If you are a user of this application and you want to know if it is possible to run it on your desktop with your computer for a lifetime, in this post I am going to show you how to download and install Line on PC or Mac.
A real alternative
Line is a messaging application created and popularized in Japan by Line Corporation. With it we can send messages, images, videos and even audios. Although video calls with multiple participants is also possible, that is why today it is considered a direct competitor of WhatsApp Messenger or Telegram.
The app was officially launched in 2011 as a solution to a communication problem created by the failure of the main telephony services in Japan. The Korean company NHN developed the application to be able to communicate with each other, extending with its launch on the market 2 months later. Since then the application has gained millions and millions of users.
Initially it was an application designed for mobile devices with Android or IOS, but after its great popularity it was extended to other desktop devices.
The operation does not go beyond the revolutionary, but it fulfills the basic functions necessary for communication. The system automatically searches like WhatsApp for the contacts in your agenda to import them, and from there the communication with our friends begins.
The basic functionalities are: stickers, groups, camera filters, calendar, calls and video calls thanks to the VoIP protocol.
The different sections are represented by 5 buttons that can be summarized as: instant messages, friends, news, calls and Line functions.
Line’s services are: LINE’s physical store (FRIENDS), gift shop, LINE games, LINE square looks, LINE taxi and LINE pay. But currently many others have been created that are continually expanded due to the growth of the app.
