Also, if you or your friend turn the "Allow others to add me" setting ON, your chat room may be recreated and appear at the top of your chat list.
If a chat with a friend you haven't messaged recently appears at the top of your chats, it may be because that friend turned their "Allow others to add me" setting ON.
Rest assured that this message does not mean an account is being impersonated or has been stolen.

If you're having issues restoring your chat history, it may be due to one of the following reasons.
• The Import chat history option does not appear
From LINE version 9.1.0, there is no longer a feature to back up and import your chat history from inside a chat. If Import chat history does not appear, you won't be able to import chat history saved on an SD card or LINE Keep.
• You didn't download the backup file from Keep
If you saved the backup file to Keep on LINE, you'll need to download it from Keep and save it to your new device after transferring your account.
• The backup file wasn't saved in the right location
Files created by selecting Back up all data are saved on either an SD card or your device.
If you're unable to import (restore) your chats, you'll need to manually move the relevant file to the folder titled "LINE_backup" on the device you want to restore your chat history on.
Please use a file managing app or connect your device directly to your PC to access the backup files and move them.
Note:
- If this folder doesn't exist, please create one.
- You will not be able to restore your chats if you did not select Back up all data from the Back up chat history option.
If you're not sure how to create folders or move files, please contact your device manufacturer.
• Your device doesn't have sufficient memory or your system specs are too low
The app may freeze or crash if your device doesn't have enough memory or the specs are too low. Please delete any unnecessary data and restart your device before trying again.
With multi-person chats, you can start chatting with multiple friends right after being invited.
Compared to groups, the features you can use are limited, but multi-person chats offer the advantage of letting you easily create chat rooms with multiple friends.

1. On the Chats tab, tap the speech bubble icon at the top right of the screen.
2. Tap Create chat.
3. Choose the friends you want to chat with, then tap Create.
Multi-person chats are group-like chat rooms created by inviting friends to a 1-on-1 chat.
With normal groups, a user that was invited cannot participate in the group unless they select Join. However, with multi-person chat rooms, you can immediately start chatting with friends who were invited.
Multi-person chats easily allow you to communicate with a number of friends; however, features found in 1-on-1 and group chats (such as Notes and Albums) cannot be used.
If you'd like to share things like information and photos with friends in a multi-person chat room, we suggest making a group out of that multi-person chat.
1. Tap the menu icon at the top of the chat screen > Other settings.
2. Tap Create group.
3. Select the friends you want to add and tap Next.
4. Enter a name, set a profile photo, and then tap Create.

Key fingerprints are unique encryption keys that Letter Sealing gives to each user so they can send messages to one another safely and securely.
Note: The actual keys are kept secret and will not appear in LINE chats.

Letter Sealing is a feature that provides end-to-end encryption (E2EE) for chat messages. E2EE is a communication system designed so that messages saved on our servers are encrypted and cannot be read by anyone except the sender and receiver of the message.
Once the sender and receiver have both turned on Letter Sealing, they will be able to start sending messages with added security.
The following information will be encrypted:
• Text messages (not including messages sent through other services like Clova or YouTube)
• Location information
• 1-on-1 voice/video calls
Note: We plan to expand Letter Sealing’s functionality in the future.
If you use LINE for PC after turning on Letter Sealing, you'll be required to verify your identity the first time you send a message.
For information about verifying your identity to use Letter Sealing on LINE for PC, see this Help article.
Letter Sealing will be turned ON for the initial setup.

The name of an official company account has a gray, blue, or green icon next to it. To make sure that a notification message is from an official account, check to make sure it has an icon with one of these colors.
Notification messages let you receive helpful information without having to add the official accounts of individual companies.

Only notification messages that we have determined to be valid and appropriate are sent out to users, and messages will not be sent for the purpose of advertising.
How notification messages work
First, a company sends a message transmission request to LINE's servers based on a customer's phone number. A notification message is then sent to the account of the LINE user with that phone number registered.
The phone number sent from the company is hashed, and the information that LINE Corporation receives is only used for the purpose of verifying the message recipient, after which it is promptly deleted.
There may be times when we need to verify your identity via text message before we can send a notification or in order to confirm notification content which includes your personal information.
Requirements for sending notification messages
Notification messages are sent when they meet the three requirements below:
• The phone number sent from the company matches one registered to an existing LINE account.
• The LINE account has the Receive notification messages setting turned ON.
• The LINE account has not blocked the official account of the company sending the notification message.
Notifications for incoming and outgoing voice and video calls may not appear correctly depending on the strength of your device's signal. Please be sure to use a stable network connection.
You may also have issues if your notification settings are not correct. For more information, see the following Help articles:
Please see this Help article for information about the recommended system specifications for free voice and video calls offered by LINE.
Note: These calls are not supported by devices with Intel Atom processors.
Since you may be charged for the data used during calls if you're using a 3G or 4G network, we recommend using a flat-rate data plan. If the call quality is low, please try using a Wi-Fi connection.
Calling or chatting with users on different mobile service carriers is also free. LINE will not charge you, even if you are calling a friend in a different country or using the service while you are traveling.
However, like all other apps, you will be charged by your mobile service carrier for the data that you use. Depending on your price plan, you may be charged each time you connect to LINE, so we recommend using a flat-rate data plan.
Note: With a flat-rate data plan, you will generally not be charged additional data fees when using a 3G, LTE, or Wi-Fi connection. For more details, check with your mobile service provider.
Bluetooth devices can be used with LINE. Please understand, however, that we cannot guarantee such devices will work properly, as they rely on the performance of your smartphone.
You can use effects and filters for video calls with the following system specifications.
Android
Devices running Android OS 4.4 or later (excluding some devices)
iOS
iPhone 6 or later
iPad Air or later
iPad Mini 4 or later
Even if you meet the requirements above, you may not be able to use effects and filters depending on the performance of your device. If these features can't be used on your device, the smiley face icon will not appear.
Also, make sure that the "Disable additional video call features" setting is turned off by following the steps below.
1. Tap the Home/Friends or More tab > Settings.

If your phone number appears as unknown when making calls, it may be because:
• There is a restriction due to the recipient’s device or carrier
Your caller ID depends on the recipient’s device. For some device models, your name will appear as it's registered in the device's contacts list. On other devices, your phone number may appear in an international format or as an unknown number.
Also, if the mobile service provider of the person you're calling has caller ID spoofing countermeasures in place, your phone number will appear as unknown or private, even if you've verified your number to allow others to see it.
Note: To find out if a mobile service provider is implementing caller ID spoofing countermeasures, we ask that you contact them directly.
• You didn't verify your phone number
If you don’t see a phone number at the top of the screen after going to the Friends or More tab > Settings > LINE Out, it means that your phone number hasn't been verified and will appear as unknown.
For help with verifying your phone number, see the following Help article:
To enable caller ID, you need to verify your phone number.
You can verify your phone number by following the steps below.

• Update to the latest version of the LINE app here.
• Restart your device.
• Make sure there are no restrictions on your internet connection speed.

If you're still having issues after trying the troubleshooting tips above, please contact us via the Inquiry Form.
There is no basic monthly charge for LINE Out; you pay only for the calls you make.
However, as with any other app, using LINE Out will use your data packets. Depending on your price plan, you may also be charged each time you connect to LINE. For this reason, we recommend using a flat-rate data plan.

For example, if you call a region that costs 3 Credits per minute for 3 minutes, you'll be charged 9 Credits. This is rounded up to 5 Coins (equivalent to 10 Credits).
Note: The exchange rate for LINE Coins and Call Credit is subject to change.
To allow payments with Coins:
1. On the Friends or More tab, tap Settings.
2. Tap LINE Out > Purchase Call Credit.
3. Check the box next to Use LINE Coins for LINE Out.
Tap here to go to LINE Out Settings on your smartphone.
