Line (usually stylized in all-caps as LINE; (Japanese: ライン Hepburn: rain)) is a Japanese proprietary application for instant messaging on smartphones and PCs. Line users exchange text messages, graphics, video and audio media, make free VoIP calls, and hold free audio or video conferences. Line, launched in Japan in 2011, reached 100 million users within eighteen months and 200 million users only six months later. Line was originally developed as a mobile application for Android and iOS smartphones. The service has since expanded to BlackBerry (August 2012), Nokia Asha (Asia and Oceania, March 2013), and Windows Phone (July 2013). The application also exists in versions for laptop and desktop computers using the Microsoft Windows and Mac OS platforms
