Important: The contents of this article only apply to LINE accounts created with LINE versions earlier than 13.11.0 if you're not using LINE in Hong Kong, Japan, Korea, Taiwan, or Thailand.
If a person with your mobile phone number registered in their device's contacts starts using LINE, they will automatically be added to your friend list.
Note: They will not be added automatically if you have the
Auto-add friends setting turned off on your smartphone.
If your phone number is not in the person's contacts, you will appear under Friend recommendations. In this case, your LINE display name, profile photo, status message, and profile cover photo will be visible, but the person won't be able to see any of your other information.
The only way to remove yourself from someone else’s friend recommendations is to delete the LINE account on your smartphone. Also, if you have already been added as a friend, you'll continue to appear in the person's friend list unless your account is deleted.
For information on deleting your account, see the following Help article.
