THE popular language-learning app has shocked users with its new look – after scrapping its social media accounts.

The iconic logo – which now appears with three eyes – has blown the brains of fans.

Duolingo recently wiped its Instagram and TikTok accounts, followed by the mind-boggling message “gonefornow123″.

Alongside the cryptic message was a set of two dead roses and three eye emojis in the bio description.

Its last post on platform X on May 17 read: “Real eyes realise real lies,” followed by another set of three eye emojis. 

One user asked: “I was updating a bunch of my apps and saw Duolingo had three eyes now??? I opened the what’s new tab and it’s like he’s gone demonic…?”

“Could this be another sign of the second coming?” inquired a second user.

“The 3 eyes creep me out personally,” admitted a third.

A fourth penned: “Why does Duo have 3 eyes??”

Duolingo has left its 16.7 million TikTok followers and 4.6 million Instagram fans baffled after disappearing without explanation.

A Duolingo spokesperson told ADWEEK recently: “Let’s just say we’re experimenting with silence.

“Sometimes, the best way to make noise is to disappear first.”

Duolingo is a free language learning app that helps users master new words and phrases in a language of their choice.

The app delivers up game style language study tools in bite-sized lessons.

Users can choose from over 40 languages to learn from scratch, or simply to brush up on their knowledge of speaking a second language.

In October 2023, the Duolingo owl appeared to melt as part of a limited-time app icon change. 

Duolingo is the world’s most downloaded free language-learning app.
