Backing up your chat history from your LINE app, go to More > Settings > Chats & Voice Calls > Chat History Backup.

Your chats will be saved to iCloud, making it easy to restore chat history when installing LINE on a new iPhone.

It is recommended that you disable cellular data use from iCloud's settings when using a limited data plan. From Settings > iCloud > iCloud Drive, disable Use Cellular Data.

- You may not be able to back up all of your chat history depending on the amount of space you have available on iCloud.
- You cannot transfer chat history from Android to iOS devices. (Chat history can be transferred between Android devices.)
- This feature is available on iOS8.1 or higher.
