Official Ways to Move LINE Over

LINE lists several transfer methods: an easy transfer QR code scanned from your old phone, your phone number and password, a passkey, or a linked Apple ID or Google account. The QR route is easiest while the old phone works. The other routes only help if you registered a password or linked a login earlier, so check that before you start.

Code Warning

Never Share Your LINE Code

Scammers ask for the code LINE sends during a transfer. Whoever enters it can move your account onto their phone.

Chat History

What the Transfer Does and Doesn't Move

Friends, groups, stickers and themes move with the account. Chat history follows only for recent chats or from a backup you made beforehand.

Device Review

Check Logged-In Devices Afterward

Open your account settings on the new phone and review Devices. Log out any PC, tablet or browser you don't recognize. Menu names may vary.

Old Phone Works
On the new phone tap Log in > Log in with QR code; on the old phone open Settings > Easy transfer QR code and scan it. Confirm on the old phone and unlock it if asked. Menu names may vary by app version.
Old Phone Lost
Without the old phone, log in with your phone number and password, a passkey, or a linked Apple ID or Google account. If you can't receive text messages at your number, LINE has a separate help article. Older chats come back only from a backup made before you lost the phone.

Check Transfer Options

1

Same OS Switch

Moving iPhone to iPhone or Android to Android lets you restore a text backup made before the transfer, along with recent chats.
2

iPhone to Android

Moving between systems carries the last 14 days of chats. Coin balance does not cross systems, so check LINE's guide for your direction before you switch.
3

Number Changed

Getting a new number too? Update it in LINE while you can still receive texts on the old one, or make sure your password is registered.
4

Old Phone Kept

LINE logs you out of the old phone after the transfer. Wipe it before you sell or give it away, and sign it out of your other accounts.

Prepare Before You Switch Phones

  • Set Password

    Register a Password While You Can Log In

    In your account settings, make sure a password and your current phone number are registered. With them you can still move LINE if the old phone breaks before the transfer.

  • Back Up History

    Save Chats Older Than 14 Days

    The QR transfer moves only the last 14 days of chats. Back up your chat history to Google Drive or iCloud from LINE's settings before you switch, and restore it on a phone with the same system. The free backup keeps text; save photos and videos separately.

  • Link Apple/Google

    Add a Backup Way to Log In

    Linking an Apple ID or Google account gives you another route onto the new phone. LINE says it must be set up in advance, so do it today.

  • Skip Services

    Paid Transfer Help Is a Scam

    Sites or people offering to move or restore LINE for a fee can't get past LINE's checks. They ask for your code or password and keep the account. LINE's transfer tools are free.
