How to Create a Local Backup of Line Chat on iOS and Android

Line is a popular chat app that lets people send messages, make phone calls, make video calls, and more. My favorite feature of line chat is the extensive sticker options that are not available in popular chat apps like WhatsApp. That’s why I use Line as my messaging app. And for security purposes, I create and store a local backup of my line chats so that even if I lose or brick my phone, I don’t lose them. In this post, I will show you how you can create a local backup of Line chat on iPhone and Android devices.

Create Local Backup of Line Chat on iOS and Android

Like other messaging apps, Line allows users to create cloud backups. Whether you’re using Android or iOS devices, there are multiple methods you can use to back up Line chats to Google Drive and iCloud.

  • To create cloud backup of Line chats on iOS, open Line and Settings -> Chat -> Chat history backup and tap “Back up now”.
  • On Android phones go to: Settings -> Chats -> Backup and restore chat history and tap on Backup to Google Drive.

But I don’t use any of these methods for Line and all my chat apps. Because while messaging apps like Line offer end-to-end encryption, your online backups are not encrypted. So in theory, anyone with access to your Google Drive or iCloud account can read those chats. First, I’m a bit hesitant and therefore like to keep an offline backup of my chats.

Available for macOS and Windows devices. Note that the free version has limited features and you will need to unlock the paid version to get all the features.
