About LINE

LINE is a messaging and digital services platform that enables users to communicate through text messages, voice calls, video calls, and multimedia sharing. Launched on June 23, 2011, LINE was developed in Japan to provide reliable communication following the 2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami. It has since grown into one of the most popular communication platforms in Asia, serving millions of users across multiple countries. The platform offers a wide range of features beyond messaging, including group chats, stickers, voice and video calls, timeline posts, official business accounts, and services such as LINE Pay, LINE VOOM, LINE Shopping, LINE Games, and LINE News in supported markets. Businesses can use LINE Official Accounts to engage with customers, send promotional messages, and provide customer support, while developers can integrate LINE Login and messaging APIs into their applications. Today, LINE is part of LY Corporation, a company formed through the integration of LINE Corporation and Yahoo Japan under the A Holdings group. The platform continues to play a significant role in digital communication and online services by combining messaging, payments, entertainment, commerce, and business tools into a single ecosystem, making it a central part of everyday digital life for millions of users.
