Thanks LACAllen. I didn't know that's how it worked. I thought I would be able to see the chat backup like I can see my Photos that are backed up. I dug around on my iPhone a little more and saw that if I went to Settings>General>Storage & iCloud Usage and then selected 'Manage Storage' for iCloud that the LINE app icon shows up under Documents & Data. Thanks for clarifying for me how iCloud stores app data. Cheers!!
Go to the LINE chatting interface, select and open the certain chat conversation you want to backup. Turn to the top right corner to tap on the drop-down arrow which is a 'V' shaped button. Then, go to 'Chat Settings' and select 'Backup Chat History'. Note: Make sure to log in to iCloud with the same Apple ID you used to back up your chat history. From your iOS device, tap Settings your name at the top of the screen.
