This is the reason why you should stop using Line for work because it has other applications or websites that are much better than line why?

Line can’t keep the file longer than a month.

It bad because if you have long-term work to do and you need to come back and scroll through chat that you text last month to see the draft after a month. But line won't allow to keep it and the file will disappear without knowing. it can keep in keep or notes but if you want to work efficiently it doesn’t have a lot of storage for you. And note, it is hard to look up it has a lot of work it will waste of time to scroll down and find the one that you want.

It can be solved by the other app such as slack, Microsoft team, email, etc. Because these have the system to search what are the files that you need to lookup in history.

Also in engineering terms doesn’t have a good design or it can be called technical debt. The first Line wasn’t a big company. After that it grew up and has a lot of users. They can't handle it Then line crash. They solve it by scale it up but if they scale up it will be hard to change the system later, for example, the first line has 1M users and then scale up to 20M because if it has a mistake it will have a lot of loss for their user.

Also, Line has a lot of new systems which means Line is the base of the system if you change the base of it the code it won't run normally and it needs to have a lot of work for that and it is a risky one of the systems might break.
