Is There a Safe Way to Restore Deleted LINE Chats? Avoid This Common Mistake!
When I lose my LINE messages, I feel upset. But if my friend sends me the chat as a text file, I can get the words back. It’s not the whole chat room, but I can see what we said. I want to show you how I do this, step by step, so you can do it too.
What I Need to Know First
- Only words get saved in the text file. Pictures, videos, and stickers don’t.
- The steps are a little different if I use a phone or a computer.
My Steps for Restoring LINE Chats from Text Files
On My iPhone or Android
- Open the chat room.
- Tap the menu button at the top right.
- Tap “Settings.”
- Tap “Send Chat History.”
- Choose to send it by LINE or by email.
- If I pick email, I get a text file in my inbox.
- I save the file somewhere safe.
On My Computer
- Open LINE on my computer.
- Go to the chat I want.
- Click the menu at the top right.
- Click “Save Chat.”
- Pick where to save the file.
- Can email the file to myself or someone else.
What I Watch Out For
- I can’t put the chat back into the chat room. I only get the words in a file.
- If I delete a chat room, I can’t bring it back with the words. I have to start a new chat or find the friend again.
- Stickers and pictures show up as “[Sticker]” or “[Photo]” in the file. They look odd, but the words are clear.
- If I reinstall LINE, I might lose my chats. That’s why I save them often.
My Quick Tips for Keeping Chats Safe
- Ask my friend to send me the chat as a text file if I lost it.
- Don’t share the text file with people I don’t trust.
- Save my chats before I change phones or reinstall the app.
- Read the file on any device, like my phone or computer.
Questions I Had (And the Answers That Helped Me)
Question: How do I import LINE chat history?
Answer: I use the backup I made before. If I have problems, I update my phone or restart it. Sometimes I turn off iCloud Drive for a bit if I’m on iPhone. If it still doesn’t work, I try again or ask for help.
Question: Will my friend know if I save the chat as a text file?
Answer: No. Saving the chat as a text file is private. My friend won’t get a message or see anything on their screen. But I keep my file safe so no one else reads it.
Losing chats makes me sad, but saving them as text files helps me remember what we said. I keep in mind that only words get saved, not pictures or stickers. I back up my chats often, and I don’t worry about my friend knowing when I save a chat. If you follow these steps, you can keep your chats safe and easy to read whenever you need them.
