Using All albums to view all of your albums at once

The All albums feature lets you check all of your albums from various chats.

The albums displayed in All albums include:
• Albums created in 1-on-1 chats with friends.
• Albums created in groups that you're a member of.
• Albums from hidden/deleted 1-on-1 and group chats.

The albums you can see in All albums will differ depending on your friend or group membership status at that time. If a friend deletes their LINE account, you'll still be able to see albums in your chat with them, but the albums will not appear in All albums. Similarly, if you're no longer a member of a group (because you left or were removed from it), the albums created in that group will not be displayed in All albums.

Also, All albums shows up to 1,000 albums from chats where photos were uploaded.

To use the All albums feature, see the steps below.

To check from the Chats screen:
Tap the Chats tab > All albums (the folder icon) at the top of the screen.

To check from a chat:
1. Tap the menu icon at the top of a chat > Albums.
2. Tap All albums (the folder icon) at the top right of the screen.

Regardless of the album, you can view all of your photos by selecting Photos. Choosing a photo and clicking See album under it will take you to the album that includes the relevant photo.

Tapping the reorder icon to the right of the Albums tab lets you reorder albums by Recently uploaded or Recently created.

On LINE for iOS/iPad, you can change the displayed size of albums or photos by pinching your screen to zoom in and out on the Albums and Photos tabs.
Note:
- Changing the displayed size of albums and photos changes the number of rows and columns they're displayed in.
- Changes to the displayed size of albums/photos and the displayed number of rows/columns are saved.
