Subtitles and captioning

and captions. You can also customize the look of subtitles and captions.
Note: Not all videos include closed captions.
Turn on Closed Captions and SDH. In Settings R , go to General > Accessibility,
then turn on "Closed Captions and SDH." Or, use the Accessibility Shortcut. See

three times. When VoiceOver is turned on, this action instead turns audio
descriptions on or off. See VoiceOver .
Customize your subtitles and captions. In Settings M , go to General >
Accessibility > Style, where you can cl1oose an existing caption style or create a
new style based on your choice of:
