LINE

LINE is an instant messaging application and a platform with numerous functions available on various devices such as PCs, iPads, iPhones and Android phones, born in Japan after the March 2011 earthquake that caused a decrease in telephone services. South Korean NHN workers, who also own the Naver search engine, have developed LINE to communicate with each other. LINEA's operation is very similar to that of its rivals. The app searches for contacts already using the service in your address book and adds them directly even if you can later delete or include them simply by using your username. The application also allows the creation of contact groups. In addition, the ability to send messages is linked to making calls on the Internet, as well as other similar applications such as Skype.

In this application, there are 5 buttons located below the screen that work as a friends list, instant messages, news walls, free calls and collection of all LINE functions in order. In the Instant Messages tab, the user can view the history of their conversations with their friends, including the company's promotions added as friends online by the user. LINE also provides the service of notification of new news from friends in LINE through the third successive button of instant messages. Other LINE functions can be accessed from the last button in the main button collection on the screen. These features are stickers, LINE stores, calls, friends, LINE friends, gift items, the LINE game, the LINE camera, B612, the calendar and the payline.
