You can add contacts to the LINE app by searching for them using their phone number. This method allows you to find friends on LINE who have registered their account with a specific phone number.
Adding Friends via Phone Number Search
Adding a friend by their phone number is a straightforward process within the LINE app. This method requires you to know the exact phone number your friend uses for their LINE account registration.
Follow these steps to add a contact using their phone number:
-
Navigate to the Add Friends Screen:
- Open the LINE app on your smartphone.
- Tap the Home tab (usually represented by a house icon).
- Tap the Add friends icon (often looks like a person with a plus sign, located near the top right). This action takes you to the Add friends screen.
-
Select the Search Option:
- On the Add friends screen, tap Search.
-
Choose Search Method:
- You will be given options to search by User ID or Phone number. Choose Phone number.
-
Enter Phone Number and Search:
- Select the correct country code from the list.
- Enter your friend's phone number in the designated field.
- Tap the search icon (typically a magnifying glass).
LINE will then search for a user registered with that phone number. If a match is found, you will see their profile and can add them as a friend.
Tip: Ensure the phone number you enter is the one your friend uses for their LINE registration, including the correct country code.
