Attention LINE users who are still using old phones! According to LINE’s official announcement, it will stop supporting the old version of LINE applications in early November 2026. At that time, if the LINE version of iPhone and iPad is lower than 14.6.3, and the Android device is lower than 14.4.6, you will no longer be able to use LINE. If the elders in the family are still using an old mobile phone from many years ago, it is best to confirm the version in advance and complete the upgrade or update to avoid suddenly not being able to use it later.
LINE latest version requirements (implemented in early November)
● iPhone, iPad: version 14.6.3 or above.

Which iPhone and Android phones are affected?
iPhone and iPad users must upgrade their device systems to iOS 15, iPadOS 15 or above, and update LINE to 14.6.3 or above before they can continue to use it.
Taking the iPhone as an example, when Apple launches iOS 15 in 2021, iPhone 6s and subsequent models will be upgradeable. This means that older models such as iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus cannot be upgraded to iOS 15, so they cannot install LINE 14.6.3 or above.
In terms of Android, the system must be Android 8 or above to install LINE 14.4.6 or above. To put it simply, if your mobile phone cannot be upgraded to the required device system version and LINE version, the use of LINE will be affected starting from early November.
Apple Watch users should also pay attention
In addition to mobile phones, Apple Watch users should also pay attention. To continue using LINE on Apple Watch, you must upgrade Apple Watch to watchOS 8 or above, and simultaneously update LINE on the paired iPhone to 14.6.3 or above.
