Line downloads exceed 150 million

On May 1, 2013, technology blog TNW reported on Wednesday that the number of downloads of mobile messaging application Line exceeded 150 million today.

Line is one of the most popular mobile messaging apps in Asia, supporting 12 languages ​​and running on iOS, Android, Windows Phone, BlackBerry and Nokia Asha platforms.

Line was just spun off from its parent company NHN Japan in February 2012. It has only been 23 months since Line was officially launched. The company said that it was mainly driven by markets such as Spain, Latin America and Africa that pushed the app to over 150 million downloads.

As of mid-January this year, Line has been downloaded 100 million times. Line's main market is still in Asia, especially Japan, and its market share in South Korea, China and Southeast Asia is also growing rapidly.

Unlike WhatsApp, Line supports multimedia chat experience, focusing more on videos and photos. In addition, users can also play games with friends.

Line's profit model is also very special, mainly through the sale of virtual items. In addition, social games are also a major source of revenue. Line announced last month that the number of downloads of the game platform application exceeded 100 million times.

Line is a mobile messaging app that can be linked to a mobile phone address book and supports text, pictures, voice, video, calls, location, emoticons, group chats, etc. NHN Japan announced in February this year that it would spin off Line into an independent company, Line Corp.
