Duolingo is a popular app and website. This platform has been a personal favorite for a long time. However, the platform had a new layout update. Most people think that it is annoying and terrible. You can tell just how much people disapprove even on social media.
So, how do I get my old Duolingo layout back? Is it even possible?
Well, you can get the old layout back. In this post, we will be checking out easy methods to help you revert to the old layout. Let’s get to it.
Why has my Duolingo Format Changed?
Over the last couple of weeks, the company that has developed Duolingo has pushed a new layout in the platform’s interface, which changes the experience. According to the CEO, this change was made to make Duolingo easier to understand and use for new users.
In the new layout, a single learning path is followed by the users. It eradicates the ability of a user to choose the lesson he or she wishes to take next.
Using Duolingo Schools to Change the Layout Back
For this to work, you will need to create a classroom through Duolingo schools. If you have a Duolingo account already set up, you can do that easily. Once you create an account, you will have a button that helps you revert the layout.
While this method works, it is only available for a limited period. It will only work until its support is cut by Duolingo.
Changing Back using An Alternative Duolingo Link
There is an alternative link that you can use to help you get the old layout for a certain amount of time. The website version does not have the adjustments that have been made. The link is https://www-internal.duolingo.com/learn.
An Android Version
It is simple. If the Duolingo app doesn’t use the older layout, there is no way the new one can be enforced. There are versions of the app that do not include the layout and are supported still. Therefore, if you have an older version of the app, it will have its older layout.
A simple Google search will help you find an APK file. The truth is, there are a couple of versions that work. The version we are completely certain about is 5.17.
Follow these steps. Find and download an installation file that uses the older layouts. Once done, visit your downloads folder and select the downloaded APK file.
You may need to give the app certain permissions for it to function properly. Finally, open the app, log in, and enjoy.
Conclusion
If you do not approve of the new layout and would prefer to use the new layout, then these are methods that can help you achieve that.
