The official Line app for Windows 10 computers updated this week with a rather dramatic update that unpinned it from the Start Menu, causing users to manually repin it again.

Interestingly, this update, which brings Line to Version 5.10.0, features two completely different release notes that mention different changes made to the app.

Here’s the release notes from the Microsoft Store app listing:

  • Added the ability to unsend messages.
  • Reply directly to specific messages in chats.
  • Use paid emoji in chats.
  • Minor bug fixes and other small improvements

And here’s the release notes from within the app itself:

  • We’ve made some improvements to the video player.
  • Increased the max character limit for group names to 50.
  • Added an option to receive notifications when you are mentioned in a chat.
  • Minor bug fixes and other small improvements.

Line is a one of the most-popular messaging apps in Japan and Taiwan but also has a growing userbase internationally as well. An official Line app is also available for Windows phone users.

Radu Tyrsina has been a Windows fan ever since he got his first PC, a Pentium III (a monster at that time). For most of the kids of his age, the Internet was an amazing way to play and communicate with others, but he was deeply impressed by the flow of information and how easily you can find anything on the web. Prior to founding Windows Report, this particular curiosity about digital content enabled him to grow a number of sites that helped hundreds of millions reach faster the answer they're looking for.
