A must-see for LINE beginners! Four ways to add "friends" (2016 version)

Some of the people who will make their smartphone debut in April may be using LINE for the first time. This time, we will introduce how to add "friends", which is one of the basic functions of LINE (iOS / Android).

By the way, for those who don't know, LINE is an app that allows you to enjoy free calls and messages with your friends. Connect with your friends in a way that works for you.

The verification terminal is ASUS's "ZenFone 2 Laser", and the version of LINE is 6.0.3.

"ID search" is convenient for making friends with people who are far away. LINE can have one ID for one account, and you can set your favorite ID in "Settings" → "Profile" → "ID".

Can be set from Settings → Profile → IDGo to the input screen from "Search ID/Phone Number"

To add friends, click "Add Friends" ”→”ID/phone number search” to enter any ID. You can also add a phone number search. However, you must check "Allow ID search" from the settings.

In addition, since age verification is also required, cheap SIM users who are not contracted with a carrier cannot use the ID search.

The easiest way to add friends without age verification or face-to-face restrictions is to use a "QR code". Tap "Add friend" → "QR code" to display the QR code reader.

If the other person is in front of you, you can add them as friends by tapping "Display QR code" at the bottom right and scanning either QR code. Also, if the other person is far away, you can send them a QR code image and read the QR code from the "Library" on the bottom left to make them friends.

A Bluetooth button is also available on the screen where the QR code is displayed. You can also easily connect via Bluetooth.

One of the effective means of face-to-face communication is “Furu-Furu”. As the name suggests, you can easily add friends by simply shaking your device with someone nearby. However, the location information function must be turned on in advance.

If the other person is not yet using LINE, you can "invite friends to LINE" by SMS and email. Tap "Add Friends" → "Invite" to display the list of contacts, so tap any one.
