Communication
Line
Line is a Japanese messaging super-app with over 200 million users, combining chat, voice calls, payments, news, and mini-apps in a single platform.
What is Line?
Is Line down? LINE is a Japanese messaging application developed by LINE Corporation (now LY Corporation following its merger with Yahoo Japan), launched in 2011 in response to the communication disruptions caused by the Tōhoku earthquake. It became the dominant messaging platform in Japan, Taiwan, Thailand, and Indonesia, with over 200 million monthly active users in Asia. LINE offers text messaging, voice and video calls, group chats, a news feed, stickers and emoji, games, LINE Pay mobile payments, LINE Music, and LINE Manga — making it a super-app ecosystem rather than a simple messenger.
LINE's sticker economy — where users purchase and send characterful animated stickers to express emotions — became a significant revenue stream and a cultural phenomenon particularly in Japan, where sticker packs from popular characters and brands sell for hundreds of millions of dollars annually. LINE's deep integration with local commerce through LINE Official Accounts — which businesses use for customer service, marketing, and transactions — makes it essential business infrastructure in Japan and Southeast Asia. LINE Pay processes enormous transaction volumes in these markets as a widely-used mobile payment method.
LINE outages affect not just personal communication but the business-critical Official Account messaging, LINE Pay transactions, and the broader ecosystem of apps and services that integrate with LINE's platform. Common symptoms include messages failing to send, sticker purchases not completing, LINE Pay transactions declining, or group chat notifications not delivering. In markets where LINE is the primary digital communication infrastructure, outages have immediate social and commercial impact.
