My friend's LINE VOOM posts don't appear anymore
If a friend's LINE VOOM posts no longer appear, it may be because:
• You aren't following them.
• You added them to Accounts hidden on LINE VOOM.
• You added them to Accounts blocked on LINE VOOM.
• They added you to Accounts blocked on LINE VOOM.
If you hid or blocked someone on LINE VOOM, you can view their LINE VOOM posts again by unhiding or unblocking them.
Note: When you unblock someone, they will also be able to view your LINE VOOM posts.

About the human silhouette icon at the bottom left of LINE VOOM posts
If you see a human silhouette icon at the bottom left of a LINE VOOM post, it means its privacy settings have been set so that the post is shared with only some users (including you).

I see a post on my profile that I set to be shared only with certain users on LINE VOOM
Posts that you set to share only with yourself or certain users will also appear on your profile, but only on your device.
When you make a post on LINE VOOM to be shared with a custom list of users, it will not appear to any users who are not on the list.
Note: The content of posts set to Only me will not appear to anyone but yourself.
If a user who is not included in a custom list visits your profile, they will only see posts that you've made Public.

Posts from users besides the ones I follow appear when I search with hashtags
Since anyone can view LINE VOOM posts that have been made Public, posts from users you don't follow will also appear in your search results.
Public posts can also be shared with your followers.

About LINE VOOM privacy settings
With LINE VOOM, you select the people you want to follow from your LINE friend list. (You are asked to do this initially from the From friends to followers pop-up.) After you select who to follow, your LINE VOOM Following list and LINE friend list are managed separately.
The posts that you see on LINE VOOM are from the people you're following on LINE VOOM, not the users in your LINE friend list. In the same way, your posts will be visible to people who have followed you (your Followers).
After you initially set up your Following list, a list called "LINE friends" is created automatically under Privacy settings > Custom lists, but this list is managed separately from your actual LINE friend list. See this Help article for details.
For more information about how to configure LINE VOOM privacy settings and their specifications, see this Help article.

Sharing posts to your friends on LINE
With LINE Timeline (the service we offered before LINE VOOM), there was a Friends privacy setting that let you share posts to only your friends on LINE. However, this privacy setting can no longer be used after you select the friends you want to follow on LINE VOOM from the From friends to followers pop-up that initially appears.
Instead, you can share posts to just your friends on LINE by using the LINE friends custom list that is automatically created after you initially set up your Following list.
To share posts to your friends on LINE:
1. On the post editing screen, tap Public, the custom list name, or Only me.
Note:
- The post editing screen will appear after you make a post.
- The privacy setting you choose will remain selected for your next post.
2. Select Custom lists > LINE friends.
3. Tap Save or OK at the bottom of the screen.
Keep in mind that the LINE friends custom list will not automatically update after it has been created. If you don't want to share a post with everyone in the LINE friends custom list, you can delete users from it by tapping "-" > OK or Delete.
If you have a new LINE friend you want to share your posts with, follow them and add them directly to the LINE friends custom list. See this Help article for details.
Important: If you block a friend on LINE after initially choosing who to follow, the LINE friends custom list will not automatically update. To prevent your posts from being seen by user you blocked on LINE, you will need to also block them on LINE VOOM.

Adding LINE friends to custom lists

• From LINE VOOM:
Tap the Voom tab > the silhouette icon at the top right of the screen > Settings > Follows > Discover friends > Follow to the right of the friend you want to follow.

• To remove someone from the list, tap "-" to the left of the person you want to remove > OK.
