There is an old saying, “Asking is temporary shame, not asking is lifelong shame.” In today’s world where computers and smartphones are widespread, this saying can be changed to “Asking is temporary inconvenience, not asking is wasted opportunity.”
When there are too many features, it becomes difficult to remember each of them, and smartphones become valuable assets. Even if you ask young people, they may not remember right away. Whether it is because they don’t remember clearly or were taught incorrectly, it is a problem.
This is where the “LINE Basic Guide” comes in handy, which can help those who are struggling with how to use LINE. This article introduces how to add friends on LINE.

About Adding Friends on LINE
To make the most of LINE, adding friends is essential. By adding friends, you can easily communicate with family, friends, business partners, and more.
You can add friends by directly searching for someone’s LINE ID or by automatically searching for friends from your existing contacts. Adding friends includes adding regular users as friends, adding official accounts of various organizations as friends, and inviting users who are not yet using LINE.
After adding friends, you can smoothly exchange messages and can remove the added friends if needed.
Using QR Code for Adding Friends
You can easily add friends on LINE using QR codes. QR codes are ideal for adding acquaintances as friends. You can use QR codes by showing your account’s QR code to someone to scan or by scanning a QR code provided by someone to add a new contact.
First, click on the icon above the chat screen list to open the camera for scanning QR codes.
Then tap “My QR Code” that appears at the bottom of the screen.
A QR code will be displayed. Ask your friend to scan the QR code using a QR code reader.
On the other hand, if you want to scan a friend’s QR code, use the QR code reader from the “My QR Code” screen to scan your friend’s QR code.
Adding friends using QR codes is easy and convenient. This is especially useful for instant meetings.
Adding Friends Using Phone Number
Next, let’s explain how to add friends using a phone number. To search for someone using a phone number, you need to register your phone number on LINE and turn on the setting “Allow others to add you as a friend.”
First, click on the “Add Friends” icon in the top right corner of the home screen. Then select the “Search” icon. Check for “Phone Number” and enter the phone number to search for.

Once the user you want to add as a friend appears, click “Add” to add them as a friend.
Adding Friends Using ID
Similar to searching by phone number, you can also search for friends using their ID.
As mentioned before, click on the “Add Friends” icon in the top right corner of the home screen. Then select the “Search” icon. Check “ID,” enter the ID, and search.
Once your friend appears, simply add them as a friend. To prevent misuse of ID search, if you search for a certain number of times or input the wrong ID repeatedly, the search function will be temporarily suspended.
Adding Friends from LINE Account URL
You can add friends by sharing your LINE account’s URL with others.
Just like when you added friends using QR codes, your QR code will be displayed. Below the QR code, you will see the option “Copy link,” click on that to copy the URL.
Share the copied link via email or social media with your friends, and they can access the link to add you as a friend.
What to Do When You Can’t Add Friends
If you are unable to add friends, there could be several reasons. If you have not completed age verification, you may not be able to use ID search. Also, if you search a certain number of times or repeatedly input the wrong ID, the search function will be temporarily suspended. Make sure to check if age verification is completed and if you are not repeatedly making incorrect searches.
Alternatively, you may not allow new friends to be searched by ID/phone number. Make sure to seek approval from others.
Finally
LINE has features that make it easy to add friends and communicate casually. There are many ways to add friends, including QR codes and website addresses. Feel free to use LINE as a communication tool with your family and friends.
