Line

Line is a freeware app for instant communications on electronic devices such

as smartphones, tablet computers, and personal computers. Line users exchange texts, images,
video and audio, and conduct free VoIP conversations and video conferences. The service is
operated by Line Corporation, a Japanese subsidiary of the South Korean internet search
giant Naver Corporation.

Line was originally developed as a mobile application for Android and IOS
smartphones. The service has since expanded to BlackBerry OS (August 2012), Nokia
Asha (Asia and Oceania, March 2013), Windows Phone (July 2013), Firefox OS (February
2014), iOS tablets (October 2014), and as a Chrome Browser Application (via the Chrome Web
Store). At one point, Line was available as a website (non-browser-app), but it has since been
discontinued. The application also exists in versions for laptop and desktop computers using
the Microsoft Windows and mac IOS platforms. (Source: Wikipedia)

video calls, images and other media, documents, and user location. The application runs from
a mobile device though it is also accessible from desktop computers; the service requires
consumer users to provide a standard cellular mobile number. Originally users could only

provide customer service to users at scale.

was acquired by Facebook in February 2014 for approximately US$19.3 billion. By February
2018, WhatsApp had a user base of over one and a half billion, making it the most popular
