Setting up the transfer

01.Enter your phone number and then enter the code you receive via text message

Enter the phone number of your current smartphone (or the one you will be using) and you will receive a text message with a verification number. The account transfer process will begin once you enter the verification number.

02.Select the option to transfer your account

If you will be using your LINE account with your new phone number, please select the option to transfer your account on this screen.

If you confirm an account that does not belong to you...

If the new phone number is connected to someone else's LINE account, you may see a welcome message displayed for an account that is not yours.If this happens, please answer the question "Is this your account?" with "No, that's not me" in order to use your account. Selecting "No, that's not me" will provide other options to log in to your account.

  • Note: Even if you select Yes, you will be unable to log in to another person's account if you do not enter the correct password.

Since the phone number linked to your device has been used previously, the LINE account for the previous owner may be displayed. Please note that your account is safe as long as you have properly managed your password.

03.Select a login method

If your phone number has changed, you can transfer your LINE account by using either your previous phone number or your registered email address.Please use one of them to log in to your account. (You can still transfer your account even if you cannot use your previous phone number.)

05.Add friend settings

By enabling these settings, LINE can access your phone number and device contacts in order to add new friends.

06.Carry over your chat history!

You're almost finished with the account transfer! Next, transfer the chat history from your previous device. On the confirmation screen, the latest backup data will be displayed, so check its contents and then begin the restoration process.

  • Note: If you do not restore your chat history at this time, you will be unable to restore it again in the future (this applies to iOS devices only; Android devices can restore chat history at any time).
