Twitter gives you the ability to turn subtitles on or off on your mobile device. The social network has started rolling out a subtitles switcher for everyone on Android and iOS a few months after it began testing the feature. As long as a video posted on the platform has available subtitles, you’ll see a CC button in the top right – just tap it to toggle subtitles on or off.
It’s a great addition for accessibility purposes as it allows you to display subtitles whenever you want. In the past, the CC button for web and mobile captions only appeared when your sound was off. Also, subtitles will automatically disappear when you expand a video as it allows for sound playback. A few years ago you even had to Go to the accessibility settings to turn on subtitles by subtitles if you want to see subtitles for your videos at all. However, the feature has one limitation: the button will only appear for a video if a caption has been provided for it.
According to a spokesperson Twitter spoke to, back in December, Twitter rolled out auto-generated captions for videos unrelated to this particular feature The edge. However, they only appear on muted videos, unless you choose the option to show them at all times on the site’s accessibility settings page. There is also currently no way to report inaccurate automatic captions.
