Duolingo takes screen time limits to the next level by blocking other apps until you finish studying

Duolingo may be dialing back its "unhinged" marketing strategy, but it is still developing eclectic, unique features that set it apart from other apps. Its Focus Mode is a particularly clever idea. By preventing users from accessing other apps until they've finished their studies, Duolingo keeps its language learners on task while also grabbing more screen time for itself. When a Duolingo user turns on Focus Mode, they choose any number of apps to affect and set the number of lessons they wish to complete. Until those tasks are done, the selected apps will appear greyed out on the user's home screen. Focus Mode, of course, is completely optional. If you must use one of the blocked apps, you can override your settings on Duolingo. Visit Tubefilter for more great stories.
