LINE Friend Add QR Code
A LINE friend add QR code is a QR code used to add a specific account as a friend on the LINE messaging app. Scanning it with LINE's built-in reader allows one-tap friend addition without manually entering an ID. It is used for store official accounts, corporate customer support, and personal contact exchange.
How do I add a friend with a LINE QR code?
In the LINE app, tap + on the Chats tab and choose QR code scanning to launch the QR code reader. When you scan the other person's QR code, their account appears; tap "Add" to complete the friend addition. To have someone add you instead, tap "My QR Code" from the + menu on the Chats tab to display your own code and let them scan it. Printing it on business cards or shop cards enables friend additions during in-person meetings.

Besides the + menu on the Chats tab, the QR code reader can be launched from the QR code icon in the search bar on the Chats and Friends tabs. The photo list on the reader screen also loads QR codes received as data. On-screen labels may vary by app version.
