Essential Tips for Couples to Make the Most of LINE's Convenient Features and Services♡

Let's Make the Most of LINE!＊

Among the apps installed on your smartphone, LINE is probably the one you use every day without fail!

Most people use LINE as a communication tool to exchange messages with their husbands, families, and friends...

However, there are actually many features in LINE that are surprisingly not widely known or utilized by many people!♡

From "Oh! I didn't know this existed!"

to "This is convenient! It might be useful for wedding preparations?♡"

I have summarized some useful features, services, and ways to use the LINE app that I hope you will fully utilize!＊

LINE's Useful Feature ① Keep Function

Did you know that LINE has a "Keep Function"?

This feature allows you to back up messages, photos, videos, and voice messages from the chat screen.

If you long-press a message with important information or a photo you want to refer back to later and "Keep" it, you can quickly check it from your profile screen♩

There's no need to scroll back through messages, and since it’s a personal function, you don’t have to worry about someone seeing it.

So I keep,

☑ The promise time or URL for a restaurant sent by a friend

☑ Details about the after-party sent by a bride-to-be friend

☑ Work messages from colleagues

and utilize them by deleting them as needed after I'm done!＊

LINE's Useful Feature ② Announcement Function

The "Announcement Function" allows you to keep a message displayed at the top of your chat screen at all times!＊

For example, let's say you're discussing "Meeting at ○○ station at ○○ time!" with someone.

Over time, you might forget, and the messages keep getting pushed back.

At such times, using the announcement feature allows you to pin that message at the top of both your chat screen and the other person's chat screen, which is convenient♡

By making an announcement, it functions like a memo of sorts♩

In my exchanges with my husband, for example,

"We have the second wedding meeting on ○○ date!"

"We need to finish preparing the invitations by ○○ date!"

If I keep these displayed as announcements, I'll remember every time I check LINE and feel the urge to prepare quickly!＊

LINE's Useful Feature ③ Create a One-Person Group

Creating a one-person group to use LINE as a notebook is quite a common way to use LINE, isn’t it?＊

While iPhones come with a notes app, it's easier to quickly jot down notes in LINE, which you open multiple times a day.

The steps to create a one-person group are:

① Tap the "+" icon in the top right of your friends list

② Tap "Create Group"

③ Press "Next" without adding any friends

④ Set a group name or image arbitrarily

⑤ Tap the "Create" button to finish!

You can create as many one-person groups as you like, so it might be good to create groups like "Wedding Prep Notes," "Work Notes," or "Shopping List"♩

LINE's Useful Feature ④ Remind-Kun

Do you know about "Remind-Kun"?

This is a reminder service bot using LINE.

To use it, add Remind-Kun as a friend and send messages like "Transfer money" or "Call my parents" to remind you later.

Then you'll receive a response asking, "When would you like to be reminded?" and you just need to tell it your preferred time.

At that time, you will receive a LINE from Remind-Kun reminding you♩

It’s great that you can also set snooze options and daily repeat settings.

With Remind-Kun, you won't have to worry about "Oh no! I forgot to do ○○!" anymore!＊

LINE's Useful Feature ⑤ LINE Gift

LINE Gift is also very convenient♡

It allows you to send and receive gifts to people connected via LINE from your smartphone.

Since you can send gifts without knowing the recipient's address or email, it’s a popular casual gifting service♩

In my circle, I often see:

☑ Sending a Starbucks drink ticket to a friend for their birthday

☑ Sending a 500 yen gift voucher for 31 ice cream as a thank you for a ride

It’s often used for little (no-return-needed) gifts♩

LINE Gift, which can be used anywhere like cafes, convenience stores, and chain shops, is highly recommended.

LINE's Useful Feature ⑥ Gather Information with Marry’s LINE@

Finally, I'd like to introduce the way to gather wedding information by adding Marry’s LINE@ as a friend♡

Popular articles are delivered three times a month, so you can easily check trending articles♩

Please make sure to add it as a friend!＊
