1. Tap the QR code icon on the right side of the search bar >
My QR code, or tap
here from your smartphone.
2. Have your friend scan your QR code with their QR code reader.
To add a friend using their QR code:
1. Tap the QR code icon on the right side of the search bar, or tap
here from your smartphone.
2. Scan your friend's QR code.
3. Tap Add.
Note: The search bar appears at the top of the Home and Chats tabs.
You can also send your QR code via email by tapping the Add friends icon >

this Help article.
Important: If your QR code is leaked, anyone using LINE will be able to add you as a friend. Take care not to share your QR code with people you don't know.
If you want to prevent people you don't know from being able to add you as a friend, you can deactivate your current QR code by tapping Regenerate on the My QR code screen.
