Duolingo: Learn Languages cancellation: frequently asked questions
Does canceling Duolingo: Learn Languages stop the charges immediately?
No. Canceling stops future renewals but you keep access until the end of the billing period you already paid for. After that date Duolingo: Learn Languages will not charge you again. If you were charged unexpectedly, request a refund separately.
Can I get a refund from Duolingo: Learn Languages?
Refunds are handled by Apple or Google, not by Duolingo: Learn Languages directly. On iPhone, go to reportaproblem.apple.com, sign in, find the Duolingo: Learn Languages charge and choose Request a refund. On Android, open the Play Store order history, select the purchase and tap Report a problem. Requests made within 48 hours are often approved automatically.
Why is Duolingo: Learn Languages still charging me after I canceled?
The most common causes: the cancellation did not finish (check that Subscriptions shows Duolingo: Learn Languages as Expired), you have a second subscription under a different Apple ID or Google account, or you canceled inside the app but not in the store where billing actually lives. Cancel it in the Google Play subscription settings to be sure.
How do I delete my Duolingo: Learn Languages account?
Deleting your account is separate from canceling the subscription. To remove your data, delete the account inside the Duolingo: Learn Languages app settings first, then cancel the subscription in the Google Play and uninstall the app. Canceling alone does not erase your account.
Will I lose access to Duolingo: Learn Languages right after I cancel?
No. You keep full access to Duolingo: Learn Languages until the paid period ends, so there is no benefit to waiting. Cancel as soon as you decide, and enjoy the remaining days you already paid for.
