LINE it is on everyone's lips. Two things can happen, that in two months no one remembers this app and it has fallen into oblivion, or that in two months it will already be another of the most used services to hold conversations. Most likely, WhatsApp will not fall so fast, given that it has 10 million users in Spain, and an immensity around the world. Nevertheless, LINE it continues to grow and gain followers all over the planet. And it is normal, since it has very interesting additions that make it ideal for all uses.
Conversations like WhatsApp
We start at the beginning, like the champions. LINE is like WhatsApp, in several ways. On the one hand, we can have conversations with our friends, both individually and in groups. We check in in two ways simultaneously. One is through our email and password, and another is through our mobile phone, so we get the advantage of both methods. Thus, it recognizes the friends who are already registered in LINE through the numbers that we have stored in our agenda. So far, everything is the same as the WhatsApp that we all know.
LINE is available for PC and Mac
Advantage of connecting through our address and password? The one that has a version for PC and Mac, that allows us to converse through the versions for computers. Actually, we are using the same account on mobile and computer, all thanks to double login. This is one of the features that many of us wish WhatsApp could have, to chat with our friends from the computer.
Icons, Stickers and Emoticons
Like WhatsApp, it also has icons, like Emoji, although slightly different. We can send smilies and other small drawings to our contacts. In addition, it contains emoticons made up of characters. However, the key lies in the Stickers, special stickers, larger, which are also animated and can be downloaded in packs. There are free packs, but there are also free packs that complete the possibilities that we have with this application when it comes to talking with others. This is one of the most remarkable things about LINE and what makes it different from WhatsApp.
VoIP calls like Viber and Skype
Another detail that differentiates them a lot is the possibility of making free calls via IP Voice. Services like Viber or Skype already offer VoIP calls, but the fact that all the possibilities are integrated here makes it very attractive. It makes it a really threatening alternative to WhatsApp, with extended and superior capabilities.
Timeline like Twitter and Facebook
In addition to all this, it somehow integrates a social network. WhatsApp users have become accustomed to writing messages in their Status, in such a way that it serves to communicate how they are, something similar to what we did in the old Windows Messenger. Well, LINE has taken it to the next level, turning it into a kind of Facebook or Twitter. We can write how we are, and the rest of the contacts will see it in the Timeline, along with the communications of other users.
An all in one that does not fail at the moment
The key to LINE is that it integrates everything else into a single service that allows us to be in contact with all users in all possible areas. The growth of this service is undoubted, with more than 75 million users worldwide. We never know how it could continue to grow, but we could be talking about the new Facebook, the new Twitter, or the new WhatsApp. At the moment, yes, it has not failed at a technical level, something that has happened to WhatsApp. And, above all, LINE was released shortly after the earthquake disaster in Japan, with the aim of being an alternative to the telecommunication means that were so many failures at that time.
Download now LINE from Google Play and start testing all its features.
If it has a fault, and very fat, it consumes more than triple the battery in Android than WhatsApp, and with the triple I fall short.
I have had to uninstall it because it took about 3 hours of battery life, it was behind the screen and the wifi in battery consumption on my mobile.
When they solve it, we'll see.
Mot the failure is that apparently it has a bug that is "giving cane" in the 2nd plane. and there are people who one night with the line starts to consume him as you say 3-4 times more than normal (seen with programs like "where is my droid power")
Well, the battery issue must be solved because it marks a consumption of 2% for me.
