  1. While playing video content, tap the Media Selection button.

  2. Choose from the list of available subtitles and captions.

Customize the subtitles and captions in supported video apps

  1. Go to Settings  > Accessibility > Subtitles & Captioning.

  2. If you prefer closed captioning or subtitles for the deaf and hard of hearing when available, turn on Closed Captions + SDH.

  3. Tap Style, then choose an existing caption style or create a new style based on the following:

    • Font, size, and color

    • Background color and opacity

    • Text opacity, edge style, and highlight
