Quick answer
In June 2024, Duolingo allows users to restore lost streaks by completing three consecutive lessons. The feature is available only this month and applies to streaks of 30+ days.
Language-learning platform Duolingo has temporarily introduced a feature to restore lost streaks—daily learning streaks users maintain for motivation. The option is available only in June 2024 and allows recovery by completing three lessons consecutively in one session.
To qualify, the streak must be at least 30 days long. The feature appears automatically in the app for eligible users. According to the company, over 15 million users maintain streaks exceeding one year, with record streaks reaching 13 years. Previously, missing a single day meant losing years of progress, prompting widespread user dissatisfaction.
The initiative responds to numerous user requests. In the past year alone, tens of thousands of users from over 80 countries reached out to Duolingo via social media—including Facebook* and Twitter**/X*—asking to restore lost streaks. The company noted this is one of the most frequent complaints in user feedback.
* Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, and other Meta services are owned by Meta Platforms Inc., whose activities are recognized as extremist and banned in the Russian Federation.
** The social network X (Twitter) is banned in the Russian Federation.
