Basic Functions of LINE and Instructions of Use
Basic Function of LINE
LINE has two main basic functions:
- Making voice calls to friends
- Exchanging text messages with friends
One of the key features of LINE messaging is that you can send big stickers and stamps (called “stamps”) which SMS doesn’t offer. You can even make a conversation only using those stickers and stamps, as the collection can speak and express what you couldn’t fully express with words and/or face marks.
LINE Apps
You can also enjoy apps on LINE. Numerous game apps have been released, which experienced over 200 million downloads according to total sum as of September 2013. With online games becoming extremely popular, being able to play games on the app that people use everyday drives more users to the game apps than the standalone version.
