Hiding/blocking/deleting friends

Hiding accounts

When you hide an account on LINE:

• You can still receive chat messages from that account.

To hide an account:

1. From the Home tab, tap your friend list.

2. Tap and hold the name of the account that you want to hide.

3. Tap Hide > Hide.

To unhide a hidden account:

1. From the Home tab, tap Settings.
Note: Tap here to open the Settings menu from your smartphone.

2. Tap Friends.

3. Tap Hidden accounts.

4. Tap Edit next to the account you want to unhide.

5. Tap Unhide.

Note: It may take some time for the changes to be applied.

For more information about archiving chats, see this Help article.
