We're excited to introduce two new helpful features in the latest version of LINE: Ladder Shuffle and Relay. 

In the past we've added features like LINE Schedule and group video calls to help you close the distance when talking with friends and family. Now with ladder shuffles and relay posts, it's even easier to sync up with those important to you! 

Read on to find out what ladder shuffles and relay posts are all about.

Since the ladder shuffle is shared in the chat right when you make it, your friends can't miss it! 

If you and your friends can't decide on something just by talking, why not give Ladder Shuffle a try? 
Let the ladders decide!  

Relay

With relay posts, you and your friends can share photos, videos, and text with each other all in one themed album.

Now it's simple to organize everyone's photos, videos, and text in one neat relay post. The themed relay post will also be shown on Timeline for other friends to view if you wish.
You can even make a public relay post and try getting lots of people to contribute!

With a public relay post, any LINE user can view and contribute to it. Share some of your favorite hobbies and see what gets added to the relay post.


Relay posts are perfect for...
• A long-awaited reunion of friends—share everyone's photos in a relay post!
• Your favorite singer's concert—join up with other fans and check out their shots!
• The start of sunflower season—make a public relay post and trade sunflower info with people all over the world!
• Touring your favorite coffee chain—learn more about each shop's specialty drinks!

Your relay post will show up on Timeline in a easy-to-read slideshow format. 
It's simple to get a relay post started! 

1. Tap Relay at the top of Timeline.
