How to Restore LINE Chat History with/without Backup

Line is a popular messaging app that allows users to connect with friends and family through text, voice calls, and video chats. If you’re a big fan of Line, chances are you have produced a lot of memorable chat history with your loved ones. However, there are times when you may accidentally lose your Line chat history due to various reasons such as accidental deletion, device malfunction, or software issues. But don’t panic! In this article, we will guide you through the process of restoring your Line chat history with or without backup.


Part 1: Restoring Line Chat History via iCloud

If you have previously backed up your LINE chat history using iCloud, you can restore it by following these steps. Please note that on iPhone, the restore option only appears when you log in to LINE on a freshly installed app, either after reinstalling LINE or on a new device: 
1. On your iPhone, go to Settings, then tap your name at the top, then tap iCloud, and make sure iCloud Drive is turned on. Also confirm that you are signed in with the same Apple ID you used when the backup was created. 
2. Reinstall the LINE app: press and hold the LINE icon, remove the app, then download it again from the App Store. Or install LINE on your new iPhone. 
3. Open LINE and log in with the same account you used before. Choose Log In instead of creating a new account. 
4. When the Restore chat history prompt appears, tap Restore. 
5. Wait for the process to finish on a stable Wi-Fi connection, then check whether your chats are back. Tips: Your chats will be restored to the state of the last backup, so messages sent after that backup won’t be included. It is worth taking a fresh backup before reinstalling LINE. Also, the standard iCloud backup may not include photos and videos sent in chats, so back those up separately if you need them.
