Subtitles not working in prime video app in iPhone – How to fix

Can’t see any subtitles on the Prime Video app on your iPhone? The subtitles on the Prime Video provides an essential support for the viewers. While streaming videos, subtitles can be optional if you are well versed in the language of the movie, it is an absolute necessity while viewing the subbed videos. You can troubleshoot the problem on your own if you just follow the steps in here.

 

Fix 1 –  Make sure the Subtitles are on

The problem that you are having with the subtitles can be due to wrong settings in the video player.

Step 1 – Open the Prime Video and start to stream the movie/web series of your choice.

Step 2 – Then, tap the subtitles button in the player.

Step 3 – Make sure the “Off” option is not selected in the Subtitles option. You can simply select the subtitle of your choice from the same subtitles panel.

NOTE – You have to remember the Prime Video recalls your preference and set them to default to provide you a seamless experience across the platform. So, if you have turned off the subtitles or changed the Subtitle language, it will remain in off mode for all the videos that you stream on Prime Video app.

 

Fix 2 – Turn on Closed Captions

You can turn on the Closed Captions option from the iPhone settings.

Step 1 – At first, load up the Settings on the iPhone.

Step 2 – Next, open up the “Accessibility” module.
