LINE reaches 100 million users
The messaging and free calls application, LINE, continues unstoppable in its meteoric rise in terms of number of users. And it seems to be hitting hard in each market that enters. So much so that just a couple of days ago it reached the dizzying number of 100 million users A number that is even more surprising considering its short life, just a year and a half This makes it clear that LINE is here to stay and that , definitely, WhatsApp has a worthy competitor.
LINE began its journey in Japan, where it has been developed. However, it quickly began to expand throughout Asia, gaining millions of followers Thus, although in Spain We already knew it several weeks before, it was preofficially seated last December , when we were informed that it already had more than 80 million users A growth that, compared to that of other similar applications such as WhatsApp, has no equal. And it is that the still hegemonic messaging application would count today, without being official figures, with around 200 or 300 million users Of course, WhatsApp started in 2009 , when the smartphones market was not as wide as it is now.
No wonder the people of LINE are happy. So much so that they have created a web page dedicated exclusively to giving thanks for having reached such a figure. It shows us two promotional videos of this tool. One of them referring to the figure and milestones achieved and stressing the importance of its characteristics stickers or pegatinas , and the other collecting the impressions of users from different parts of the planet where LINEis already fully established, being one of them Barcelona
Although, during the presentation of LINE in Spain, the marketing managers of this tool c onfirmed to tuexperto.com that their goal was not to compete against WhatsApp for number one, it is quite clear that, at this rate, it would not be difficult for them to achieve it.And it has several virtues compared to this other tool such as free calls, the aforementioned stickers , the official accounts where celebrities post what they are doing, is multiplatform and, one of the key points: it is completely free No need to renew an annual subscription of any type, like you do WhatsApp
But not everything is good in LINE Well known is its excessive battery consumption , which can significantly reduce the usage times of our device. Also, despite its large number of users, it is possible that not everyone will take the plunge and decide to create an account on LINE Something that will force the coexistence between this application and WhatsApp if we want to be in contact with all ourfamily and friends.
We will have to see if LINE maintains this fast pace of growth. As of now, it is known that up to 600,000 people download your app on a daily, somewhat that has led them to reach number one in the main application stores such asApp Store in up to 41 countries of the 231 in which it operates worldwide.
