Duolingo is an American-based educational platform where users can learn upto 40 distinct language courses and provides certification on course completion. Apart from learning the language, you can also practice grammar, vocabulary, pronunciation, and listening skills with this application. If you use the app at night for learning, you can enable the dark mode to reduce eye strain. However, only the Android version of Duolingo has built-in dark mode settings. On iPhone, you need to change the device theme settings.
But unfortunately, the Duolingo web version doesn’t have a dark theme feature. Therefore, you need to use the dark mode extension to enable the feature.
