How to Save LINE Chats on iPhone and Android

One way to keep LINE chat history on hand is to send the chat history as text. The steps below follow LINE's official help (checked 2026-10-29).

Not legal advice. This page is general information. Whether a court admits or relies on a chat is for the court; convokeep does not promise admission or any outcome. Ask a qualified lawyer about your case.

What are the steps to save a chat?

  1. Open the chat room you want to save and tap the menu (≡) at the top of the screen.
  2. Tap "Settings".
  3. Tap "Export chat history" and choose where to send it, such as email.

LINE's official help does not separate these steps for iPhone and Android. Menu names may change with the app version.

What range is saved?

Only the history shown in the chat room you currently have open is saved. Other chat rooms are saved separately.

What about photos and videos?

The relevant LINE help page does not say whether photos, videos or stickers are included, so this site does not say they are. Save them separately if you need them.

Can I restore from the saved text?

No. According to LINE's official help, history saved as text cannot be restored. If you want to restore chats when moving to a new phone or reinstalling, you need the regular backup feature.

How do I move it to a computer?

You can email it to yourself, put it on a cloud drive, or copy it over USB. Do not open and re-save the moved file; keep it as it is.

How do I turn it into a PDF?

Put the .txt file into the convokeep app and you can build a PDF with dates.

Privacy

Reading the file, building the PDF and calculating hashes all happen in your browser. No chat or attachment is uploaded and there is no account. See the privacy policy and the disclaimer.

Drop your exported .txt file on the convokeep app for a free preview. The first 3 pages are free (watermarked, no integrity page); saving the full PDF is a one-time paid feature. No chat or attachment is uploaded: the file is read in your browser. To check later that a file is unchanged, use the hash checker.
