How to cancel Super Duolingo on any device

Super Duolingo is a paid subscription that removes ads and unlocks features like offline lessons and unlimited hearts. To cancel it, you go through the same app store where you originally paid — Apple App Store if you use iPhone, Google Play if you use Android, or your web browser if you subscribed on the Duolingo website. Duolingo itself does not handle cancellations directly; the app store does.

The reason this matters is that cancelling through Duolingo's app will not work. You have to cancel through your payment method. If you do not cancel before your next billing date, you will be charged again. Most people find the cancellation option buried in their phone's settings rather than in the Duolingo app itself, which is why the process feels confusing the first time.

Key Takeaways

  • Super Duolingo cancellations happen through your app store (Apple, Google, or web browser), not through the Duolingo app itself.
  • On iPhone, you cancel in Settings under your Apple ID, then Subscriptions; on Android, you cancel in Google Play Store under your account menu.
  • Cancelling stops future charges but does not refund money already paid for the current billing period.
  • If you cancel before your next billing date, your Super Duolingo features stay active until that date arrives.

Cancel Super Duolingo on iPhone

Open the Settings app on your iPhone — the grey gear icon on your home screen. Tap your name at the very top of the screen, then tap Subscriptions. You will see a list of all active subscriptions tied to your Apple ID. Find Duolingo in that list and tap it.

Tap the red Cancel Subscription button. Apple will ask you to confirm and may offer you a discount to keep the subscription. Tap Cancel Subscription again to confirm. You will see a message saying your subscription has been cancelled, and it will remain active until your next billing date. Take a screenshot of this confirmation if you want proof of cancellation.

Cancel Super Duolingo on Android

Open the Google Play Store app. Tap your profile icon in the top right corner, then tap Manage your Google Account. Go to the Payments and subscriptions tab, then tap Subscriptions. Find Duolingo and tap it.

Tap Cancel subscription. Google will show you your next billing date and ask you to confirm the cancellation. Tap Cancel subscription again. You will see a confirmation that your subscription has been cancelled. Your Super Duolingo access continues until the date shown on the cancellation screen.

Cancel Super Duolingo on the web

If you subscribed through Duolingo's website using a credit card or PayPal, log into your Duolingo account at duolingo.com. Click your profile icon in the top right corner and select Settings. Scroll down to the Subscriptions section.

Click Manage next to your Super Duolingo subscription. You will see your billing date and a button to cancel. Click Cancel Subscription and confirm. Unlike app store cancellations, web cancellations sometimes process when ready, so check your email for a confirmation receipt. Your access ends on the date shown in your account settings.

What happens after you cancel

Once you cancel, you lose access to Super Duolingo features on your next billing date. Ads return, hearts go back to the limited daily amount, and offline lessons become unavailable. Your learning progress and streaks stay in your account — cancelling does not delete anything.

If you change your mind before your billing date, you can resubscribe through the same app store. You will not be charged twice. If you want to pause rather than cancel permanently, Duolingo does not offer a pause option, so cancellation is the only way to stop charges.

Refunds and billing issues

App stores and Duolingo do not refund money for the current billing period once it has started. If you were charged yesterday and cancel today, that charge stands. However, if you were charged by mistake or charged twice in one month, you can request a refund directly from your app store.

On iPhone, go to Settings, tap your name, then Subscriptions, tap Duolingo, and scroll down to Report an Issue. On Android, open Google Play Store, tap your profile icon, then Help and feedback, then Report an issue. Explain what happened and attach a screenshot of the duplicate charge. Refunds usually take five to ten business days.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will I lose my streak if I cancel Super Duolingo?

No. Your streak and all learning progress stay in your account. Cancelling only removes the paid features like ads removal and offline lessons. You can keep learning with the free version and your streak will continue.

Can I cancel Super Duolingo directly through the Duolingo app?

No. Duolingo does not have a cancellation button in its app. You must cancel through your app store — Apple Settings, Google Play Store, or your web browser depending on where you subscribed. This is how all app subscriptions work.

What if I do not cancel before my next billing date?

You will be charged for another month of Super Duolingo. Cancel as soon as you decide you do not want it. If you were charged unexpectedly, contact your app store within 30 days to request a refund.

Can I get a refund for the month I already paid?

App stores do not refund active billing periods. However, if you were charged twice in one month or charged after cancelling, you can file a refund request through your app store's help section. Include screenshots of the charges.

Do I need to cancel before I delete the Duolingo app?

Yes. Deleting the app does not cancel your subscription. You will still be charged on your next billing date. Cancel through your app store first, then delete the app if you want.
