Apple TV+ Subtitles Not Working? Turn Them On
Subtitles and captions are controlled both in playback and in your accessibility settings. Here is how to switch them on, off, and fix odd behaviour.
Control Apple TV+ subtitles
- During playback, swipe down on the Siri Remote (or open the playback menu) and choose Subtitles.
- Pick your language or turn captions off.
- Check accessibility: Settings › Accessibility › Subtitles and Captioning if captions are stuck on.
- Adjust the style there if captions are hard to read.
- Restart the title if subtitles fail to load on a specific show.
Closed Captions (SDH) and standard subtitles are listed separately – if one set is missing, look for the other in the list.
Frequently asked questions
