LINE, the world’s leading mobile platform with 350 million users worldwide, has seen a record-breaking inflow of daily new users, as many as 10 times in some regions, since February 23, 2014. The recent surge is attributed to LINE’s unparalleled communication services that are the most safe and reliable, in the midst of recent system trouble experienced by other service providers.
On Feb. 23, LINE shined as an app that experienced the significant growth rate on United Arab Emirates’ iOS Top Charts (Overall – free apps) by jumping 9 spots in just one day.
Many users have already chosen LINE as the ideal solution that offers an advanced system support and wide range of features that offer free messaging, voice and video calling, as well as interactive elements such as Stickers, Timeline and Official Accounts, under the ongoing industrial changes in the mobile messaging market.

LINE also provides an entire mobile ecosystem, enabling users to customize their mobile experiences by downloading additional LINE apps such as more than 50 different LINE games , LINE PLAY, LINE Camera and LINE Card.
As Middle East regions being chosen as its next strategic market, LINE is striving to reach out to more users with groundbreaking campaigns and programs tailored specifically for the local users based on the huge success in Asia, Europe and South American countries. Especially, LINE is planning to hold a free sticker event for the users in Middle East in early March.
“We are excited to see LINE’s speedy growth in the Middle East markets, where daily usage of smartphones has become an indispensable part of lives for many young people. The advanced speed of development and expansion of Middle East smartphone markets makes the countries that much more significant to LINE. In the near future, we will be partnering with local brands and personalities to provide locally-tailored services and features for our users in these regions,” said Minho Goh, Managing Director of MENA and Turkey at LINE PLUS Corporation.
Along with the enhanced user experience, LINE does not store or track any user information to ensure user privacy protection and stable service support.
