What does “deleting LINE account” mean?
Once you delete your LINE account, the followings cannot be restored even if you sign up with a new account.
- Friends’ list (including Group list) on LINE
- Chat history on LINE
- Stickers and themes which you purchased
- Data you saved on “Keep”
- All the apps’ accounts related to LINE, such as “LINE Games”
Unlike Facebook, there is no “Deactivate your account” function on LINE. The function is that you can temporarily deactivate your account and come back to the same account in the future.
Therefore, please consider well before you proceed to deleting your LINE account.
Only the people who never want to use LINE or who want to completely reset LINE and start with a new account should delete your LINE account.
Will it be notified to your friends’ on LINE if you delete your account?
If you delete your LINE account, you will be deleted from your friends’ “Friends” list on LINE.
On your friends’ “Chat” list, a message “Empty Room” will be shown.
If you are in “Groups” on LINE, a message “(your name) left the group” with the time will be shown on their group chat room.
However, the fact you deleted your account will not be notified to your friends on LINE at any cases.
In other words, your friends will not know that you deleted your account until they open LINE chat room.
Chat history, albums and notes you shared will be remained on your friends’ chat room. (If you want to delete them, you need to delete before deleting your account)
How to delete your LINE account
The process is the same for both Android and iPhone users.
You cannot delete your LINE account on LINE PC.

If you want to be away from LINE for a while, what can you do?
One of the suggestions is that uninstalling LINE app without deleting your LINE account.
Even if you uninstall LINE app, unless you delete your LINE account, you can always install the app and log in with the same account.
Before that, you need to register your Email address and backup chat history on LINE.
Especially, if you forget registering your Email address, you will not be able to restore your account after your break.
After you complete the process, you will not get any messages from your friends on LINE.
It is like you suddenly disappear from LINE, but your account is alive. Whenever you want to come back to LINE, you can restore your account. After your restoration, you can get some data back, such as “Friends” list and stickers.
Of course you can restore the chat history from the backed up data (For Android users only).
