LINE: Calls & Messages APK (Official, Free)

The description of LINE: Calls & Messages APK (Official, Free)

The LINE: Calls & Messages APK is the official, free messenger from LY Corporation: one-on-one and group chats, free voice and video calls over the internet, thousands of stickers, and end-to-end encryption on your messages. No paywall, no premium tier to buy. You get the full app the moment you install it. The file on this page is scanned for malware and installed on a real Android device by our editors before publishing, we have done this since 2018.

One thing up front. LINE is a real, official product with over a billion downloads, so there is no "money MOD" or unlocked build to chase here, everything is already free. Further down we explain why the so-called LINE MODs floating around are worth skipping.

What is LINE?

LINE is a communication app built around chat and calls. You send text, photos, voice notes and files to friends one-on-one or in groups, and you place voice and video calls over mobile data or Wi-Fi with no extra charge, even for people in another country. It is the same idea as a phone call, just running over the internet.

Beyond messaging, LINE bundles a lot into one app. There is a huge sticker and theme store, a social feed called LINE Voom, a private notes space called Keep Memo, and LINE Pay for payments in supported regions. Businesses use LINE for Business to reach customers. The Android build is around 246 MB and needs Android 8.0 or newer.

Key features

• Messages and calls — one-on-one and group chats, plus free voice and video calls over internet or Wi-Fi.
• Stickers and themes — a large store of expressive stickers and looks to change how the app feels.
• LINE Voom — a feed where you post updates and follow official accounts and creators.
• Keep Memo — a personal space to save links, notes and files you want to find later.
• LINE Pay — send money and pay in stores where the service is available.
• Cross-device — your account works on Android, desktop and Wear OS, so chats follow you.

Is LINE safe? Encryption

Yes, when you install the official app. LINE uses a system called Letter Sealing, which is end-to-end encryption for your chats and calls, so the content is scrambled between you and the person you are talking to. That is a genuine privacy feature, and it is one big reason to be careful about where the app comes from.

The rule is simple: only install a LINE APK with the correct, original signature, the same one Google Play ships. A build with a mismatched signature is a red flag. On this page the file is checked before it goes up, and you can also grab LINE straight from Google Play if you prefer.

Is there a LINE MOD APK?

No, and this is the honest part most sites skip. There is no official LINE MOD, because there is nothing to unlock, the chats, the calls, the stickers store and the encryption are all free in the normal app. When you see a "LINE MOD" promising extra privacy tricks or an ad-free build, it is a repackaged, unofficial copy, not something LINE made.

Those modified builds are a real risk on a messenger like this. Because LINE protects your account and your encrypted chats, a tampered version can strip that protection, hijack your account, or carry malware. You could also get banned for logging in with a fake client. Stick with the official APK on this page or the Google Play version, that is the whole app, for free, with nothing missing.

How to download and install the LINE APK

The install is quick. The download is a single APK, and it starts from this page.

1. Tap the Download button at the top of this page, or open the Google Play listing if you would rather use the store.
2. If you are sideloading the APK, allow installation from unknown sources for your browser or file manager (Settings → Security).
3. If a conflicting or older LINE build is installed, remove it first so the new file installs cleanly.
4. Open the file, tap Install, then sign in or set up your account. The app is about 246 MB and needs Android 8.0 or newer.

First time sideloading an app? Our APK install guide walks through the same steps with screenshots. One tip: always update to the latest official version, newer builds fix bugs and keep the encryption current, and you can browse more communication apps in the catalog.
