We are gradually rolling out the redesigned LINE app to provide an even better experience for our users.
Note: These changes are limited to users in Japan.
The following feature has been renewed.
Chats
- A Friends tab has been added to the top of the Chats screen, and the way some features are accessed has changed.
Useful info
- Tap See the changes to learn how to navigate the new Chats screen.
- Follow the on-screen instructions by tapping as directed.
- If you don't want to review the instructions right away, tap Later.
- Continue following the instructions until the end, or tap
at the top right of Brown, then tap Remove to exit the on-screen instructions.
If the new Chats screen is enabled for your account, you will see on-screen instructions featuring Brown, a LINE character.
The following changes will be rolled out, starting with some LINE accounts.
LINE VOOM/Shopping
- A Shopping tab will be added to the bottom navigation menu.
- The LINE VOOM service will be moved from the bottom navigation menu and be available under Services on the Home tab.
- Some features in LINE VOOM, including camera, themes, and hashtag search, will no longer be available.
Useful info
- We have gradually begun displaying the Shopping tab to users, but the Voom tab may temporarily reappear as our preparations continue.
- We plan to gradually expand the availability of the Shopping tab again as our preparations are completed.
Home
- The way some features are accessed will change.
- You'll be able to check notifications about friends, frequently used services, and trending topics all in one place.
- When you react to content that interests you, more content tailored to your preferences will appear.
We also plan to change how some features are accessed and where they appear as part of the ongoing redesign. For more details, see the related Help articles for each feature.
