In the event of a severe earthquake or other large-scale disaster, LINE Safety Check lets you and your friends update your safety statuses to tell each other how you're doing.
Note: We may change the conditions for displaying LINE Safety Check based on our monitoring of situations.

LINE Safety Check will appear at the top of the Home tab only in the event of a disaster in the following circumstances.

LINE Safety Check

• Banner 1 appears if a disaster occurs in the country of the phone number you registered to LINE.
• Banner 2 appears if a disaster occurs in a country where one or more of your friends have registered their phone numbers to LINE and they have registered their safety statuses.
