Sending chat messages in LINE with Google Assistant

You can send 1-on-1 chat messages through Google Assistant without starting the LINE app. To do so, you need to allow the setting that adds your LINE friend information (names and profile photos) to your device's contacts.

Note: Turn ON Add LINE friends as contacts by agreeing to the pop-up that appears when you update the app or by following the steps under "Advance preparations" below.

This feature can be used with Android OS version 6.0 or later

Advance preparations
On your Android device:

1. Tap Settings > Accounts > LINE.

2. Tap Sync account and turn ON Sync Contacts.

In the LINE app:

1. Tap the Home tab > Settings > Google Assistant.

2. Turn ON Add LINE friends as contacts.

Note: Users in your device's contacts will not be added as your LINE friends.

To send chat messages in LINE with Google Assistant from your Android device:

1. Start Google Assistant and say "Send LINE".

2. Choose a recipient, enter your message, and then then say or type "Confirm." You can then check your sent message in LINE.

Note:

- English and Japanese are the only languages supported.

- The recipient's name will appear twice on the message pop-up: as it appears in your device's contacts on top, and as it's registered in LINE on the bottom.

To turn this feature off:

1. Start LINE and tap the Home tab > Settings > Google Assistant.

2. Turn OFF Add LINE friends as contacts.
