Q
When trying social login with google account in the LIFF browser or LINE's in-app browser, an error with a status code 403 and an error code disallowed_useragent will be displayed.

In the LIFF browser and LINE's in-app browser, the user's social login with google account isn't allowed. This is because Google's OAuth 2.0 Policies (opens new window) disallow authorization requests from WebView to Google.

Therefore, when the user tries social login with google account in the LIFF browser or LINE's in-app browser, an error with a status code 403 and an error code disallowed_useragent (opens new window) will be displayed.

Q
Why can't I open a page and an error message appears in the LIFF browser or LINE's in-app browser?

In the LIFF browser and LINE's in-app browser, if there is a problem with the SSL/TLS certificate on a network path, an error may occur and you may not be able to open the page. The following are examples of the error message that appears when the page doesn't open:

  • This connection isn't private
  • Unable to process your request due to a temporary error. Please try again.
  • An unknown error occurred. Please try again later.
  • Unable to open page. Server not found.
  • This site is potentially unsafe. Please close this screen.

Note that even if there is no problem with the certificate of an accessed page, you may receive an error message if there is a certificate problem when loading external resources contained on the page. For example, if you specify a path on a server with a certificate problem in the src attribute of a <script> element as shown below, you may receive an error message.

<script charset="utf-8" src="{A path on a server with a certificate problem}"></script>
Q
Why can't I open the LIFF browser when I access the LIFF URL?

In some cases, when you access a LIFF URL on an external browser such as Safari or Chrome, universal links (opens new window) or app links (opens new window) may not work and the LIFF browser may not open on the LINE app. This depends on the specifications of the user's OS. In addition, when accessing a LIFF URL on a native app other than the LINE app, whether the LIFF app is opened in the external browser or the LIFF browser depends on the WebView specifications of the native app.

For these reasons, we don't guarantee in which environment the LIFF app will open when the LIFF URL is accessed.

For more information, see Environment where the LIFF app opens when a user access the LIFF URL in the LIFF documentation.

Q
How can I get a user's phone number?

You can use LINE Profile+ to get a user's phone number. For more information, see LINE Profile+ scopes in the options for corporate customers documentation.

LINE Profile+ is only available to corporate users who have completed certain applications. If you wish you use LINE Profile+, contact your sales representative or contact our Sales partners (opens new window).

Q
Is it possible for the user IDs of users who have deleted their LINE accounts to be used again?

About the user ID issued by a certain provider, in the case that the corresponding LINE account is deleted, the same user ID won't be reused for other LINE accounts within the provider.

For more information on user IDs, see What are the user ID, group ID, and room ID values?

Q
What are the user ID, group ID, and room ID values?

The user ID used by the LINE Platform identifies a user and has the following characteristics:

  • The value is generated by the LINE Platform, not by a user. This is different from the LINE ID on LINE used to search for friends.

  • Different user IDs are generated based on the provider of the channel. As long as channels have the same provider, regardless of whether the channel is for LINE Login or Messaging API, the same user ID is used for the users of the channels.

  • The user ID value is a string that matches the regular expression, U[0-9a-f]{32}.

The group ID used for group chats and the room ID used for multi-person chats are values generated by the LINE Platform to identify group chats and multi-person chats.

The group ID is a string that matches the regular expression, C[0-9a-f]{32}, and the room ID is a string that matches the regular expression, R[0-9a-f]{32}.

Q
Once a user ID is issued, can it be changed at any time?

User IDs are issued by each channel provider. Once a user ID (userId) is issued for a specific provider, it won't change unless the user deletes their LINE account.

The user ID won't change even if the user transfers their LINE account to another device.

If a user deletes their LINE account and then re-creates a LINE account with the same phone number, the user ID will change.

For more information on user IDs, see What are the user ID, group ID, and room ID values?

Q
Where can I check the status of LINE API outage?

Q
Is the additional information (path, query parameters, URL fragments) included in the LIFF URL accessed by the user also passed to the redirected URL?

If additional information such as paths, query parameters, or URL fragments are provided to the LIFF URL accessed by the user, all additional information is passed to the redirected URL.

The following is an example when the endpoint URL is https://example.com/ and the LIFF URL has /path1/?campaign=campaign1#section-2 as additional information:

LIFF URL accessed by users from QR codes, etc Redirect URL
https://liff.line.me/{liffId}/path1/?campaign=campaign1#section-2 https://example.com/path1/?campaign=campaign1#section-2

For more information, see Behaviors from accessing the LIFF URL to opening the LIFF app.
