The Duolingo Outfits shop
Outfits were different costumes you could buy with gems that dressed Duo differently, and would change the motivational message animations in the lessons, so that he wore the outfit you bought instead of his normal look. The change started in January of 2022, with the first affected being iOS users, and it ended in May-June of 2022, with every user having Duo's Outfits removed. The reactions were negative, with many users saying that the outfits that Duo could wear made the app more alive. Some users theorized that since Duolingo was not gaining money out of it, nor did they notice more traffic from users because of the Outfits, it was axed.
