LINE is a fun and reliable messaging app. I love the cute stickers, voice and video calls, and group chats. It makes staying in touch with friends really enjoyable!

★★★★★ Michael Dean · Apr 24, 2026

Best messenger program I love LINE best messenger I've ever used. I rarely even use SMS any more because of this lol

★★★★☆ youtuber maker · Oct 20, 2025

I give 4 stars because it supports only macOS, android and desktop but not support linux can you make it on flatpak or .deb file? I don't want to open phone every time someone chats or talk to me also you can continue make line extension chrome for linux and chromes

★☆☆☆☆ EJS Landscape gardening · Jun 26, 2026

★☆☆☆☆ Minnie · Apr 25, 2026

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

Trust & Safety: The app requests a broad set of permissions (including location, contacts, camera, microphone, storage, and account access) to support messaging, calls, and Wear OS features. Users should review permissions and privacy practices. LINE includes privacy features such as Letter Sealing to encrypt messages and call history, but the extensive permissions footprint warrants careful consideration of data handling and safety preferences.
