<p>Mobile messaging app Line, which has been on a marketing push in India, has added 10 million Indian users to its registered users count in around three months, as it prepares to kick off a Bollywood actress-backed TV ad campaign in the country. Since officially launching in India, Line said voice calls on its service have grown 3,200 %, use of stickers is up 1,800%, and messages have grown by 700% since June 2013.</p><p>Line revealed the growth figures in a blog but did not specify how many of these new signups are staying active vs trying and then ditching its app. Monthly actives are a more telling metric for apps but Line does not yet break out MAUs, even though some rival messaging apps do, such as WhatsApp (which now has some 300 million MAUs).</p><p>At its last count Line said it had around 250 million registered users. It has also previously confirmed that figure is actually a combined total covering all its iPhone/Android/Windows Phone/BlackBerry/Nokia Asha/feature phone apps. That's significant because Line requires users to register again if they are using its service on different mobile devices so it's likely that registered users figure is being inflated somewhat by duplicate app users, or as people upgrade from feature phones to smartphones, although it's not possible to say by how much.</p><p>Line, which was originally created by NHN Japan (part of South Korea's NHN Corp), bagged a big following in Japan in 2011 and 2012 before spreading its net wider to target markets outside Asia, including Spain and South America. It's been steadily adding to its registered users count ever since, as well as extending its feature set (most recently adding video calling and Vine-esque video clips).</p><p><a href="http://techcrunch.com/2013/10/07/line-india/">Keep reading...</a></p><p>Read also:</p><p><a href="http://economictimes.indiatimes.com/tech/software/messaging-app-line-expects-to-cross-20-million-indian-users-in-2013/articleshow/23579768.cms">Messaging app Line expects to cross 20 million Indian users in 2013</a> (Economic Times)</p><p><a href="http://daily.bhaskar.com/article/GAD-katrina-kaif-to-compete-with-parineeti-chopra-for-free-messaging-app-4394516-NOR.html">It&#039;s Katrina Kaif Vs Parineeti Chopra for free voice messaging apps</a> (Daily Bhaskar)</p><p><a href="http://www.telecomtiger.com/fullstory.aspx?passfrom=breakingnews&storyid=18708&section=S176">Messaging app Line has 10 million registered users in India</a> (TelecomTiger)</p><p>Explore: <a href="http://news.google.com/news/more?ncl=dfm7qq5tA6vnl_Mg6Vo76CjOl9xNM&ned=us">29 additional articles.</a></p>
