I want to chat with ppl I'm not friends with but line is making so confusing for me to do so
★☆☆☆☆Krislynn Barbre· Dec 20, 2025
I would love this review 0 stars if possible. I have to use this app to log into Tsum. I had no problems with it for years until my phone crashed. Because I used my Facebook login to connect it, and they ended the connection I can no longer get into line through Facebook. I've tried my phone number, and it says I have to update my email and password but all it does is send me to how to do that but no links to fix it. It is basically unfixable. I have lost all my data for tsum now. -20/10
