- For Disney Plus, open the subtitles menu by selecting the icon above your timeline and choosing your language.
Ninja Tip: If your subtitles still aren’t appearing correctly, check your device’s global accessibility settings under Settings > Accessibility > Subtitles and Captioning to ensure they aren’t disabled at the system level.
If the captions are still not working properly, you can perform a device reset by going to Settings > System > Reset.
