How to exit the Line app on Android
Line is a popular messaging application around the world, but sometimes it can cause problems. If you are stuck in the Line app on Android and cannot exit, don't worry, there are several solutions you can try to resolve the issue.
In this article, I will show you how to exit the Line app on Android using different options.
How Line works on Android
Line is an instant messaging application similar to WhatsApp or Facebook Messenger. To use Line, you need to download the application on your Android device and create an account. Once logged in, you can send text messages, voice calls, and video calls to your friends and family who have also installed the application.
However, sometimes the application may freeze or not respond correctly. In these cases, it is important to know how to exit the Line app on Android to restore your device's normal operation.
Step 1: Close the app correctly
Before exiting the Line app on Android, it is important to close it correctly to avoid any issues or data loss. Here's how:
- Make sure you are on the main screen of the application.
- Press the square button at the bottom of your Android device to open the list of recent applications.
- Find the Line app icon and swipe up to remove it from the list of active applications.
- Alternatively, you can long-press on the Line app icon in the list of recent applications and select "Close" or "Force stop".
Remember that forcing the app to stop may cause data loss or other unwanted consequences. Therefore, it is always better to close the app correctly by following the steps above.
Step 2: Force close the app
If you have tried to close the app normally and failed, the next step is to force close the app. This operation is necessary when the app freezes or does not respond to commands.
Here's how:
- Press the "Home" button on your Android device to return to the main screen.
- Press the "Recent apps" button (the button with three horizontal lines) to view all recently used applications.
- Find the Line app icon that you opened and swipe up to remove it from the list of recent applications.
- Return to the main screen and try opening the Line app again. It should work properly now.
If this method doesn't work, you can also try uninstalling and reinstalling the Line app from the Play Store. However, this will result in losing all of your app data, so make sure to backup your messages before proceeding with this option.
Anyway, force-closing the application should solve the problem and allow you to use Line on your Android device again without any issues.
Step 3: Uninstall and reinstall the application
If the issue persists after trying the first two steps, the next step is to uninstall and reinstall the LINE application. This can resolve most technical issues with the app.
Here's how to proceed:
- Go to "Settings" on your Android device
- Find and select "Applications"
- Look for LINE app in the list of installed applications
- Select the LINE app and tap "Uninstall"
- After the app has been uninstalled, open Google Play Store on your Android device
- Search for "LINE" in the list of available apps
- Tap "Install" to download and install LINE app again
Please note that this will delete all data related to the application, including messages, photos, and videos. Be sure to back up your important data before proceeding with uninstallation.
Example:
Suppose you have followed the first two steps but are still unable to exit out of LINE app. In this case, you will need to uninstall and reinstall the app by following the above instructions.
Step 4: Check for updates or bugs in the application
If you have tried all previous solutions and Line application still does not work properly, you may need to check for any available updates or known bugs in the application.

In some cases, you may need to wait for the update to become available for your device. In such a case, regularly check Google Play Store to see if a new update for Line application is available.
Check for any known bugs in Line application
In some cases, there may be an issue with Line application that has not yet been resolved by developers. In such a case, you may need to wait for an application update to fix the problem.
