Line Today, one of the news portals in Indonesia, is rumored to be discontinuing its services on July 6, 2022. Fanny Verona, Country Manager of LINE Indonesia, confirmed the news and explained that this was done because LINE Indonesia wanted to direct the company's focus on the financial technology business in Indonesia. The discontinuation of Line Today will take place and will have no impact on other features of the LINE app.
"From the user perspective, LINE users in Indonesia can still use their LINE accounts to communicate with friends, family, or other relatives," said Fanny.
In addition to the LINE feature for communicating via instant messages, LINE appusers can still access various other features provided by LINE, such as a feature that provides various kinds of games, namely Line Games, a feature that provides many types of comics, namely Line Webtoon, and other features.
"Several services, including our standalone application, will continue to operate as before," she said.
The news that the LINE app can still be used normally is something that users of the app need to know. This is considering the large number of LINE app users in Indonesia. Originally from databoks.katadata.co.id: According to the Business of Apps report, the instant messaging app LINE will have 178 million monthly active users (MAU) globally in 2021. Then, of this number, it is known that LINE's four main markets in 2021 are Indonesia, Japan, Taiwan, and Thailand, which account for around 75% of their total monthly active users.
The business strategy taken by LINE is solely to focus on the company going forward. That way, users of the LINE instant messaging app in Indonesia don't have to worry about the news of the discontinuation of Line Today.
