Duolingo Family 🩉

How to access a shared Duolingo Family subscription on Sharesub: how invitation links work, common issues and what to do.

How does Duolingo Family sharing work?

Duolingo Family lets you share a premium subscription with several members. On Sharesub, access is provided exclusively through an invitation link — no login details are shared. Each co-subscriber uses their own existing Duolingo account.

👉 You won’t lose your progress: the invitation link adds you to the family group without creating a new account or deleting your data.


How do I join the Duolingo Family group?

  1. Log in to Sharesub and go to Subscriptions > Joined subscriptions.

  2. Find the Duolingo subscription and click “View details”.

  3. Copy the invitation link shown in the Credentials section.

  4. Open the link in your browser (preferably in private browsing mode) and log in to your existing Duolingo account.

  5. Accept the invitation. You’re now part of the Family group and get immediate access to premium features.


The link isn’t working — what should I do?

There are several situations that may prevent you from accessing the subscription:

  • The link has expired

    Duolingo links are only valid for a limited period. Contact the owner via the 💬 subscription chat so they can generate a new link.

  • The group is full (“plan is full”)

    Duolingo Family is limited to 6 members, including the owner. If all spots are taken, the link can’t be accepted. Let the owner know via the chat — they’ll need to free up a spot before sending you a new link.

  • The link opens but displays an error

    Try opening the link in private browsing mode. If the error persists, you may be logged into the wrong Duolingo account in your browser. Log out of Duolingo, log back in with the correct account, and then open the link again.

  • You already have an active Duolingo subscription

    Duolingo doesn’t allow you to be a member of two Family groups at the same time. If you’re already part of a group, you’ll need to leave it before accepting the new invitation.


The owner isn’t responding or doesn’t send a new link

If you’ve contacted the owner via the 💬 chat and they haven’t responded for more than 24 hours:

  • Go to View details > Manage > Report a problem to open a claim.

  • You can request a refund for the unused period.

⚠ Contacting support by email or through the general chat does not open a claim. Only the procedure from the subscription page is taken into account.


For owners: how to share your Duolingo Family subscription

  1. Log in to Duolingo and go to your Family subscription settings.

  2. Copy the invitation link generated by Duolingo.

  3. On Sharesub, go to My subscriptions > View details and paste the link into the designated section.

  4. If a co-subscriber reports that the link no longer works, generate a new link directly from Duolingo and update the subscription page.

💡 Duolingo links can expire or become invalid if you change your subscription. Remember to regularly check that the link displayed on Sharesub is still valid.
