Duolingo Copies Neo from The Matrix on Xiaomi

Users of the Chinese version of Duolingo have noticed an unusual behavior of the app when deleting adjacent programs. The Green Owl, the main character of the educational service, demonstrates a reaction reminiscent of a scene from the movie "The Matrix".

The phenomenon was noticed by Xiaomi smartphone owners. When trying to delete another app next to the Duolingo icon, the company logo begins to behave in a way that is not characteristic of standard icons.

The effect of Neo's cosplay from "The Matrix" lies in the fact that the Owl icon seems to dodge deletion or disappearance, remaining on the screen. This behavior evokes associations with the main hero's ability to avoid bullets in the cult film.

At this moment, this feature has been recorded exclusively on devices running MIUI/HyperOS from Xiaomi. Users of other manufacturers have not yet reported similar effects.
