All this through a fairly simple tool that is reminiscent of WhatsApp, both in its possibilities and in its operation. In fact, the first thing to do with LINE is to register our telephone number to create a single user. To do this we must fill in a couple of screens with data such as email, the number of phone and a password and receive a sms with a verification number After this, all that remains is to attach a photograph and a usernameto start using this comprehensive communication tool.
LINE consists of four general tabs among which are Pick your top choices.The first, Friends, shows the list of contacts that have this application and with whom we can start chatting just by clicking on them. The second tab, Chats, keeps track of all chats, being able to continue them at any time. time and place. But the truly striking thing comes in the third space, called Timeline This is a kind of wallwhere we can publish all kinds of messages, accompanied by photos or emoticons in the purest style Twitteror Facebook A public place for other users, who can rate and comment all these status updates Finally we find a tab for collecting the configuration, the option of add new contacts and the added applications you can useLINE and that we will discuss below.
