If learners have the latest version of the Duolingo app downloaded, they should see melting Duo as the app icon. The purpose of the new app icon is to encourage learners to open the app.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/sft\/articles\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2023\/10\/ilgmyzin-Xe21OFRpqvk-unsplash-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-255725\" srcset=\"https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2023\/10\/ilgmyzin-Xe21OFRpqvk-unsplash-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2023\/10\/ilgmyzin-Xe21OFRpqvk-unsplash-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2023\/10\/ilgmyzin-Xe21OFRpqvk-unsplash-768x433.jpg 768w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2023\/10\/ilgmyzin-Xe21OFRpqvk-unsplash-800x450.jpg 800w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2023\/10\/ilgmyzin-Xe21OFRpqvk-unsplash-664x374.jpg 664w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2023\/10\/ilgmyzin-Xe21OFRpqvk-unsplash-238x134.jpg 238w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2023\/10\/ilgmyzin-Xe21OFRpqvk-unsplash-436x246.jpg 436w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2023\/10\/ilgmyzin-Xe21OFRpqvk-unsplash-370x208.jpg 370w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2023\/10\/ilgmyzin-Xe21OFRpqvk-unsplash-304x170.jpg 304w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2023\/10\/ilgmyzin-Xe21OFRpqvk-unsplash-150x84.jpg 150w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2023\/10\/ilgmyzin-Xe21OFRpqvk-unsplash.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The program divides language courses into bite-sized chunks, making learning more manageable and enjoyable. Users may enhance their language abilities quickly thanks to interactive classes and simple exercises.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Due to its simple layout and efficient language learning methods, Duolingo has amassed a significant following as a free smartphone app. Some users, however, may be disturbed by the melting logo that now graces their app&#8217;s icon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">WHY IS MY DUOLINGO MELTING <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/I1YsFkzpZs\">pic.twitter.com\/I1YsFkzpZs<\/a><\/p>&mdash; cam\/francis!! ???

If you have a Super Duolingo or Duoling Max subscription, you may change the melted Duolingo app icon to a Super or Max-themed one. To make this modification, go to the home screen of the Duolingo app, press the Duo symbol in the upper right corner, scroll down to the Super App symbol or Max App Icon, and hit &#8220;Turn On.&#8221; This simple technique allows you to customize your app icon to your liking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Those who are members of Duolingo&#8217;s Streak Society can also modify the app icon. Go to the Duolingo home screen, look for the fire\/streak icon at the top, scroll down to the Streak Society section, and click &#8220;Change App Icon.&#8221; If you want to go back to the original melted Duolingo app icon, just hit the &#8220;Change App Icon&#8221; option again and select &#8220;Restore Original Icon.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Duolingo has caught the attention of its users due to a rather unexpected change.
