Awhile back, we announced that SAYS is now an official account on LINE. Make sure you follow us, we'll be launching a new contest next Monday. You wouldn't wanna miss out. ;)

Today, the instant communications giant will be launching a new web app exclusively for Google Chrome

Log into your LINE account by keying in your email address and password. You could also opt for QR code login, if you're high tech like that.

Once you've logged into your account, you'll be greeted with a minimal and clean chatroom interface

The chatroom is divided into two sections. On the left, you'll see your list of contacts, as well as official accounts that you've subscribed to. While on the right, you'll be able to see your chat history.

LINE is famous for its cute stickers, and users will be able to send them to their friends through the app

A sticker is worth a thousand words!

LINE introduced a new feature called Memos, which allows users to create their own notes or save and arrange text and pictures. Memos allow users to synchronise to-do lists created at home to any other PC simply by logging into their Google account.

Security and privacy have always been a priority for LINE, auto login feature will not be available. Additionally, users must verify their identity via the smartphone version of LINE the first time they log into a new device.

Overall, we had a great time using the app. The app is fairly easy to navigate and user-friendly. The addition of Memos sets LINE apart from many other web messaging apps out there - the ability to jot down notes and daily reminders on a messaging app is rather ingenious.

Download LINE for Google Chrome on Google Playstore now.
