LINE brings important modifications. The messaging service will not allow more registrations through Facebook and adds new navigation options
One of the tools that we use the most on mobile devices is the programs that allow us to send and receive messages with friends and family. The catalog of applications that provide this type of services are very wide and among them compete to see which is the most downloaded. In order to maintain popularity, products must be kept up-to-date and offer a variety of alternatives in their offering. It is in this way that many of them no longer function only as a simple message exchange service but also have tasks similar to those of social networks.
In line with the need to keep up with the demands of users, the latest news about LINE and a series of changes in its application that seek to offer a similar service to platforms such as Instagram, Twitter or Facebook. The app that was born in 2011 also applied an important novelty around the registration process of new users.
One of the latest news about LINE brings us an interesting modification regarding the Timeline function, the section where users find content that is of interest to them.
The new function that the messaging application adds is called "Explore" and what it allows is that in addition to seeing the posts and updates from our friends, we can access content that we like from other users. Once we see it, LINE enables you to follow the account that published it. The "Explore" option makes a selection of personalized material based on the person's history, style and interests.
To be able to use the LINE update you can touch the screen on the small world icon that appears or go down on the Timeline screen until you find the "Explore" section.
Novelty does not come alone. In addition to receiving the new personalized content, users will have the “Follow” option available. The function gives access to the chance to follow the accounts that published content of interest without necessarily having to be friends on LINE.
Among the modifications introduced by the application are also alterations in the user registration process in LINE. In order to strengthen the security and data protection of new people who install the program, it will no longer be possible to use a pre-existing Facebook account to register.
The change at the time of the first entry to the app is important for those users who use LINE and eventually change their device. For this reason, the company highlighted on its official site that you have to be very careful in the information provided at the time of creating the account.
The latest news about LINE and the changes introduced within the messaging service demonstrate active and outstanding decisions of the company to stay close to its competitors. Today people not only seek to exchange messages or make calls but also for many, it is very important to obtain and share content of interest.
