I saved content to Keep when sharing it from a PC, but I don't see it in Keep Memo.

Content appears in the Keep Memo chat room only when you share it from a mobile device and select Keep Memo.

If you share content from a PC and select Keep, that content is saved in Keep and not in the Keep Memo chat room.

• To check saved content on LINE for PC: Click the Keep icon at the top left of LINE for PC.

• To check saved content on your smartphone: From the Home tab on LINE, tap your profile at the top of the screen > Keep.

I set a custom icon Share button using the share counter API documentation, but an error occurs and the API doesn't work.

A "blocked by CORS policy" error message may appear and the share counter API may not work in some cases. If you see this error, it means the API is restricted due to the same-origin policy, which is meant to prevent other origin resources on the internet from being accessed.

When using a custom icon, a server-side request is required for the share counter API to work.

If you have any questions about this or any other error, contact us (opens new window).

Why does text that I shared with the LINE Share button appear garbled?

It's possible the character encoding is incorrect. Check to make sure that you shared percent-encoded text with UTF-8 character encoding.
