How to Hide Your Number in the LINE App

LINE is a popular messaging app that allows users to communicate with friends and family around the world. However, some users may want to keep their phone number private for security or privacy reasons. Here’s how to hide your number in the LINE app:

  1. Open the LINE app on your device.

  2. Tap on the “More” tab in the bottom right corner of the screen.

  3. Tap on “Settings.”

  4. Tap on “Privacy.”

  5. Under the “Discoverable” section, you will see an option called “Allow others to add me.”

  6. Disable this option to hide your phone number from other users.

Once you have disabled this option, other users will not be able to find and add you to their LINE contacts based on your phone number. This will help to protect your privacy and prevent unwanted friend requests.

Note: If you later decide that you want to make your phone number discoverable again, you can simply follow the same steps and enable the “Allow others to add me” option.
