Duolingo has won hearts with its unique features and gamified learning process.
One of the most important and popular is the Duolingo Streak Freeze feature. It helps users stay motivated and stick to the daily learning process.
Duolingo Streak is the consecutive days a learner completes a lesson on the language learning platform.
The Duolingo Streak was designed with habit-building in mind. However many users live in fear of losing their streak.
To prevent your streak from resetting, you can purchase a streak freeze to protect it for a week.

What is a Streak Freeze?
Duolingo Streak represents the number of consecutive days you have completed at least one lesson on Duolingo.

How To Check If A Streak Freeze is Active?
If a streak freeze is activated on your Duolingo account, you will notice a Streak Freeze icon on your home screen.
As long as you see the icon, your streak will be protected if you miss a day of practice.
However, if you miss for a day or two without the Streak Freeze being active, your streak on Duolingo will be lost.
Notably, a Streak Freeze is used to protect your Duolingo Streak for a day and you can only use two at a time.
To refill additional Streak Freeze, you will have to spend 200 Gems.
How To Freeze Duolingo Streak For A Week
Streak Freeze can be used to protect your streak if you are unable to practice for a day.
However, it is not possible to cover a week.
As mentioned above, you can only equip Two Streak freezes at a time. It means you can only Freeze your Streak for two days.
To freeze your Streak for a week on Duolingo, you need to purchase a Streak Freeze every day just before your streak is about to expire. Or, you can also purchase in advance.
