Officially, Line mentions on their website that they do not allow transfers of any kind of content for cross-platform devices. What that means is you cannot transfer your chat history from an iPhone to an Android device and vice versa if you don’t use a third-party app.

However, there is a workaround that allows you to transfer your messages from your iPhone to your Android device with a few easy steps. It uses one of the official features in the Line app and helps you finish the data migration process on your device. Here’s how you do it:

Step 1. Launch the Line chat app from the springboard of your iPhone.

Step 2. When the app launches, find and tap on the chat room that you would like to transfer to your Android device. Then, tap on V at the top-right corner and select the option that says Settings to open the settings menu.

Step 3. On the screen that follows, tap on the option that says Export chat history to export your selected chat history as a plain text file on your iPhone.

Step 4. Transfer the exported chat plain text file from your iPhone over to your Android device using any medium you prefer. You may use an email or a transfer app to transfer your chat history.

Step 5. Open the chat history file you have received on your Android device.
