There is an old saying, “Asking is a temporary shame, but not asking is a lifelong shame.” In today’s world where computers and smartphones are prevalent, this saying can be modified to “Asking is a temporary inconvenience, but not asking is a wasted opportunity.”
It is difficult to remember each function because there are too many, but smartphones are valuable assets. However, even if you ask young people, they cannot remember everything at once. Whether it is not memorized correctly or the way of teaching is wrong is not clear, but it is a problem.
For those people, the “LINE Basic Usage Guide” is helpful. This article introduces how to add friends on LINE.

About LINE Friend Registration
In order to make the most of LINE, friend registration is necessary. By adding friends, you can easily communicate with family, friends, and colleagues.
Adding friends is easy, you can search directly using the other person’s LINE ID or automatically search friends from existing contacts. In addition to registering friends of general users, you can also register friends of various organizations, and invite users who are not using LINE yet.
By adding friends, you can communicate smoothly through messages. You can also delete the registration after adding a friend.
Adding Friends via QR Code
You can easily add LINE friends via QR code. QR codes are convenient for adding acquaintances as friends. By using a QR code, you can show your account’s QR code to the other person and have them read it, or read a QR code that the other person presents to add their contact.
First, tap the icon above the chat screen list to activate the camera to read the QR code.
Then tap “My QR Code” displayed at the bottom of the screen.
Next, when the QR code is displayed, have your friends read it using a QR code reader.
Alternatively, if you want to read a friend’s QR code, you can launch the QR code reader from the screen displaying “My QR Code” and use it to read your friend’s QR code.
Adding friends via QR code is easy and hassle-free. This is especially convenient when meeting in person.
Adding Friends via Phone Number
Next, let’s explain how to add friends using a phone number. In order to search for a contact using a phone number, the phone number must be registered on LINE, and “Allow adding to friends” must be turned on.
Firstly, tap the “Add Friends” icon on the top right corner of the home screen. Then select the “Search” icon. Next, dial the “Phone Number” and enter the number to search.

Once the user you want to add as a friend is displayed, tap “Add” to add them as a friend.
Adding Friends via ID
Similar to searching by phone number, you can also search for friends using their ID.
As mentioned before, tap the “Add Friends” icon on the top right corner of the home screen. Then select the “Search” icon. Dial “ID”, enter the ID, and search.
After that, when the friends are displayed, add them as friends to complete the process. To prevent misuse of ID search, if you search a certain number of times or repeatedly enter the wrong ID, the search function will be temporarily suspended.
Adding Friends via LINE Account URL
You can add friends by sharing the URL of your LINE account with users.
Similarly to adding friends via QR code, show the QR code and then tap “Copy Link” below the QR code. Copy the link by tapping it.
Share the copied link with friends via email or SNS, and they can access the link to register.
What to do if you can’t add friends
If you can’t add friends, there could be several reasons. If age verification is not done, you cannot use ID search. Furthermore, if you search a certain number of times or repeatedly enter the wrong ID, the search function will be temporarily suspended. Check if you have completed age verification and if you are repeating incorrect searches.
Alternatively, it is possible that the user has not allowed friend addition via ID/phone number search. Try asking the other person for confirmation.
Finally…
LINE has features that make it easy to add friends and enhance communication. There are several ways to add friends, such as QR codes and URLs. Please feel free to use it as a communication tool with your family and friends.
