warning icon  Be advised
Leaving groups or deleting your LINE account does not delete albums or photos in chats, and they can still be viewed by other members. For this reason, photos added to albums in the past may appear in other members' notifications. Even if you delete albums and photos before leaving groups or deleting your LINE account, the photos may still temporarily appear in notifications due to the rate at which the system refreshes.

If there's an issue occurring with notifications, see I'm not receiving notifications/I don't hear notification sounds or ringtones.
