LINE [1] - is a very popular messenging app in SEA, Japan and Korea. It's more of a service suite (food delivery, news/entertainment streams etc.) but at the core it's a really good messenger. Key features that I like:
- Great user-driver sticker ecosystem. Creators can submit their sets to the store and earn pasive income; there's even an sticker creation app [2]
- modern, good UX and web-client with default E2E encryption.
- ability to login with an account rather than phone number exclusively.
- chat extras: photo albums, event calendars etc. especially great for group chats.
- original quality photo sharing.
It's a bit bloated being a full service suite and all but underneath it all it's a really good messenging experience!

- fomine3 6y agoI argue that LINE is really suck for multiple device support. LINE won't allow multiple iOS/Android device login (unless using "Lite" app or iPad app only for messaging) and basically the app stores messages and other data on the device. They requires to user to manually backup the data to cloud storage when changing device between same OS. The most pain is that they still don't implement data transfer between iOS/Android so chat log and other data is disappeared. Modern chat apps mush not like this.
