mail.
