Duolingo modified its audio collection and sharing policy on May 27, 2026. Previously, the policy stated that audio sharing for product improvement could be declined on iOS devices specifically, and that Android users and website users were not subject to audio collection for this purpose. The updated policy removes the device-specific distinction and the explicit statement that Android and website users are excluded, stating instead that all users may choose not to share audio for product improvement within app Settings. This change broadens the stated scope of audio collection to potentially include all platforms, while simultaneously offering a uniform opt-out mechanism.
