Anyone who uses the popular Japanese messaging app known as Line and who also intend to purchase an Apple Watch will be happy to learn that the app will be making its way to Apple’s smartwatch. While a smartphone will still be required to use the app and the functionality will be limited, users will still be able to do all of the essentials and will be able to use a number of different emoji and stickers.
Today, Japan’s Line messaging app announced via the company’s website that it will support the Apple Watch. Users of the Line smartphone app will be able to link the app with their Watch to view and send messages on their wrist. And – of course – you don’t have to reply with your voice, as the Line Watch app will also support messaging with stickers and emoji. The app’s functionality will be limited compared to the smartphone app, though. At launch there will be only 38 kinds of stickers and 144 different emoji available, and there’s no way to download additional emoji or stickers. The Watch app also won’t support text messages or sending pictures the way that the smartphone version does. In addition to English and several European languages, Line’s Watch app will be available in Japanese, Korean and Chinese (both simplified and traditional) at launch.
