How does Duolingo Family sharing work?
Duolingo Family allows you to share a premium subscription between several members. On Sharesub, access is provided exclusively through an invitation link — no login credentials 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?
Log in to Sharesub and go to Subscriptions > Joined subscriptions.
On the Duolingo subscription, click “View details”.
Copy the invitation link displayed in the Credentials section.
Open the link in your browser (preferably in private browsing mode) and log in to your existing Duolingo account.
Accept the invitation. You are now part of the Family group and get immediate access to premium features.
The link doesn’t work — what should I do?
Several situations can prevent access:
The link has expired
Duolingo links have a limited validity 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 cannot be accepted. Let the owner know via the chat — they 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 does not allow you to be a member of two Family groups at the same time. If you are already part of a group, you must leave it before accepting the new invitation.
The owner doesn’t respond or doesn’t send a new link
If you 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
Log in to Duolingo and go to your Family subscription settings.
Copy the invitation link generated by Duolingo.
On Sharesub, go to My subscriptions > View details and paste the link into the designated section.
If a co-subscriber reports that the link no longer works, generate a new one 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.
