If you have your previous device and can use LINE (you can chat and use other features), we recommend using an easy transfer QR code to transfer your LINE account.
Simply scan the QR code that appears on your previous device with your new device, then follow the instructions to finish transferring your account. Also, the last 14 days of your chat history will be restored even if you haven't backed up your chat history or are transferring your account to a different OS. ![]() |

If you're unable to log in with the information of another account, try logging in with your phone number. If you're unable to log in with a phone number or an Apple ID/Google account, you won't be able to transfer your LINE account. In this case, please sign up for a new LINE account. ![]() |

Before transferring your LINE account, you need to make some preparations on your device.
Check your registered information
On the device you're currently using LINE on, make sure you have a current phone number, current email address, and password registered to your account. For the steps to check/change your information, see the Help articles below.
Note: If you can't back up your chat history to iCloud Drive/Google Drive or if you're transferring your account to a new device with a different OS, you can automatically transfer your history from the last 14 days by setting a backup PIN beforehand.
Turn on the Skip 2-step authentication setting
Turn on the Skip 2-step authentication setting only if you plan on transferring your LINE account:
• With a phone number that's different from the one currently registered to your account. (Only for users in Hong Kong, Japan, Korea, Taiwan, and Thailand.)
• Using your Apple ID or Google account.
For the steps to turning on the Skip 2-step authentication setting, see the following Help article.
