While the rise of smartphones has been blamed for a decrease in personal connections, LINE Corporation has discovered messaging apps are actually improving the relationships of European users. In a recent survey of 9,000 UK residents, over 79 percent of respondents said instant messaging apps were improving their romantic relationships. Furthermore, 56 percent of respondents said instant messaging is the number one service they use to maintain those romantic relationships over long distances.

Messaging apps may even be making users more sociable or outgoing than they would be otherwise.
