How to use quick actions
- Find PlayLingo on your iPhone or iPad Home Screen.

Continue Watching
Opens the last video you didn’t finish, right where you stopped. If you have no unfinished videos, the app opens Home.
If you have a streak and today doesn’t count yet, the action also shows how many minutes are left to keep it — for example, “2 min to keep your 12-day streak”. See Streak and freezes.
Vocabulary
Opens the Vocabulary tab, where you can start practice. See How practice works.
Removing PlayLingo?
Opens a short feedback form, Before you go? Write one line about what went wrong — you can attach a screenshot and leave your email for a reply. It goes directly to the team.
